Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Ruhi returns to Rohit after Kaveri's insistence

In tonight's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai episode, Kaveri attempts to persuade Ruhi (Garvita Sadhwani) to return home. Ruhi expresses her doubts, noting that it will be challenging to live under the same roof after everything that has happened. Kaveri insists that Ruhi should come back. 

Meanwhile, Rohit (Romit Raj) tells Abhira (Samridhii Shukla) that while she might consider giving Armaan (Rohit Purohit) a second chance, he cannot do the same. Abhira argues that Rohit is ignoring the rest of the Poddar family and tries to change his mind. Elsewhere, Manish advises Kaveri against pressuring Ruhi. Kaveri counters, asking Manish not to hinder Ruhi and Rohit's potential reunion. 

Manish explains that Ruhi is making progress and cannot be sent back to the Poddar house at this time. Kaveri then pleads with Swarna to let go of Ruhi. Manish tells Kaveri to leave, and Kaveri tells Ruhi that Rohit needs her and demands her return to the Poddar house, leaving Ruhi in shock.

Abhira takes a stand for Armaan:

Abhira tells Rohit to leave, and Rohit insists he won't punish the entire family for Armaan's actions. This makes Abhira happy. Armaan decides to wait for Rohit's forgiveness despite Rohit's insistence on no longer considering him a brother. Armaan grows anxious and asks Kaveri to persuade Rohit. Kaveri agrees that Rohit is right, acknowledging the damage Armaan has caused. Armaan admits his mistakes, and Abhira defends him, saying that everyone makes mistakes, but Armaan's intentions were good. She urges Rohit to consider Armaan's perspective. Rohit questions Abhira's happiness with this situation.

Abhira asks Vidya to help Rohit understand, but Vidya declines. Abhira insists that Vidya cannot remain silent during this critical time. Vidya reflects on Kaveri's manipulations. Kaveri asserts that Vidya will stay quiet. Abhira argues that Vidya's silence is unacceptable, given Rohit's refusal to acknowledge Armaan as his brother.

Rohit and Ruhi's dinner date:

Armaan pleads with Abhira not to force Rohit. He emphasises that he always thought about Rohit's happiness. Rohit then loses consciousness, and Ruhi aids him. Kaveri interprets Ruhi's assistance as a sign of her agreement to return. Rohit asks Ruhi if she missed him. Armaan pulls Abhira aside, where she comforts him, and he laments his role in Rohit's condition. 

Later, Rohit arranges a romantic dinner date with Ruhi. He confronts her, but Ruhi asks him to talk when he's ready for a mature discussion and tries to leave. Rohit stops her and agrees to discuss things with her, asking where they should start—whether they should begin with how she fell in love with him and married him.
