Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Ruhi breaks up Abhira & Armaan’s dance by hugging Rohit, interrupting their moment

In tonight's episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Rohit (Romit Raj) asks about their plan for joining the Mangla Gauri veneration, while Krish reveals that Armaan (Rohit Purohit) has a strategy in mind. Anuradha inquires of Kaveri whether Abhira (Samridhii Shukla) and Armaan are planning to get married, to which Kaveri responds that nothing has been finalized. Manisha advises Abhira to pray sincerely, hoping for her union with Armaan. Armaan suggests Madhav wear a lehenga, leading to Madhav's playful teasing of Armaan. Sanjay is reluctant to don the lehenga and decides to call Kajal, while Krish encourages Sanjay to support their efforts.

Ruhi interrupts the dance between Abhira and Armaan:

Abhira, Kaveri, Vidya, and others engage in a game, during which Armaan makes comments about Madhav and Krish's height. Abhira emerges victorious in the balance game, earning praise from Anuradha, who compares her to a young Kaveri. Abhira initially refuses to stay but is convinced by her friend to remain. Disguised as women, Armaan, Madhav, Manoj, Sanjay, and Rohit join the veneration. Abhira becomes suspicious of Armaan and teases him to reveal the truth. Abhira's plan succeeds, and the men's disguise is exposed. Kaveri questions Armaan about his actions, to which he explains that Madhav, Manoj, and Sanjay missed their wives, and he missed Abhira.

Abhira laughs at Armaan's female disguise and asks him to keep it on longer, much to his annoyance. Madhav explains to Vidya that they included Rohit to keep him entertained, and Vidya mentions Ruhi. Anuradha invites the ladies to recite a poem for their partners. Vidya recites for Madhav, followed by Manisha and Kajal. When Abhira's friend urges her to say something for Armaan, Abhira declines, saying she is not a poet, which upsets Armaan. Eventually, Abhira impresses him, and they dance together. Madhav persuades Kaveri to accept Abhira, warning that Abhira might distance Armaan from the family if she does not. Despite Madhav and Vidya's efforts, Kaveri remains hesitant. Sanjay, meanwhile, hopes that the rift between Armaan and Rohit continues, as it serves his interests. Ruhi disrupts the dance between Abhira and Armaan by stepping between them and hugging Rohit, leaving Abhira stunned by her unexpected return.
