Armaan finally confesses his love to Abhira in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai

Tonight's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai episode opens with Abhira lost in her thoughts, replaying Maira’s painful words where she made it clear that she cannot come back into their lives. On the other hand, Maira feels deeply hurt and convinces herself that Abhira no longer cares about them, believing there is no point in expecting her return. Armaan steps in, trying to support Abhira during this emotional moment. He gently asks if she went to Maira’s school to meet her, and Abhira silently nods, confirming it.

Meanwhile, Manisha is busy choosing an outfit for Aryan for the upcoming wedding functions. However, Aryan is not in the mood to focus on celebrations. He questions how Manisha can think about wedding preparations when both Abhira and Armaan are dealing with so much turmoil. He also points out that Vidya is already upset and doesn’t miss any chance to blame Abhira. Manisha, however, brushes off his concerns. Aryan then brings up Disha’s complicated family background, expressing his worries, but Manisha remains firm, telling him that he is marrying Disha, not her family.

Back with Abhira and Armaan, he reminds her that things won’t be easy for her moving forward. He asks her to come along as he heads home and tries to start the car. During this, Abhira firmly tells him that they need to end their act of pretending to be husband and wife.

At home, Vidya anxiously waits for Armaan and is concerned about Maira. At the same time, Manisha and Kajal are seen discussing the upcoming Gangaur festival preparations. Soon, Armaan and Abhira return, and Vidya immediately questions him about Maira. That’s when both Armaan and Abhira openly declare that they can no longer continue their fake relationship. Aryan steps in, trying to convince them otherwise, but Abhira explains that the truth cannot be hidden for long. Aryan then requests them to continue the act for just six more days. Initially, both refuse, but Manoj intervenes and urges them to maintain the facade at least until Gangaur, leaving the rest to fate. Eventually, Abhira and Armaan reluctantly agree.

Later, Aryan informs Disha about their decision to continue pretending until the festival. This leaves Disha worried, as she starts fearing that her marriage might be at risk. Determined to change things, Aryan and Disha plan to bring Abhira and Armaan closer emotionally. Around the same time, Tanya gives Abhira a special outfit for Gangaur, which brings back memories of her past.

In an attempt to create moments between them, Aryan makes sure Abhira notices that Armaan is adding too much ice to his drink. Shocked, Abhira quickly removes the ice. When Aryan questions her, she avoids answering. Later, Aryan, Armaan, and Krish sit together, reminiscing about their old group and the bond they once shared. Aryan then nudges Armaan to resolve his issues with Krish, but Krish claims everything is already fine. Aryan doesn’t believe him and also points out that Abhira still cares for Armaan, mentioning how she removed the ice from his drink. Armaan chooses to ignore this. Krish, however, questions Aryan’s intentions behind trying to reunite the two. Aryan simply says he wants to help, while Krish silently feels that Aryan is unaware of Meher’s growing interest in Armaan.

Elsewhere, Abhira refuses to wear an outfit that has Armaan’s name printed on it. To avoid any uncomfortable situation, she decides to hide the stole. Armaan, meanwhile, starts thinking that Abhira may have played a role in calming Maira down earlier and decides to talk to her about it. When he approaches her, he finds her in tears. Concerned, he asks if someone said anything to hurt her. Abhira, however, stops him, saying he no longer has the right to be part of her pain. Even when Armaan tries to offer her a tissue, she ignores him. This brings back old memories for Armaan, leaving him frustrated, while Abhira continues to cry.

As the Gangaur rituals begin, Manisha, Kajal, Tanya, and Vidya are seen applying mehendi. Vidya expresses doubt that Kaveri will participate in the ritual since Abhira is present. Surprisingly, Kaveri arrives and applies mehendi on Vidya’s and Manisha’s hands. Tanya then encourages Abhira to join, but Vidya dismisses the idea. Just then, Madhav steps forward and decides to apply mehendi on Abhira’s hands, making the moment emotional.

In the precap, during the Gangaur celebrations, a wardrobe nearly falls on Abhira, and Armaan panics, shouting at her for still worrying about him in such a situation. Abhira responds emotionally, saying it would have been better if something had happened, as it would have freed Armaan from her. Overwhelmed, Armaan finally confesses his love for Abhira.
