Yeh Rista Kya Kehlata Hai airing on 8th September 2024

The episode begins with Abhira and Armaan joyfully dancing together. They share a fun moment by placing a cap on Dadi’s head. Dadi smiles and says, “You’re elder, so I expect you to bless me.” Everyone around them starts clapping. With curiosity, Dadi asks, “How did you manage to arrange the money?” Armaan jumps in and says, “It’s from a loan.” But Abhira quickly corrects him, saying, “No, my loan hasn’t been approved yet.” Dadi is still curious and asks again, “Then how did you get the money?”

Abhira, with a smile, explains, “I have my parents’ savings. Middle-class parents are always unique but in a sweet way. Dads wear the same old shoes to work, and moms reuse their sarees when they sit for prayers. They save every penny for their children’s future. My mom was also strange, but in an adorable way. Kipling uncle recently called me and shared that my mom used to invest money every month for my future, and today, I received those returns. I was feeling anxious about how things would turn out, but I realized I was never alone. My parents were always with me, guiding me. I’ve respected their legacy, and I’ve kept my promise to them.” Hearing this, everyone smiles warmly.

As the preparations continue, the family starts getting ready. Abhira compliments everyone on their looks. Vidya, noticing the decorations, says, “The décor looks wonderful.” Abhira responds confidently, “The event is a hit!” Vidya adds, “Manish ji called me, and he’s on his way.” Just then, Rohit steps in and asks Abhira, “Shall we start the ceremony now?” Abhira smiles and replies, “Hold on a second, let me first get my parents’ picture.” Armaan offers, “I’ll help you.” Their cousins start teasing them for their closeness. Both Abhira and Armaan bring the photo and place it lovingly at the ceremony.

Ruhi, who hasn’t noticed the picture yet, suddenly feels unwell and gets a headache. Concerned, Rohit suggests, “Let’s visit the doctor.” But Ruhi insists, “No, I just need some rest.” She heads off to her room.

Dadi, watching all of this, wishes for Abhira’s continued blessings from her parents. Everyone places flowers in front of the picture as a tribute. Vidya, curious about the next ritual, asks, “What about the Nath rasam?” Abhira tells her through the steps, and Vidya completes the Nath ceremony. Abhira stands there smiling, thinking about how much she misses her parents. Abhira whispers to herself, “I wish I had my family here with me right now.”

Just then, Manish, Suwarna, and Surekha arrive at the house, and the background music, Hamari banno pyaari, plays softly. The dupatta covering the picture accidentally falls, but Manish doesn’t notice. Instead, he looks at Abhira and thinks to himself, “Why do I always see Akshu in her?” Suwarna, overhearing him, interrupts, saying, “You should be seeing Ruhi. Ruhi is your daughter, not Abhira.” Manish softly replies, “I was just thinking aloud, that’s all.” Surekha steps in, trying to keep the peace, and says, “Please, let’s not argue about this right now.”

Abhira, excited to see Manish, runs to him and says, “You’re finally here! You look so handsome, and both of you look amazing together. Come on, join us!” Dadi then performs the Nath ceremony on Abhira, making her wear the Nath with grace. The family claps in celebration. Feeling victorious, Abhira declares, “I won! From now on, no more talking about that contract!”

Vidya gently reminds her about the shagun, saying, “Don’t forget to light the 11 shagun diyas.” As Abhira goes to light them, Manish watches and says, “This moment feels so familiar, like a memory from the past.” Abhira, feeling touched, thanks him, “Thank you for always supporting me.” Manish asks, “Did your loan finally get approved?” Abhira replies with a smile, “No, but my mom saved me. She had invested for me, and today, those investments paid off. My mom raised me on her own, and she gave me all the love in the world.”

Manish, feeling emotional, adds, “Moms are truly special. By the way, how do you know about this Himachali ceremony?” Abhira reveals, “My dad was from Kasauli, and that’s how I learned about it.” Hearing this, Manish’s face softens as he recalls Abhinav. He asks manisha, “And what about your mom? What do you know about her?” Abhira admits, “I asked her many times about our family history, but she never told me much.” Curious, Manish asks, “What was your mom’s name?” Before Abhira can answer, the family rushes over to drag her onto the dance floor. They all begin dancing, enjoying the festive atmosphere.

While dancing, Abhira catches a glimpse of Ruhi standing in the corner.
