In the latest episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Abhira and Armaan find themselves locked in a heated debate over Meher's sensitive case. Abhira brings a video to Armaan, hoping he will watch it. Armaan firmly refuses. He states he does not want to see someone forcing themselves on Meher.
Abhira Pushes for the Truth
Abhira insists they must watch the video and listen to the audio evidence. After the audio plays, the couple has a sudden realization. Armaan immediately claims that Anita has been lying. He argues that Anita took advantage of Abhira's trusting nature to twist the facts.
Abhira strongly disagrees. She says Anita would not lie about something so serious and then leave her own daughter in Abhira's care. This leads to a deeper conflict. Abhira tells Armaan he does not trust her judgment. She makes him promise to let her continue the investigation, no matter what happens.
Meher Signs the Case Papers
Mittal visits the house to discuss the case with Armaan. He expresses deep sorrow for all the trouble caused. Mittal announces that Meher has signed the necessary papers. This action shocks both Armaan and Abhira. It means her murder case can now be officially reopened.
Mittal also brings a gift for Vani. He apologizes for ruining Maira's birthday party and creating family drama over the case. As Abhira prepares to leave, Armaan accepts the gift. He says he will give it to Vani personally.
Abhira's Difficult Choice
Vani tells Abhira she is not feeling well. Abhira gives her full attention and care. Seeing this, Maira becomes jealous. She lies and says she also wants her mother because she feels unwell. Abhira struggles to choose between the two girls. She tries to care for them both at the same time.
Maira then confronts her mother about recent events. She accuses Abhira of leaving her alone during the Makar Sankranti festivities. Maira asks what could possibly be more important than her own daughter.
Armaan Steps In
Armaan learns about the situation. He asks Abhira to stay with Maira because of her stomachache. When Abhira explains that Vani has a high fever, Armaan tells her to go check on Vani. He says he will stay with their daughter Maira himself.
Kaveri and Vidya Intervene
Both Kaveri and Vidya feel upset seeing Armaan and Abhira divided between Vani and Maira. As Abhira cooks something for the girls in the kitchen, the two women confront her. They ask Abhira to withdraw the case. They point out how it is tearing their family apart.
Abhira refuses to back down. She says the truth must be revealed and justice must be served. When she asks for their support in taking care of Vani and Maira, they refuse. They worry Maira will feel betrayed. Abhira decides she will take care of both girls on her own.
The Episode Concludes
The episode ends with Armaan insisting he tell a story to help Maira sleep. Maira completely refuses his offer. However, she agrees immediately when Abhira returns and offers to tell the story instead.
