The scene unfolds as the children approach Armaan and Abhira, with Kiara and Aryan extending their apologies. Abhira, with a forgiving demeanor, reassures them, embracing them warmly and urging them not to harbor any ill feelings towards Aryan.
As they gather for dinner, Kajal and Sanjay escort Dadi into the room, illuminating it with lights. Soon, everyone is swept up in the joyous rhythm of “Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai,” dancing together. Amidst the festivities, Ruhi notices Armaan, while Dadi confronts Abhira, accusing her of besmirching her reputation and tarnishing years of hard work.
Armaan steps in, acknowledging Dadi’s justified anger but defending Abhira’s actions, stating that she saved her. Dadi, however, vehemently blames Abhira for her predicament, accusing her of prioritizing her career over family loyalty.
Despite attempts by others to intervene, Dadi’s tirade continues, culminating in a shocking ultimatum: Armaan and Abhira must leave the house.
In a desperate plea, Abhira begs Dadi not to punish Armaan and herself, willing to endure any consequences herself. However, Dadi remains resolute, instructing Vidya to prepare for their departure. As tears flow, Abhira, devastated, implores Dadi to reconsider, emphasizing the bond between Armaan and the family. Undeterred, Dadi remains steadfast, leaving Armaan and Abhira grappling with their uncertain future.
Defiant, Armaan refuses to accept Dadi’s decree, asserting his right to remain with Abhira. He professes his unwavering devotion to his family, displaying the cherished memories encapsulated in photo frames. Despite his heartfelt plea, Dadi remains unmoved, challenging him with a test: to prioritize and save three valuable possessions in a hypothetical fire scenario.
Confidently, Armaan selects the family photograph, symbolic of his love, his collection of toffee wrappers, representing cherished memories, and his law degree, a testament to his achievements. Yet, to his dismay, Dadi declares his answer insufficient, leaving him stunned and uncertain of what lies ahead.
