In the August 20, 2024 episode of “Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai,” the tension builds as the characters face emotional and practical challenges leading up to the wedding. The episode begins with Vidya, one of the key characters, asking Abhira to write Arman’s name on a leaf as part of a ritual to invite divine blessings for their wedding. Abhira, however, feels a sense of guilt and apologizes to Vidya for the recent drama. Vidya, understanding the situation, chooses to respect Abhira’s decisions, showing her support in a quiet but significant way.
The atmosphere turns tense when Kaveri confronts Abhira about how she plans to be a good daughter-in-law. Kaveri, a strong and traditional figure, questions Abhira about her behavior, particularly the incident where Abhira argued in front of a guest. Abhira stands firm, defending her decisions and trying to explain her side. Kaveri, however, challenges her further, asking if she is capable of holding the family together, which is a crucial role for a daughter-in-law in their household. Despite the tension, Kaveri ultimately entrusts Abhira with the responsibility that comes with being Arman’s wife, indicating that she still expects Abhira to fulfill her duties.
Later, Kajal and Manisha, other members of the family, ask Abhira to try on a ring, which is part of the wedding preparations. Abhira hesitates, feeling uncomfortable with the idea, as she believes the ring is too expensive. Manisha, noticing her reluctance, reassures her not to worry about the cost. With some encouragement, Abhira tries on the ring, but her discomfort is evident. Kajal uses this moment to tell Abhira that she should fit into the family as seamlessly as the ring fits on her finger.
This comment only adds to Abhira’s unease, making her even more anxious. Manisha then tells Abhira that she will be adorned with various ornaments, further adding to the pressure. When Manisha asks her to keep Arman’s ring safe, Abhira’s anxiety peaks. She becomes increasingly restless, feeling the weight of the responsibility she’s been given.

Kaveri, observing Abhira’s nervousness, becomes concerned. She believes Abhira is showing signs of weakness, which worries her about Abhira’s ability to handle the responsibilities of being Arman’s wife. Kaveri decides that she needs to step in and help Abhira adjust to her new life and responsibilities within the family.
As the day progresses, Abhira’s anxiety doesn’t subside. Arman notices something is off and confronts her about not informing him of a name-changing condition that was apparently part of their marriage discussions. Abhira, still overwhelmed, avoids the topic and instead asks Arman to take back his ring. Arman, however, gently encourages her to keep the ring, insisting that she must protect it.
This conversation only increases Abhira’s stress, as she begins to worry that if anything happens to the ring, she could lose the trust of Arman, Vidya, and Kaveri. When she learns that the ring is worth a crore, her anxiety reaches its peak. Despite Arman’s attempts to reassure her and lighten the mood with some romantic gestures, Abhira is fixated on the ring’s safety, thinking she just needs to keep it safe for one night. She tries to convince herself that it will be easy, but the mounting pressure is evident.
Meanwhile, Ruhi, another character with a mischievous streak, believes that Anupama ruined the chance for any drama and is disappointed. She was expecting something to go wrong and now sees the upcoming wedding as another opportunity to create trouble for Abhira. When Rohit, another family member, praises Abhira, Ruhi snidely comments that Abhira would have been perfect if she had just followed Kaveri’s suggestion to change her name. This remark prompts Rohit to question Ruhi’s old-fashioned thinking, making Ruhi realize that Rohit might be more supportive of Abhira than she had thought.
As the episode progresses, Abhira resolves to take care of the ring, fully aware of its immense value. Unbeknownst to her, two thieves have set their sights on stealing the ring. In an effort to protect it, Abhira decides to stay awake the entire night. She carefully hides the ring in a container of rice, hoping it will remain safe. Despite her efforts, the anxiety about the ring’s value keeps her on edge.
