The popular television drama 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai' has delivered a pivotal and heart-wrenching episode, marking a crucial turning point in the narrative. The plot thickens as Abhira finally uncovers the devastating truth behind the case involving Meher and her alleged victim, leading to a confession soaked in tragedy.
The Fatal Confession: Anita's Last Words
The episode opens with Abhira rushing to the home of Anita, the wife of the driver who was killed in the incident for which Meher is implicated. Fearing the worst, Abhira initially suspects that Anita has poisoned Armaan as an act of revenge. However, she soon realizes the juice was harmless. The real horror unfolds when Anita herself consumes poison, deciding to end her life after sharing her harrowing story with Abhira.
With time running out, Anita reveals that Meher's claim of self-defence is a complete lie. Her husband was not harassing Meher. Instead, he was murdered because of her. Anita provides a chilling account, stating she was on the phone with her husband during the fatal moment and heard everything firsthand.
The Flashback: Meher's Deadly Anger
A crucial flashback sequence sheds light on the tragic event. It shows Meher and Abhira in a competition, which Meher loses. Consumed by rage, Meher storms to her car and insists on driving. Her driver, Anita's husband, had specific instructions from Meher's father to not let her drive when she was in such an emotional state.
As he tried to calm her and prevent her from taking the wheel, a furious Meher struck him with a bottle. This single act of uncontrolled anger led to his untimely death, shattering Anita's world. This revelation leaves Abhira utterly heartbroken and forces her to confront the reality that Armaan might have made a catastrophic error in defending Meher.
Promises and New Threats
In her final moments, Anita extracts a solemn promise from Abhira. She begs her to take care of her young daughter, Vani, as if she were her own. When Abhira questions why Anita never came forward with the truth in court, the answer is terrifying. Anita confesses she feared that if she spoke up, Meher's powerful father would have ensured both she and her daughter were killed.
With her dying breath, Anita urges Abhira to fight for justice and bring the real story to light. Meanwhile, in a parallel track, Meher confides in her father at a success party, admitting she has developed feelings for Armaan. Her father, however, cautions her, explaining his strategic reasons for choosing Armaan as her lawyer and warning her not to jeopardize the future he has secured for her by winning the case.
Meher insists Armaan is different—he won't be a puppet to their tactics and won't always be there to save her. This sets the stage for a complex conflict where personal emotions clash with legal secrets and a desperate quest for justice initiated by Abhira's promise to a dead woman.
