Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Kaveri refuses to return to the Poddars in Abhira's presence

Tonight's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai begins with Dadi chastising Sanjay for not informing her about Madhav's accident. She tells him that his lie could have destroyed her life, family, and business. She expresses her inability to forgive him and regrets ever trusting him. Despite Vidya's reassurances, Dadi remains disillusioned, feeling like she's been living in a false reality. She hands the house keys over to Vidya.

Armaan (Rohit Purohit) tells Abhira (Samridhii Shukla) that Dadi doesn't care for him. Dadi curses Abhira and drives away, leaving Abhira in tears. Madhav instructs Manoj and Krish to follow her. Abhira and Armaan are left crying.

Ruhi accuses Abhira:

As Dadi drives, she reflects on recent events and is overwhelmed with sorrow, feeling that Abhira has taken her family away. Sanjay blames Abhira and Armaan for the family's troubles, but Vidya urges him to stay silent. Suddenly, Dadi experiences a heart attack and crashes her car into a tree. Ruhi arrives at the scene, finds Dadi, and urgently takes her to the hospital, urging the driver to hurry. The Poddars receive a call from Ruhi, informing them about Dadi's accident and her condition.

At the hospital, Abhira and Armaan meet Ruhi, who explains that Dadi had a heart attack while driving. The doctor informs them that Dadi is stable thanks to Ruhi's timely intervention. Madhav and Kajal express their gratitude to Ruhi. Kajal then rebukes Armaan, blaming him for Dadi's condition. Amidst the argument, Ruhi accuses Abhira of being selfish and blames her for the family's strife, stating that true love requires sacrifices.

Kaveri refuses to return:

Feeling dejected, Abhira and Armaan find solace in each other's company, sitting under a curtain and consoling each other. Vidya urges Dadi to return home, but Dadi refuses, stating she will not live where Abhira is present. Madhav tries to reason with her, but Dadi stands firm, declaring that it's either her or Abhira in the house. Armaan, frustrated, goes to drink hot coffee but is stopped by Abhira. He then suggests they marry, but Abhira, recalling Dadi's harsh words, rejects the idea.

Precap for the next episode:

In the precap, Armaan and Abhira approach Dadi, promising not to marry without her blessing. Dadi refuses to grant permission. Abhira makes a promise to Vidya. Dadi, feeling utterly alone, sees someone wearing a mask.
