The episode Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai begins with Abhira (Samridhii Shukla) calling Abhir, who has already left for Japan without informing her. She confronts him, asking why he went alone, but Abhir hides the truth — that Kiara is avoiding him. Abhira and Maira then teasingly show Abhir a long list of gifts they expect from him.
Meanwhile, Taniya performs an aarti for Anshuman’s photo and emotionally prays for his return as a gift. Armaan (Rohit Purohit) tries to console her, gently asking her to consider him as a brother. However, Taniya’s grief turns into anger, and she lashes out at Armaan instead.

Abhira witnesses the confrontation and questions Armaan, reminding him that he had stopped her from talking to Taniya earlier. Armaan explains that he only wanted to comfort Taniya, while Abhira assures him that time will heal everything.
Later, the Poddar family gathers to celebrate Bhai Dooj. Krish and Kiara lighten the mood with a heartwarming singing session, reviving old memories. Armaan joins in, inviting everyone to sing together, creating an emotional yet joyful atmosphere — though Taniya remains distant and upset.
Afterward, Armaan takes Abhira, Maira, Krish, and Kiara to his favorite place. There, he installs a new bench and dedicates it to Charu and Rohit, writing their names. Maira, feeling nostalgic, writes BSP — her late brother’s initials — bringing tears to everyone’s eyes.
When they return home, Kaveri questions their absence, and the group makes excuses. Sanjay looks pleased to see all the children united. As the Bhai Dooj ceremony continues with Kiara and Kajal, Abhira notices Taniya still lost in sorrow.
The episode beautifully blends family warmth, lingering grief, and emotional memories, highlighting the fragile bonds that hold the Poddars together.
