Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai – June 23, 2025 – Abhir’s Promise
The episode begins with Abhira outside of Armaan’s room, feeling lost and heartbroken after a lecture from him about living in fear of the past. She recalls when he said, “You are complicating things. Instead of living in fear, you need to start feeling other emotions too”. Abhira walks away, wiping away tears, as a sad song plays.
Flashback to earlier that day, Abhira and Armaan are sitting at a table in his office. He tells her he is going to London for a week and she should look after herself. Abhira asks him if the reason they can’t be together is because of her, but he corrects her and says he is just a simple person and Abhira is too complicated.
Back in the present, Abhira is in her room, upset, and receives a call from her grandmother who is in distress because Vidya has put expired eye drops in her eyes. Abhira rushes to the eye doctor with her grandmother and Dadi Sa. The doctor tells her that Vidya’s eyesight could go away if she doesn’t have eye surgery soon, for which a 5 Lakh rupee deposit will be needed. Dadi Sa is worried, saying there is barely enough money to cover daily expenses. Abhira reassures them and said that, “They Always Figure it Out”. Dadi Sa shares that this operation would require that she is joined by Armaan in this situation.
Armaan hears their conversation from a distance. Vidya says that Armaan is about to start an important legal case for the family, so he must be there.
Armaan comes to his room, picks up his suitcase, and recalls the time he promised Roohi he would always be there for her. He calls Kiara, who introduces herself as Tanya and hands the phone over to his brother, Yuvraj, who sounds angry on the phone. He is furious about Armaan’s recent divorce with Abhira who feels helpless on the other side of the door. He goes to knock on Abhira’s door, but stops at the last moment.
He finds a gold ring on the ground and recalls when he put a ring on her finger during their wedding, then says that he’s sorry, that what he’s doing is wrong and that she did everything for his mom! He leaves and Abhira enters her room just after. She is distressed at having to choose between love and family.
He is then shown running through the snow with the little girl as if to pick her up before he leaves for his destination with his suitcase.
The next day, Abhira wakes up and sees it is sunny and says to herself, “The weather is so good today. It feels like it has been planned that all of us meet after a while.” At Poddar house, Sanjay says that he’s tired of everything and is going to contact a new client with good revenue, which the other family members advise him not to do since it’s against company practices. Abhira calls them, asking if he is able to make it to the family gathering for Dadi Sa, to which Yuvraj states, “you are not needed here” as he cuts the phone.
