In tonight’s episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Maira’s phone rings, immediately catching Abhira’s attention. Meanwhile, Maira requests the Poddar family’s help in creating a birthday card for her friend Anaya. Kajal asks Kiara to fetch her phone so she can look up some card designs, but Kiara freezes in place, realising that everyone has put away their phones as part of the family’s digital detox challenge.
As the family gathers to make the card, Maira begins reminiscing with the Poddars about their old times together. Taking advantage of the moment, Tanya quietly retrieves her phone. Noticing this, Kaveri questions Tanya, asking if she truly cannot stay away from her device. Abhira steps in and gently requests Kaveri to let everyone use their phones for a while. Armaan then thanks everyone for the time they’ve spent together and reminds them that balance is the key, phones shouldn’t control their lives, but can be used wisely.
Maira Faces an Unexpected Shock
Krish remarks that although the day felt refreshing without gadgets, such disconnection isn’t possible every day. Abhira playfully teases him for saying so. Maira then asks how to spell “Anaya” so she can write it on the card. Abhira suggests confirming the spelling directly from Anaya.
Maira decides to call Anaya, but the conversation takes a hurtful turn. Anaya bluntly tells her that she can’t come to the birthday party anymore. A moment later, Anaya’s mother takes the phone and informs Maira that their friendship is over. She warns Maira not to call or talk to Anaya at school again. When Maira asks why, Anaya’s mother says that Maira’s family is different from theirs and that she doesn’t want Anaya to learn anything from her or her parents.
Hearing this, Maira breaks down and starts crying. She remembers her earlier talk with Abhira and Armaan, who had tried to explain that the viral video showing them in a bad light was fake, it was just a hug that someone edited using AI. Hurt and confused, Maira tears the birthday card she made for Anaya. She feels betrayed, thinking that if the video was really fake, her friendship wouldn’t have been ruined, and blames Abhira and Armaan for lying to her.
While crying, Maira notices a notification on Abhira’s phone reminding her that her school’s annual function is in two days. She begins to worry that if Abhira and Armaan attend the event, her teacher might stop her from performing because of the video controversy. Not wanting to risk it after practicing so hard, Maira decides to make sure they don’t find out about the event and deletes the annual day reminder from Abhira’s phone.
Maira’s Growing Distance
Later, Abhira and Armaan discuss Maira’s annual function. When they ask about the date, Maira lies that it’s scheduled for later. Abhira suggests that they can work on her costume later since there’s still time, but Maira insists she needs it immediately for rehearsals. Abhira then encourages her to get ready for Anaya’s birthday party, but Maira makes another excuse, saying she needs to practice for her event and won’t be attending.
Abhira and Armaan sense her dishonesty but try to stay calm. Abhira at least urges her to hand over the card to Anaya as a gesture of goodwill. Maira, however, silently vows not to let her annual function slip away the same way she lost her chance to attend Anaya’s birthday.
Tensions Rise Over the Viral Video
Meanwhile, Vidya, Kaveri, and Kiara face harsh criticism online following the viral video of Abhira and Armaan. Krish confronts Sanjay, asking him to stand by him and the firm instead of supporting Abhira and Armaan. Amid the family’s growing tension, Abhira and Armaan decide to spend some quiet time together.

Armaan scrolls through social media, reading the negative comments, and his mood turns grim. Abhira wants to comfort him but hesitates, sensing his inner turmoil.
Precap for the Next Episode
In the precap, Sanjay confronts the Poddar family and mentions that the same viral video of Abhira and Armaan is still trending online, with people continuing to leave inappropriate comments. Abhira asks why Sanjay is even paying attention to such comments and says that everyone can choose to ignore negativity on social media.
Sanjay then shares his concern that their firm’s clients are upset and no longer wish to be connected with a company associated with Abhira and Armaan. When Abhira asks what he wants them to do, Sanjay tells them to apologise publicly. However, Abhira refuses, saying there’s no reason for her or Armaan to apologise since they haven’t done anything wrong.
