In this episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai (23rd February 2025), RK gives Armaan an ultimatum, forcing him to choose between Abhira and Shivani. Tensions rise as Armaan faces a tough decision, with his actions causing a rift in the family. Will Armaan make the right choice? Tune in for all the emotional drama and intense moments.
The episode opens with Shivani experiencing an emotional moment upon seeing Armaan, who admits that he took too long to return. However, Shivani firmly tells him that she cannot continue dwelling on the past. Armaan, determined to make things right, decides to take her to the Poddar house, believing that she deserves to be surrounded by love and respect. Shivani, though, refuses and has a panic attack in response. Abhira warns Armaan that Kaveri will never accept Shivani, and bringing her home will only make matters more difficult. She is also concerned about how it will affect Vidya and Madhav. Despite these concerns, Armaan insists that Shivani needs proper care and medical attention, and he won’t back down from taking her to the Poddar house.
Armaan tries to convince Shivani to go with him, and after some hesitation, she agrees to face the Poddar family. Meanwhile, Abhira feels Armaan is rushing into things, and though she is torn between supporting him and standing by her family, she ultimately expresses her doubts. In an emotional moment, Armaan confesses that he no longer wants to go through with their divorce and pleads with Abhira to cancel it. To his surprise, Abhira also refuses the divorce, revealing that she wants more time to be with him. The two share a heartfelt embrace as they reconcile.
Later, Abhir informs Kiara that for the time being, she will have to manage with Abhira’s clothes. Kiara, however, insists on going shopping and encourages Abhir to take her. He explains that he still needs time to adjust to their new situation, but when he offers her the bed, Kiara teases him and calls him “filmy.” She remains optimistic that one day, he will fall in love with her, even as Abhir finds his thoughts drifting toward Charu.
Meanwhile, Armaan and Abhira have a conversation about Shivani, realizing they need to tell her that she is Armaan’s wife, not RK’s. Just then, RK returns home, and Armaan thanks him for his support in helping Shivani. RK, however, demands a choice from Armaan—either Abhira or Shivani. He accuses Armaan of taking everything from him, reminding him that the Poddars abandoned Shivani when she was on the brink of death. RK argues that Armaan is the one causing division in the family, blaming the Poddars for ruining both Abhira and Shivani’s lives.
Armaan, standing his ground, declares that neither Abhira nor Shivani should be treated as possessions to be controlled. RK challenges him further, urging him to divorce Abhira, suggesting that once she is free, she will eventually fall in love with him. RK forces Armaan into an impossible situation, demanding that he choose between the two.
