The 15th March 2026 episode of ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’ opened with Vidya confronting Arman, asking whether he had started creating drama again with Abhira or had thought about how Myra might react to everything happening around her.Meanwhile, Aryan approached Arman and thanked him sincerely, saying he was getting the chance to be with Disha only because of the support he received from both Arman and Abhira.
Miara gets excited, then gets a shock
Miara learned about Aryan’s upcoming wedding and became extremely excited, immediately talking about shopping and preparing for the sangeet. She asked Arman to speak with her matron so she could get leave from school. However, Abhira quietly realised that no one had considered how Miara might feel about the entire situation and began thinking about leaving.At that moment, Arman announced that Miara would not be attending the wedding at all. Miara was shocked and asked why. Arman said she could not miss a full week of studies for wedding celebrations. Miara asked if she could at least come on the final day. Arman said no. Abhira was prepared to talk to Arman about his decision.
Tradition vs change
Manisha questioned Damyanti about why she was thinking negatively about Disha staying with them until the engagement. Damyanti said certain traditions could not be ignored. Manisha disagreed, saying times had changed. Sanjay also supported this, suggesting that both families staying together would help them understand each other better. Damyanti insisted that, according to tradition, the groom’s family should not even drink water at the bride’s house, and decided they should leave.
Abhira steps in
Abhira stepped in before Damyanti could walk out. Tanya backed her up and told Damyanti that Disha would be completely comfortable with them. Abhira then poured water on Disha’s hands as a welcoming gesture, and together she and Tanya brought Disha inside.Vidya questioned how Abhira could stop Damyanti’s family from leaving. Arman surprised everyone by supporting Abhira and saying she did the right thing. Manisha, however, expressed that she was not completely happy with Aryan and Disha’s alliance. Aryan approached Arman and Krish and told them he truly loved Disha and could not imagine losing her. Abhira and Tanya spoke privately with Disha, who said she wanted to stay and understand the family better. Armaan, Aryan, and Krish got into a debate with Abhira and Tanya about marriage, relationships, and traditions. During this, Krish also showed a video to Meher.
Abhira’s unexpected proposal
Abhira proposed that if Disha stayed with the Poddar family, then Aryan should also stay with Disha’s family in return. Manisha strongly opposed the idea. Damyanti said she did not fully understand it. Abhira explained that just as the Poddar family wanted to understand Disha, Disha’s family also deserved the chance to know Aryan before the wedding. Vidya objected, saying it went against tradition. Abhira replied that traditions were made by people and changed according to convenience. After thinking for a moment, Damyanti agreed.Aryan was extremely happy. Damyanti told him to come along immediately before she changed her mind. Tanya told Abhira that Arman would surely thank her. Abhira said she never wanted his gratitude, only his trust, something she felt he had never truly given her.Precap: Miara suggests to Mukti that they could go to the wedding venue and continue their matchmaking plan there. Meanwhile, Damyanti suddenly asks Arman and Abhira to exchange rings.Miara is completely shocked seeing them exchange rings in front of everyone.
