The episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai 4 September 2024, begins with a tense and emotional moment for Abhira. She has just learned that Kaveri, a key member of the Poddar family, wants the custody of her baby if she and Arman ever get separated. This revelation shakes Abhira to her core, making her question the intentions of the Poddars, especially since Kaveri is pushing a third clause that would prevent Abhira from leaving Arman easily. The seriousness of the situation escalates as Abhira realizes how this clause is designed to tie her down.
As the day goes on, Abhira gets more and more upset with the Poddars. She feels that her self-respect has been trampled upon by their actions. When Arman comes to meet her, she is unable to hide her anger. She confronts Arman, accusing the Poddars of wanting to reduce her to a mere housewife, stripping her of her identity and dreams. The situation becomes more heated when Arman tries to defend Kaveri, insisting that the contract might be flawed, but Abhira has no right to blame his entire family. He argues that the Poddars love her, and this contract is not a reflection of their affection but rather a misunderstanding.
Abhira, however, refuses to see it that way. She sarcastically remarks that if the Poddars truly loved her, they wouldn’t have allowed Kaveri to introduce such a demeaning contract. She tells Arman that she values her self-respect and will not compromise it for the sake of the marriage. This confrontation marks a significant crack in their relationship, as Abhira feels increasingly alienated from the Poddars and, by extension, from Arman himself.
Meanwhile, Ruhi, who has been silently observing the ongoing tension, is torn. She doesn’t want to see Arman hurt, but she feels helpless in the situation. She knows that the contract is wrong and wants to support Abhira, but her loyalty to the Poddars complicates things. Ruhi decides to intervene, advising Arman to calm down and talk to Abhira later, once both have had time to cool off. However, Arman, frustrated and overwhelmed, snaps at Ruhi, telling her that he doesn’t need her advice when it comes to dealing with Abhira.
Ruhi’s concern for Arman doesn’t go unnoticed. Rohit, another character involved in the story, sees Ruhi trying to help and questions her about it. Ruhi explains that she owes Arman for the help he gave her in the past and is simply trying to return the favor. Rohit, noticing that Arman is physically hurt, suggests that he should bandage his wound and take care of himself before dealing with the situation further. However, Arman is too upset to listen and asks to be left alone.
As Arman and Ruhi deal with their emotions, Abhira is left alone with her thoughts. She is deeply troubled by the contract and what it represents. The idea that her love for Arman might diminish because of the Poddars’ actions weighs heavily on her mind. Abhira feels cornered, especially when Kaveri confronts her again, demanding that she sign the contract or risk losing Kaveri as the guarantor for their loan. This moment reveals Kaveri’s true intentions—to manipulate and control Abhira’s decisions.
Abhira is hurt but not entirely surprised, as she realizes that Kaveri has been planning this all along. Ruhi, in an attempt to support Abhira, tells her not to sacrifice her dreams for the sake of marriage. Abhira, however, is confused by Ruhi’s sudden concern, asking why she cares. Ruhi responds that she understands Abhira’s situation better now that she has started working herself.
The episode reaches its climax as Arman, still upset, tries to console Abhira. However, Abhira’s frustration spills over, and she speaks harshly to him, further straining their relationship. Arman regrets bringing up the contract, realizing that it has only widened the rift between them. Abhira’s harsh words push Arman to leave in anger, and as he storms out, a tragic accident occurs. Arman is involved in an accident, leaving Abhira shocked and filled with regret. She tries to stop him, but it’s too late—the damage has been done.
Precap: Manisha makes a shocking discovery. She discovers that Abhira is Akshara’s daughter, and she is shocked when she sees a picture of Akshara and Abhinav This revelation is bound to have significant consequences in the coming episodes, adding another layer of complexity to the already tangled relationships.
