Abhira's attempt to EXPOSE Vidya falls flat in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai

Tonight's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai episode begins with Abhira making a firm decision to concentrate only on Maira’s case, choosing to put everything else aside. She reaches out to Armaan and asks him to meet her at the hostel. 

Once they connect, Abhira shares an important detail with him—Koyal was present at the time of the incident. She insists that they speak outside the hostel premises. Before stepping out, Abhira asks Mukti to close the door. Mukti feels touched seeing that Abhira still cares for her despite being occupied, and she decides to visit the hostel herself to gather information about Koyal.

Meanwhile, tensions rise at the Poddar house as Manisha gets into a heated argument with Vidya. Manisha defends her decision to invite Abhira to stay with them, pointing out that Abhira is still committed to Maira’s case even while being injured. Vidya, however, continues to oppose both Abhira and Mukti. Kaveri steps in and criticizes Vidya for her constant negativity. Vidya grows irritated at the mere mention of Abhira’s name. Tanya supports Abhira, which further angers Vidya. She reminds Tanya that she belongs to the Bansal family and has no right to interfere in Poddar family matters. Vidya goes on to insult Tanya and her family, leaving Kajal shocked. She also accuses Abhira of abandoning Armaan and Maira eight years ago, claiming she has no place in their lives now. Kajal silently recalls the truth, while Tanya is deeply hurt by the accusations.

On the other hand, Mukti reaches the hostel and tries to find Koyal. The girls there avoid helping her, but she approaches Shruti, mentioning that she is Maira’s friend, and requests assistance. Mukti eventually learns that Koyal lives with her uncle, whose house is located near a well-known sweet shop.

Back at the Poddar house, Kajal confronts Vidya and asks her to stop insulting Tanya. Vidya refuses and instead tells Kajal to keep Tanya away from her matters. Kajal hints that Vidya is scared the truth might come out, but Vidya denies having any fear. At that moment, Abhira arrives at the house and overhears a shocking conversation. Kajal questions Vidya about separating Abhira and Armaan eight years ago. Abhira is stunned to learn that Vidya had sent Maira’s custody papers in a way that created misunderstandings, dragging Armaan into the situation. She also discovers that Vidya and Kajal had agreed to hide this truth from Armaan. Determined, Abhira decides to confront Vidya, but before she can do so, Armaan pulls her aside.

Vidya and Kajal sense that someone might have overheard them, but when no one confronts them, they assume their secret is still safe and decide to keep it hidden. Abhira, however, is left shaken after uncovering the truth. She attempts to tell Armaan everything, but he urges her to stay focused on Maira’s case. He informs her that Mukti has found Koyal’s address and stresses that they must reach her before Mittal does.

Abhira and Armaan go to meet Koyal’s uncle, only to discover that he is a wrestler. He refuses to allow them to meet Koyal. Just then, they spot Mittal nearby. In a bold move, Armaan challenges the wrestler to a fight, proposing that if he wins, they should be allowed to meet Koyal. The uncle accepts the challenge, setting the stage for a tense confrontation.

In the precap, Mittal’s lawyer claims that there is no proof or witness to establish Maira’s innocence. Abhira confidently tells the court that Armaan will arrive with the required evidence. However, the judge states that they cannot delay the verdict any longer. At that critical moment, Armaan finally reaches the court, looking devastated.
