The episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai tonight begins with Manjiri arriving at the Sharma house in Kasauli and Aarohi meeting Akshara. Aarohi admits her lack of skill in the kitchen, but Akshara reassures her that it’s easy. They find it strange that fate has brought them together in the same family. Akshara refrains from mentioning anything about Abhimanyu.
Abhinav and Neela prepare the shagun envelopes. Akshara assures them that money and jewelry won’t affect Kairav and his family because they value relationships more. Abhinav trusts Akshara and her family, who prioritize relationships. Neela blesses him. Abhimanyu gives his room to Neela’s relatives and sleeps in the drawing room. Akshara advises him not to sleep outside to avoid getting sick, but Abhimanyu dismisses the discomfort.
Abhir and Ruhi are excited about Manjiri’s arrival. Abhimanyu assures Akshara that Manjiri won’t cause any problems. The next day, Akshara and Abhimanyu welcome Manjiri, who is delighted to meet Abhir and Ruhi. Meanwhile, Muskaan faces trouble when she loses an expensive engagement ring. Abhimanyu suggests that Manjiri rest at a hotel, but Manish invites her to stay with them. Ruhi mentions that there isn’t enough space, so Manjiri agrees to stay at the hotel. However, Abhir and Akshara insist that she stay with them, and Manjiri agrees to stay back.
Kairav asks Muskaan for a date, but she declines, claiming to be busy and not sharing her concerns. Aarohi feels she hasn’t become a priority in the Birla family and realizes she has no place in Abhimanyu’s life. Manjiri enters Akshara’s room and closely observes it, noticing Akshara and Abhinav’s picture. She tells Abhimanyu that she came to meet Abhir, not for Kairav’s marriage. Manjiri urges him to tell Abhir the truth, but Abhimanyu believes it’s not the right time and asks her to keep it a secret. He believes it’s up to Akshara and him to decide when to reveal the truth. Abhimanyu meets Akshara and suggests that Abhinav should learn the truth first, as Abhir already knows it.
Akshara agrees to talk to him after the marriage functions. Abhinav witnesses their calm conversation. Neela asks Muskaan to hand over the lost ring, but Muskaan confesses she lost it. Abhinav comforts her and promises to arrange a similar ring to cover up her mistake, but she insists he shouldn’t buy a ring. Surekha overhears their conversation and learns from their mistake. Manjiri witnesses Akshara’s struggles in her middle-class home and sympathizes with her.
