Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Ruhi claims Abhira's infertility as punishment for Akshara's actions

In tonight's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai episode, Abhira questions Manish about why Akshara left the house. Manish tries to offer an explanation, but Ruhi interrupts the conversation. Ruhi accuses Manish of welcoming Abhira back. Manish questions Ruhi about why she's blaming Abhira. Ruhi reveals that ever since Akshara got pregnant, their family has been falling apart. Abhira steps in, trying to defend Akshara.

Ruhi then confronts Manish about giving half of the family property to Abhira. She suggests that Manish should transfer the entire property to Abhira, as she only needs her upcoming child and nothing more. Ruhi cruelly claims that Abhira is unable to become a mother because it's a punishment for Akshara's actions.

Kaveri breaks down:

Armaan waits for Abhira, who is deeply hurt and devastated. He offers his support to Abhira. Ruhi, on the other hand, reflects on her feelings for Abhira. Armaan encourages Ruhi to speak with Abhira, but Vidya believes Ruhi won't do it. Madhav steps in, asking Vidya to stop causing division in the family. A heated argument ensues between Madhav and Vidya. Armaan tries to mediate, urging them to stop fighting over him, and later regrets discussing Ruhi with them.

Kaveri, emotionally shattered, breaks down. Manoj and Manisha try to comfort her. Kaveri feels her family is falling apart. Sanjay, thinking practically, reminds Kaveri to focus on managing the firm and mentions a pending case. Sanjay questions who will handle the case, considering Armaan's busy schedule. Manisha suggests Manoj should step up, but Kaveri unexpectedly decides that Abhira should take on the case. Armaan doubts Abhira's ability, questioning how she could handle a case when she struggles to speak properly. However, Kaveri stands firm in her decision.

Abhira resolves to go to court:

Elsewhere, Charu and Krish discuss heading back to work. Kajal brings up the topic of Charu's marriage. Charu eventually agrees to get married, but Kajal warns Charu not to mention it to Armaan and Abhira. When asked why, Kajal explains that she believes Armaan and Abhira only create problems, so it's better if they remain uninformed about the wedding.

Back at the firm, Kaveri encourages Abhira to stand up for her rights and take on the case. Armaan tells Abhira that if she doesn't want to proceed with the case, she should simply quit.

Sanjay, baffled by Kaveri's choice, asks Rohit why Abhira was chosen to handle the case when he was available. Kaveri responds by asserting that she runs the firm and can make decisions as she sees fit. Vidya believes Kaveri is making poor decisions lately, while Sanjay insists that Abhira won't go to court. However, Kaveri remains convinced that Abhira will take the case. Ruhi mocks Abhira, claiming that she, like Akshara, always avoids facing challenges. Despite this, Abhira resolves to go to court and take on the case.
