In tonight’s episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Vidya expresses her longing to meet Armaan, but Kaveri harshly refuses. She reminds Vidya of the pain Armaan caused by walking away seven years ago, asserting that he no longer deserves to be considered a good son. As Armaan attempts to explain his side, Kaveri cuts him off, accusing him of leaving behind a shattered mother, a heartbroken wife, and a daughter who forgot how to smile. She firmly tells him to leave and stops Vidya from meeting him.
Just as Armaan is about to leave, Abhira intervenes and pleads with Kaveri to let Vidya see her son. Kaveri is taken aback and questions Abhira’s loyalty, asking how she can stand up for the man who caused her so much pain. Abhira calmly replies that Armaan is Vidya’s son, and she can’t see a mother getting separated from her child. Her words strike a chord with Armaan and tears well up in his eyes as he recalls the times he himself had kept Abhira away from Pookie.
Vidya finally calls out to Armaan, expressing how she had yearned for his presence all these years. Overwhelmed with emotion, Armaan falls at her feet, and the two share a deeply emotional moment, eventually breaking down in each other’s arms. Vidya confronts him about his absence, questioning why he never looked back or returned. Armaan doesn’t give a direct answer, instead asking if she is now willing to undergo the surgery. His question brings a sense of relief to everyone, especially Abhira. Armaan seeks blessings from Kajal, Manoj, and Manisha by touching their feet.
Elsewhere, Abhira feels emotionally unsettled by Armaan’s presence. She battles with her thoughts and convinces herself to treat him like a stranger, just as he did when he walked away from her life years ago.
Meanwhile, Sanjay becomes suspicious and questions Kajal, Manoj, and Manisha about where they had gone. Manisha blurts out that Armaan has returned, leaving Krish stunned. She then quickly changes her statement, claiming Vidya had said she wouldn’t proceed with her surgery unless Armaan was around. Manoj questions this sudden shift in her words. Manisha explains that Krish appeared insecure after hearing about Armaan’s return. She admits that she hopes Armaan and Abhira can find their way back to each other, but Manoj doubts whether Armaan deserves a second chance after abandoning Abhira.
Back at home, Vidya begins cooking for Armaan as a gesture of warmth. When Armaan tries to help Kaveri hold the heavy water buckets, she shuts him out completely, refusing to even acknowledge him. Meanwhile, Abhira accidentally overhears Armaan speaking to Geetanjali and Maira. He wonders why Abhira seems uninterested in knowing anything about his bond with Maira. However, Abhira completely ignores his presence.
Armaan grows curious about the tension between the Poddars and Bansals. When he tries to get answers, Kaveri curtly tells him he’s no longer part of their family. But Vidya insists he will always remain her son. Kaveri then admits that over the past seven years, Abhira has stood by them like a pillar of strength and expresses regret for once stopping her from being part of their lives. This revelation leaves Armaan disturbed. He desperately pleads with Kaveri to tell him the truth about why the family is no longer together, but she refuses to open up.
Abhira, too, is unable to shake off thoughts of Armaan. When Anshuman notices her restlessness, he tries to comfort her, but she distances herself from him. Anshuman silently worries that something is deeply hurting her.
Eventually, Armaan confronts Vidya and asks her to reveal what truly happened in these missing years. Vidya finally opens up, exposing that Sanjay and Krish tricked Kaveri into signing away the property and house documents. She explains that after Armaan left, everything began to fall apart. Abhira, devastated by the loss of both her husband and daughter, went into deep shock, while Kaveri withdrew into silence. Sensing an opportunity, Sanjay began taking advantage of the situation. He would occasionally present documents under the pretext of processing employee salaries, staff insurance papers, or implementing new HR policies, and slowly, both he and Krish collected Kaveri’s signatures.
Over time, and without her knowledge, Kaveri had unknowingly transferred all of the Poddar family’s shares and the house into the Bansal family’s name. The shocking truth came to light only three years later, when Abhira returned to the firm, by then, however, it was far too late. Sanjay had already claimed complete ownership of the Poddar house.
When Abhira publicly exposed the truth, revealing that both the Poddar firm and house were now under Sanjay’s control, the revelation stunned everyone. In response, Sanjay casually offered Kaveri a place to stay in his house, but Kaveri was left speechless by the audacity. Refusing to accept this, Abhira took Kaveri’s hand and urged her to walk away. Vidya, too, joined in solidarity, and the three women walked out together, leaving the house behind.
As Armaan listens to this heartbreaking account of everything that transpired in the seven years he was gone, he is stunned and shattered, struggling to come to terms with the depth of betrayal and the immense hardships faced by Vidya, Kaveri, and Abhira.
