Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Manisha backs Ruhi against Abhira's accusations

In tonight's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai episode, Kaveri discusses the upcoming ritual, prompting Kajal to inquire about who will get to make Baal Gopal Ke Shubh Kadmo Ke Nishaan. Ruhi and Rohit hope that Kaveri will grant them the opportunity, but Kaveri decides to entrust the ritual to Abhira. Manisha is thrilled by this decision, while Ruhi and Rohit are left surprised. Kaveri praises Abhira for her role in the ritual and asks her to fetch the Prashad. 

To Abhira’s dismay, she discovers the Prashad is missing, and Kaveri places the blame on her. In an attempt to salvage the situation, Ruhi brings a new prashad to impress Kaveri and reports that Krishna’s attire is damaged. Kaveri regrets her decision to let Abhira handle the ritual. Ruhi steps in to rectify the situation.

Tensions rise when Abhira confronts Ruhi, accusing her of ruining the decorations. Ruhi denies responsibility, and Abhira plans to reveal Ruhi's actions to Kaveri. Manisha supports Ruhi and insists that Abhira should overlook the incident.

The scene takes a turn when Kaveri is astonished to find a baby dressed as Lord Krishna. She blames Abhira for bringing the child, but Abhira insists she has no idea about the baby. Abhira tries to lead the baby out of Puja's area. Manish suggests to Kaveri that they proceed with the ceremony, and Vidya backs Manish's suggestion. Kaveri performs the puja while questioning Abhira about the baby. Kaveri tries to communicate, but the baby starts crying. Manisha wonders if Kaveri's voice is frightening the baby, and Kaveri attempts to calm the child. Armaan steps in to care for the baby, who seems content in his presence. He learns the baby is mute, and both Abhira and Kaveri feel sympathy for her situation.

Kaveri instructs Madhav to take the baby to the police station. Armaan discovers the baby is a girl and opposes Kaveri's plan to send her away. He decides to care for the baby himself and asks Abhira to support him in this decision. Kaveri eventually agrees to let Armaan take charge.

Armaan and Abhira comfort the baby, who enjoys playing with Arman. Abhira observes Armaan's growing attachment to the child, noting that he stays up all night to care for her.
