Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Abhira asserts to Armaan that their marriage is only on papers and not in reality
The episode commences with Manish extending his congratulations, noting that Ruhi's varmala ceremony went smoothly. Vidya questions his remark, and Suwarna explains that the varmala ritual has traditionally encountered barriers. Lightening the mood, Manoj jests approximately Manisha, eliciting laughter from every person. Expressing his preference for Ruhi and Armaan's marriage to be free of hurdles, Manish emphasizes their everlasting happiness. The pandit instructs Akshu to perform the kanyadaan, and tearfully, Akshu offers Abhira's hand to Armaan. Simultaneously, Manish offers Ruhi's hand to Rohit, who exchanges significant glances with Ruhi. Charu ties the ghatbandhan, and amid the wedding rituals, Akshu is asked to sign some papers.The scene unfolds to the melodious tune of "Yeh Rishta Kya…," and playful banter surrounds Ruhi. Rohit reassures anyone of his commitment to continually assist her. Meanwhile, Armaan and Abhira sign the essential documents. Realizing the absence of sindoor, Kipling apologizes, but Abhira reassures him, pointing out that the signatures suffice. Akshu intervenes, rejecting the mangalsutra, however Abhira wonders the way to set up for it at this moment. Spotting a close-by temple, Akshu expresses confidence that Kanha Ji might not let the marriage remain incomplete. Armaan retrieves sindoor from the temple and ornaments Abhira's forehead. Simultaneously, Rohit fills Ruhi's maang, and each couples alternate mangalsutras. The rite concludes with applause and benefits from the circle of relatives.
The joyous occasion takes a unexpected turn when Manish, feeling restless, collapses. Concerned faces surround him, and amid the chaos, Abhira is bowled over to witness Akshu's deteriorating situation. The episode closes with arrangements for Akshara's final rites, and emotions run high as Ruhi expresses her sense of loss.
