The Friday episode of Rajan Shahi’s “Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai” started with Akshara and Abhimanyu in the pool when they see Harshvardhan there. They get under the water so that he doesn’t see them. Later, Abhimanyu jokes that his father’s timing is very bad as he always comes whenever he and Akshara are in a romantic mood.
After a while, Abhimanyu sees Manjari, Mahima, and Shefali taking some haldi for Akshara. They tell him that Akshara has to prepare it on her own. Abhimanyu asks them whys he has to do that when he did not see anything like that happening at Paarth and Shefali’s wedding. Mahima tells him that it’s because Shefali’s family was not so keen on the rituals like the Goenkas. Shefali tells him that they won’t make Akshara go through any unnecessary trouble and that it’s a ritual. Abhimanyu feels bad for Akshara.
When Manjari and Mahima take the haldi to the Goenkas, Suhasini and Swarna are quite shocked to see so much haldi. They tell them that they have not heard of any such ritual, Mahima interrupts and tells them that even they were beaten by branches. Akshara tells them she will happily do it for Abhimanyu.
Akshara then takes the haldi and finds two guys standing in the way, she gets scared and leaves from there. Abhimanyu notices Akshara going and follows her. Aarohi, Swarna, and Suhasini give her company but she asks them to prepare her outfits for the functions and they leave. Abhimanyu then surprises her and they spend some alone time together. Akshara then asks him to leave before someone sees him there.
After some time, when Abhimanyu was sitting alone, Kairav comes to him to have a big brother conversation with him. He tells Abhimanyu that Akshara has lost a lot of things since childhood but she has never made anyone feel that. He also tells him that Akshara has treated Aarohi like her child without expecting anything from her and he wants that whatever he couldn’t get in the Goenka house, Akshara gets them in the Birla house. He asks him to help Akshara in building new relationships, especially those where Akshara has not been able to make a bond. Abhimanyu promises him that he will do anything to make Akshara happy and comfortable.
Meanwhile, Aarohi along with Akhilesh and Manish was out when they met a couple. They congratulated Aarohi on her wedding with Abhimanyu but Manish corrects them and tells them that it’s Akshara’s wedding with Abhimanyu. Aarohi gets upset and leaves from there. She later hears the couple saying that something might have happened and that’s why Aarohi’s wedding was called off. Aarohi realises people must be thinking bad of her and she must do something to regain her status. At the same time, those two guys start following Akshara but she manages to hide somewhere.
In the upcoming episode, we will see that Mahima asks the Goenkas whether they want the wedding in a traditional way or modern way and tells them that even they have some rituals and if they are not ok following it then they should just cancel the haldi celebration. Meanwhile, Akshara manages to hide somewhere because of the two guys who were following her, however, she couldn’t come out even in the morning. Aarohi, Kairav, and Abhimanyu are looking for her everywhere. To know what happens next, keep watching “Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai”.
