Poddar Family Crisis: Armaan Fights to Reclaim Firm, Abhira Steps Up as Leader
Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Poddar Family's Firm Sold

The Poddar household has been plunged into a deep crisis following a shocking revelation. Krish, a family member, dropped a bombshell by announcing he sold the prestigious Poddar family law firm and subsequently lost all the money from the sale. This devastating news has left the entire family struggling to come to terms with their drastically changed circumstances.

Abhira Takes Charge as Armaan Plots a Comeback

In the emotional episode aired on December 29, Armaan was seen reminiscing over the visiting cards from their lost firm, a moment filled with palpable sorrow. Determined to turn the tide, Armaan approached Abhira with a crucial plan. He convinced her to take on the mantle of leading and managing the distraught Poddar family while he dedicates himself entirely to the monumental task of reclaiming their business legacy.

Abhira, standing firmly by her partner's side, promised to do everything in her power to help. She readily agreed to shoulder the responsibility of handling the family's internal affairs. Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Kiara's attempts at normalcy by making halwa were harshly interrupted by Chachi, who taunted her by comparing her cooking unfavourably to Charu's. In a show of strength, Abhira instructed Manisha to shield Kiara from the full extent of the family's financial troubles.

The High-Stakes Bid and a Family's Sacrifice

Armaan's mission to regain control led him to negotiate directly with the new investors who now own the Poddar firm. The situation quickly intensified when Kajal entered the fray, placing a competitive bid capped at Rs 35 crore. However, the investors set a staggering price of Rs 85 crore for the buyback. Undeterred by the colossal sum, Armaan agreed but requested a three-month window to arrange the full payment.

Back at home, a powerful wave of solidarity swept through the family. Abhira initiated the effort by gathering all her personal jewellery to sell. Her act inspired others: Manisha and Vidya promptly offered their own ornaments, and Sanjay brought forth Kajal's accessories to contribute to the fund. Tanya also stepped forward to help. While Sanjay placed the blame squarely on Krish for the disaster, the collective action highlighted the family's unwavering unity in the face of adversity. Armaan, moved by their support, eventually accepted their precious contributions.

Danger and a Heartwarming Moment

The family's trials continued as Dadi Sa had a narrow escape, almost being hit by a car before being saved by her alert children. Later, a perceptive Armaan returned home and noticed the women were not wearing their customary gold jewellery. Abhira then presented him with the collected box of valuables—a tangible symbol of their collective sacrifice. After initial hesitation and heartfelt persuasion from his family, Armaan accepted the offering, sharing a tender and hopeful moment with everyone.

Preview: Mysterious Strangers and New Challenges

The upcoming episode promises more drama with the arrival of two enigmatic figures. A man reading a newspaper approaches Abhira and narrates a troubling story about a wealthy woman causing a poor man's demise. Simultaneously, Armaan is confronted by a desperate stranger holding a blank cheque, who pleads with him to help save his daughter. These mysterious encounters leave fans eagerly speculating about the new obstacles in store for Abhira and Armaan's journey.
