Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai continues to capture hearts with its emotional twists and complex relationships. Viewers have stayed glued to their screens ever since the recent leap. The makers have been serving high-voltage drama with every episode, and the latest track has left audiences eager for more.
After the time jump, the story takes a painful turn for Abhira and Armaan. Abhira lives with Vidya and Kaveri, while Armaan is raising his daughter, Pookie, lovingly called Maira. The couple’s past haunts them both, as they remain separated by circumstances and unresolved emotions. Abhira longs for her missing daughter.
In the current episode, fate plays its game. Abhira crosses paths with Maira, and a strange bond forms between them. Maira innocently calls Abhira ‘pari,’ leaving Abhira touched. The connection between them is instant. Abhira, unaware of the truth, feels drawn to the little girl. She finds herself falling in love with Maira, sensing a deep connection she can’t explain.
As the story unfolds, an unexpected call comes Abhira’s way. Maira’s father contacts her about a saree she had delivered. She’s asked to return it, and this leads to an unexpected encounter. Abhira finally comes face to face with Armaan. The moment is filled with shock and old wounds reopening. She soon discovers that Maira bought the saree for her mother. This revelation leaves Abhira stunned.
Seeing Armaan with Maira shakes her to the core. Abhira begins to suspect the truth that Maira might be her long-lost daughter. Overwhelmed by the possibility, she tries to reach out. But Armaan reacts with fear and denial. He cannot bear to let Abhira get close. His heart pounds with guilt as he lies, insisting that Maira is the daughter of Geetanjali and him.
Abhira is shattered by this claim. The thought that Armaan has moved on with another woman and built a life with a child crushes her. She struggles to process the sight of them together. Meanwhile, Armaan is battling his own demons. Though he denies it aloud, inside, he knows the truth. His conscience begins to torment him.
Maira, innocent and curious, asks questions about her mother. Every word from the little girl cuts deep. Armaan loses his temper, unable to answer. Later, his guilt consumes him. Alone, he breaks down. Holding Abhira’s old engagement ring, he remembers the days they spent together. The love, the promises, and the mistakes replay in his mind.
“Why did I let this happen?” he whispers, his eyes filled with regret. The burden of separating mother and daughter becomes too heavy to bear. He realises the depth of his error and mourns the life they could’ve had as a family.
The storyline now stands at a crucial point. Will Abhira uncover the truth about Maira? Can she forgive Armaan for hiding such a heartbreaking secret? Will their love find its way back for the sake of their daughter? Or will destiny pull them further apart?
Viewers are holding their breath for what’s next.
