On August 26, 2024, the episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai unfolds with intense drama revolving around Ruhi, Arman, and Abhira. The day begins with Ruhi stumbling upon the idea that Rohit is booking a honeymoon package for Arman and Abhira. This realization shocks her, leading to an emotional confrontation.
Ruhi, feeling betrayed and upset, lashes out at Arman, accusing him of showing fake concern for her well-being. Arman, trying to maintain peace, urges Ruhi to move on from past grievances. However, Ruhi, deeply hurt, sarcastically suggests that Arman should go ahead with his plans with Abhira. She goes as far as to ask Arman to choose a destination for his honeymoon, trying to mask her pain with bitterness.
Abhira, sensing the tension, steps in to assert that she and Arman have decided to go to Scotland for their honeymoon. This only fuels Ruhi’s anger further. Rohit, on the other hand, tries to mediate, encouraging Arman to focus on his upcoming wedding rather than past misunderstandings. Arman, feeling guilty, expresses his desire to mend his relationship with Rohit, but Rohit remains unforgiving, leaving Arman in a difficult position.
Ruhi, feeling cornered, tells Abhira to stop interfering in her matters. Abhira, however, firmly stands her ground, stating that Arman had discussed everything with her and that Ruhi needs to accept this reality. She demands respect from Ruhi and urges her to start behaving appropriately with both her and Arman. Abhira’s sternness shocks Ruhi, making her realize that things are changing rapidly, and she might be losing her influence over Arman.
Amidst the tension, Arman attempts to lighten the mood by demanding a kiss from Abhira, leading to a playful yet awkward moment. Abhira, reflecting on the situation, thinks about how much Kaveri is spending on the wedding and starts to miss her mother, Akshara. She contemplates contributing to the wedding expenses, feeling the weight of her responsibilities.
Meanwhile, Sanjay, another character intertwined in this web of relationships, wishes for a simple runaway wedding for Arman and Abhira. He hopes that Abhira will help Arman regain his position in the firm, showing his concern for Arman’s future. On the other side, Kaveri, who is deeply involved in the wedding preparations, plans to have gold-plated wedding cards made. Ruhi, already disturbed by the day’s events, questions Kaveri about the extravagant spending, indicating her unease with the situation.
Kaveri dismisses Ruhi’s concerns, asking her to focus on the wedding preparations instead. She instructs Ruhi to write Arman and Abhira’s names on the wedding card, which feels like a cruel irony to Ruhi, who is secretly plotting to separate the couple. Ruhi, unable to cope with the pressure, asks Kajal if she knows about Abhira’s parents, hinting at her desperate need for some form of solace or understanding.
As the day progresses, Manish, another key figure, calls Abhira, who is still mourning the absence of her mother, Akshara. Manish, sensing her sadness, decides to support her in every way possible. He even finds a way to connect with Akshara by discovering something of hers that he decides to gift to Abhira, hoping it will bring her comfort.
However, the day doesn’t end on a peaceful note. Ruhi, still fuming, taunts Abhira about the gold-plated wedding cards, trying to provoke her. Abhira, determined to stay calm, decides to discuss the wedding expenses with Arman and Kaveri, showing her willingness to take responsibility and contribute.
The episode ends with a preview of what’s to come. Abhira sings a song that her mother, Akshara, used to sing, which catches everyone by surprise, especially Manish. Ruhi, who witnesses this moment, is left stunned, unable to comprehend the depth of the bond between Abhira and Akshara, which she never fully understood. This moment of vulnerability adds another layer of complexity to the relationships, setting the stage for future confrontations.
The episode is filled with emotions running high, misunderstandings, and the struggle for control and respect within relationships. As each character navigates their own battles, the tension builds, leaving viewers eager to see how these conflicts will be resolved in the coming episodes.
