Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Ruhi gets uncomfortable upon hearing of Armaan & Abhira's 'COMPLETE FAMILY'

The episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai tonight begins with Vidya asking Arman about his delay, and he tells her he had dropped by his travel agency, especially since Krish recently joined the team. He checks in to see if anything important happened in his absence. Vidya fills him in about the disagreement between Kaveri and Abhira.

Meanwhile, Abhir questions Charu about Samrat and Kiara. Charu casually tells him that Kiara is spending time with Samrat because he’s moving away soon. Abhir thanks her and moves on, unaware of what Charu is hiding—she knows Kiara actually has a crush on Samrat. Charu fears that if Abhir finds out, he might get overly possessive, which she’s not ready to deal with. Deep down, she feels Samrat is perfect for Kiara, while she dreams of building a happy future with Abhir herself.

Arman tries to comfort Abhira, suggesting she ignore what Kaveri said. But Abhira admits that Kaveri may have a point—she doesn’t feel a bond with Pookie and agrees with her judgment. Arman lightens the mood by clicking Abhira’s photo for Pookie, which cheers her up. On the other side, Kiara chats with Samrat secretly. When Abhir asks her who she’s talking to, she lies. Suspicious, Abhir decides to sleep near her to keep a watch.

Ruhi plays with Daksh but is lost in thought, unsure about what lies ahead with him. She even wonders if she’ll have to raise Abhira’s baby. Still, when Arman steps in to help with Daksh, she sees a glimpse of a complete, secure family with him. Arman reassures her, telling her to reach out whenever she needs help. Manish brings up plans for celebrating Sita Navami, and Kiara seems enthusiastic. Swarna, Surekha, and Manish encourage Kiara and Abhir to observe the fast and prepare together. Kiara senses they’re trying to bring her and Abhir closer. When Abhir suggests she prepare on her own, she feels hurt.

Later, Arman offers coffee to Abhira and playfully jokes about her trying to experience pregnancy. Abhira says she wants to support Ruhi through hers. She helps Arman get dressed for work, and Ruhi notices them together. As Abhira and Arman share a moment, Daksh interrupts them. Ruhi begins to wonder if Kaveri’s doubts about their closeness were valid. Abhira then decides to take Ruhi to the Goenka home. Vidya and Manisha talk about how well Abhira and Arman are caring for Daksh. Both women get excited when the topic shifts to Pookie. Vidya even calls Abhira and Arman a picture-perfect family—words that Ruhi overhears, and they sting.

Later, Manish and Kiara invite the Poddars to the upcoming Sita Navami celebration. Abhira agrees to join in. However, Kaveri, lost in thoughts of Rohit, politely declines the invite.
