In today’s episode of “Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai,” the drama thickens as Abhira and Arman face mounting tensions and emotions. The episode, aired on August 17, 2024, kicks off with Kaveri expressing her frustration about the impulsiveness of the younger generation. She remarks that today’s kids lack self-control, specifically pointing out Abhira and Arman, who seem eager to be together before marriage. This comment opens the door for Ruhi to instigate Kaveri further against Abhira.
Ruhi, always with an agenda of her own, subtly suggests to Kaveri that Abhira’s name should be changed for the sake of the family’s honor. Ruhi manipulates the situation by implying that Abhira’s love for Arman would make her easily agree to a name change. She cleverly plants the idea in Kaveri’s mind, hoping that this demand will create conflict between Abhira and Kaveri.
Meanwhile, preparations for the upcoming wedding are in full swing. Krish takes charge of choreographing a dance for Arman and Abhira’s sangeet ceremony. However, things don’t go smoothly as Aryan forgets his dance steps, causing a minor disruption. To ensure the performance goes off without a hitch, Krish decides to give Arman some extra dance lessons. Arman, with a playful spirit, insists that he already knows the Naagin dance, which adds a light-hearted moment to the preparations.
Abhira, on the other hand, is eagerly anticipating seeing Arman. However, Ruhi is not pleased when she sees Arman, her feelings of jealousy and resentment bubbling to the surface. In an attempt to divert attention, Arman invites Rohit to join him in a dance. Rohit obliges, and the two share a joyful moment. Arman then thanks Rohit for planning the wedding with Abhira, but Rohit reveals that he was actually planning it for himself, leaving Arman amused. As the dance preparations continue, Manisha urges Aryan to keep practicing his steps, determined to ensure everything is perfect.
