In tonight’s episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Abhira and Armaan locked in a heated argument on Abhir’s decision to file for divorce from Kiara. Abhira, firm in her belief, supports Abhir’s choice, thinking it’s what’s best for him. She believes the divorce is a necessary step for Abhir’s happiness. On the other hand, Armaan strongly disagrees, defending Kiara’s position and insisting that Abhir’s decision to marry her wasn’t something to walk away from easily. He expresses how much Kiara has been through, questioning whether Abhir should just give up on his marriage like this.
As the argument intensifies, Charu steps in with a shocking revelation. She reveals that on her wedding day, she had been blackmailed by Sanjay, an incident that had left her emotionally drained. However, before Abhira can provide her reasoning and perspective to Armaan, Kaveri intervenes. Kaveri, insists that Abhir and Kiara must remain together, disregarding Abhira’s opinion altogether. Her unrelenting position only serves to further escalate the tension within the household.
In the midst of this emotional turmoil, Ruhi quietly battles her inner turmoil. She feels the weight of the growing rift between Armaan and Abhira, a rift she believes is partially caused by her own feelings for Armaan. Guilt washes over her, and she begins to fear that her emotions might drive an irreversible wedge between them. Overwhelmed by the situation, Ruhi quietly retreats to the bathroom, hoping to gather herself. However, in her distracted state, she slips in the shower. Just in time, Abhira rushes in, catching her before any harm can come her way. Ruhi, tearfully apologizing, expresses her fear. She believes that her feelings for Armaan may be the cause of the tension, and she is afraid of damaging their already fragile relationship.
Abhira reassures her gently, offering her comfort. She tells Ruhi that everything will be fine, and assures her that no harm will come to their bond with Armaan. Abhira’s calming words seem to ease Ruhi’s worry, and the moment of emotional support helps shift the focus away from the tension for a while.
Later, Charu, still upset and frustrated by the household’s inability to listen to her, decides to leave for the office. As she steps outside, Sanjay intercepts her and accuses her of meeting Abhir. Charu denies the claim. She stands firm and explains that she’s simply leaving for work because no one at home is willing to hear her out.
Just as Charu prepares to leave, her phone rings. It’s Kiara calling her. Kiara’s voice is stern and clear as she tells Charu that she must stay away from Abhir. She advises Charu to cut off all contact with him, blocking him from all platforms to help Abhir focus on his future without any distractions. Kiara’s words sting, leaving Charu feeling heartbroken. She hangs up the call, her thoughts heavy with the weight of Kiara’s request. Charu, still reeling from the conversation, leaves the house in silence. She’s accompanied by Krish, but the turmoil within her heart is evident.
With a quiet resolve, Charu heads to her office, her mind overwhelmed with conflicting emotions.
