The episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai on 9 March 2025 begins with tension in the Poddar house. Abhira wakes up early and tries to hide her injury from the family. She winces in pain but puts on a brave face. Sanjay notices her discomfort and questions her, but she dismisses it with a smile. However, Kaveri senses something is wrong.
Meanwhile, Armaan is lost in thought. He recalls his conversation with the company manager, who rejected his job application due to a lack of experience. He knows he must prove himself but feels helpless. Vidya sees his frustration and tries to console him, but Armaan walks away, deep in thought.
On the other hand, Ruhi is determined to win Armaan’s love back. She approaches Kaveri and expresses her concern about Armaan and Abhira’s relationship. She subtly hints that Abhira might not be the right choice for Armaan. Kaveri, already doubtful of Abhira, listens carefully but does not respond immediately.
Abhira, despite her injury, goes to the kitchen to help with preparations. Vidya notices her struggling and insists she rests. However, Abhira assures her that she is fine. Armaan walks in and sees her in pain. He gently holds her hand and asks her why she is pretending to be strong. Abhira brushes him off, saying she doesn’t want to trouble anyone. Armaan looks at her with concern but says nothing.
Later, Manish calls Armaan to check on him. Armaan hesitates but finally confesses that he is struggling to find a job. Manish encourages him and reminds him that he is capable of achieving anything. This gives Armaan some confidence, and he decides not to give up.
Meanwhile, Suwarna and Surekha discuss Ruhi’s growing obsession with Armaan. Surekha warns Suwarna that Ruhi is not ready to accept reality and might take drastic steps. Suwarna worries about what Ruhi might do next.
As the day progresses, Abhira gets a call from her college. She has an important project submission, but she is unable to leave due to her injury. Armaan sees her dilemma and offers to drop her at college. Abhira hesitates but eventually agrees.
On the way, Armaan tries to lighten the mood by playing music. Abhira smiles slightly but remains lost in thought. Armaan notices her silence and asks if she is upset about something. Abhira avoids eye contact and says she is fine. Armaan knows she is hiding something but does not push her.
At college, Abhira submits her project and gets praised by her professor. She feels relieved but suddenly feels dizzy. Armaan quickly rushes to her side and supports her. He asks if she needs a doctor, but she refuses. He insists on taking her home.
Back at the Poddar house, Kaveri sees Armaan bringing Abhira inside. She questions what happened, and Armaan explains that Abhira was unwell. Kaveri looks at Abhira with suspicion but does not say anything. Ruhi, who is watching from a distance, smirks. She sees this as another opportunity to create doubt about Abhira in the family’s mind.
At night, Armaan sits alone, thinking about his future. He knows he must become financially stable to secure a future with Abhira. He decides to apply for more jobs and not lose hope.
Abhira, in her room, looks at her injured hand. She recalls how Armaan took care of her and feels emotional. She whispers to herself that no matter what happens, she will not let anything break their bond.
In another part of the house, Ruhi meets Sanjay secretly. She tells him that they must do something to make sure Armaan and Abhira do not stay together. Sanjay smirks and tells her to wait for the right moment. Ruhi nods, determined to execute her plan.
The episode ends with Kaveri standing outside Abhira’s room, listening to her conversation with herself. Kaveri’s eyes darken with suspicion. It seems like she has started doubting Abhira’s intentions once again.
Precap: Kaveri confronts Abhira and questions her about her injury. Ruhi adds fuel to the fire, making the situation worse. Meanwhile, Armaan gets an unexpected job offer but with a shocking condition.
