Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Manjiri attempts suicide, Abhimanyu rushes back home to the Birla mansion

The episode commences with Akshu playfully tending to Abhi's bag. In a lighthearted moment, she jests, and Abhi responds by suggesting he'll stay in a hotel. Akshu, puzzled, questions this decision, proposing that he stay with them. Abhi shares that he feels like a "Ghar Jamai" – a son-in-law living with his in-laws – prior to marriage. Akshu playfully pats him and encourages him to embrace a more modern mindset.

Abhi, however, sticks to his traditional thinking, asserting his fondness for old-fashioned ways. A playful exchange ensues, with Akshu disclosing her daily ritual of consuming "kada," prompting Abhi to humorously label her as a "Gharelu doctor" (home remedy expert). They engage in a friendly argument, their gazes locked as they reminisce about past moments.

Amid their banter, Abhi acknowledges that he can stay at their place temporarily, but it can't serve as a permanent solution. He expresses his intention to consult a real estate broker to find a suitable home, specifically suggesting Kasauli as an ideal choice for Abhir and their forthcoming baby. Akshu, however, raises the concern of leaving Manjiri behind.

Abhi reassures her that he will make regular visits. Akshu is concerned about him sacrificing his city for her sake, but Abhi clarifies that he's making this choice for his own well-being, not solely for her. They agree to set the discussion aside for the time being.In another scene, Parth engages in a phone call with Mahima, persistently urging her to meet and have a conversation. As morning breaks, Shefali suggests that Manjiri takes a brief one-hour nap, but Manjiri is unwavering in her determination. She firmly believes that her son will return to her of his own accord.

Akshu intervenes, attempting to persuade Manjiri to consider Abhi's happiness despite her initial resistance. Manjiri firmly maintains her position, arguing that Abhi's happiness is with her and that she is primarily concerned with his well-being.

Manjiri, in her resolve, asserts that her son will return to her of his own volition, citing his stubbornness. In this moment, Akshu approaches, suggesting that Manjiri possesses the unique ability to break through Abhi's stubbornness. Aarohi intervenes, noting Manjiri's high blood pressure and deciding to delay their conversation.

Akshu, however, is determined to speak to Manjiri. Manjiri opens up, expressing her deep-seated anguish at her son's departure to Akshu's side. She conveys her readiness to undergo any sacrifice for his sake.

In a heartfelt plea, Akshu shares her own perspective. She acknowledges the innate desire of a mother for her child's happiness but emphasizes that she, too, seeks the happiness of both her child and Abhir. She implores Manjiri to embrace her as a mother, if not for her blessings, then as an act of charity. She underscores Abhi's wish to create a family with both of them and earnestly implores Manjiri to extend her love for the sake of Abhi's well-being.

Despite Akshu's heartfelt plea, Manjiri remains resolute in her beliefs, rejecting Akshu's perspective.

Manjiri firmly asserts, "My Abhi's happiness lies with your child. I don't know what kind of education you've received. I want to impart worldly wisdom to my son. Abhi will return home; he will come back to me. He'll leave your baby and come back to his mother. He can't stay away from his mom." With that, she exits the scene.

Aarohi, observing the emotional exchange, questions Akshu's decision to supplicate for her children's happiness.

Aarohi reaffirms their collective support for Akshu's cause.

Abhi takes the initiative to share images of potential houses with Akshu. As she joins him, he candidly expresses his inability to be separated from his mother. In his quest for a suitable solution, he discloses his search for homes in Udaipur. He believes that Manjiri's resentment may subside once she lays eyes on their baby, and he plans to secure a one-year housing contract to address this matter. He tells her that Manjiri has committed suicide. Abhi's initial reaction is one of utter shock. He vehemently denies the possibility of his mother taking such drastic actions. Akshu, however, insists that they return home in light of the situation. Abhi, determined to be with his mother, refuses Akshu's suggestion and makes a swift exit, heading back home.

In the interim, Akshu offers a heartfelt prayer for the well-being of her family. Abhi arrives home, where he encounters Manjiri in a distressed state. Overcome with emotion, he turns to Aarohi to inquire about Manjiri's condition. Aarohi assures him that everything is now under control, having administered the necessary medical treatment. Suwarna suggests that it's time for them to leave, and they all depart in a somber manner.

Meanwhile, Surekha asserts that Abhi won't return home that night, opting to stay with Manjiri instead. Manish urges her to consider her words carefully.

Just as Manjiri regains consciousness, she spots Abhi, who gently asks about her well-being.

Akshu emphasizes that if Abhi does choose to leave his mother's side and return, they should respect his decision. Surekha questions whether Manjiri is simply fulfilling her motherly duty or if she's going to great lengths to ensure Abhi remains with her. Manish probes further, seeking clarification on Surekha's insinuations.Akshu defends Manjiri, explaining that her actions were a result of stress rather than a calculated ploy to reunite with Abhi.

Akshu recognizes the futility of such desperate actions, stating that Manjiri knows that suicide cannot be the solution to any problem at hand. In response, Surekha suggests that Manjiri may have indeed found a solution, one that has brought Abhi back to her, leaving Akshu in solitude.Abhi takes it upon himself to care for Manjiri, attentively feeding her soup and ensuring she takes her prescribed medication. A smile graces Manjiri's face, her appreciation evident. Aarohi discreetly observes the scene before quietly excusing herself.
