The December 30 episode of ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata’ Hai brings major upheavals for the Poddar family. While Armaan regains control of the firm, the cost of past mistakes comes crashing down on Krish. Family loyalties are tested, hard decisions are taken, and an unexpected offer hints at fresh trouble ahead.
Armaan regains the firm, Krish pays the price
The episode begins with Manoj informing Abhira. He lets him know the firm has recovered and is now valued at Rs 85 crore. As Abhira goes to speak to Armaan, she is shocked to see him asking Krish to leave the house. Tanya tries to defend her husband, but Armaan firmly asks her to leave as well.
A flashback reveals how Kajal uncovered the truth. She overhears Tanya and Krish discussing how he lost all the money. She was hurt but determined. Kajal checks Krish’s laptop and discovers his phone is synced to it. She gathers proof of his actions and exposes him quietly.
Meanwhile, Sanjay takes a harsh but final step. He throws Krish out of the Poddar house. It makes it clear that betrayal will not be tolerated, even if it comes from his own son.
Rs 85 crore deadline, family tensions, and a risky offer
Armaan turns to Abhira for emotional support. He struggles with the impossible task of arranging Rs 85 crore within three months.
Abhira offers to help him raise the money, but Armaan asks her to focus on the home and family instead. Despite her landing a major case worth Rs 1 crore, he insists she step back from work.
At home, Dadi Sa refuses to eat until she hears that the firm is back. Only after Armaan shares the news does she finally agree to eat. Armaan’s job hunt, however, hits repeated roadblocks. Tanya offers her help, but he refuses and instead asks her to ensure Krish leaves the house.
Before heading to Kiara’s place, the family decides to wear imitation jewellery to maintain appearances. Toward the end, Armaan follows Tanya’s earlier suggestion and meets a powerful client. He is offered a blank cheque in exchange for taking the case. Armaan does not agree immediately to it. He asks to meet the client’s daughter first. The promo hints at danger ahead in the show. Abhira senses that something may go terribly wrong with Armaan’s decision.
