Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai 21st June 2023 on WorldofEntertainment.in
The episode begins with Ruhi and Abhir commenting that the uncle did not show up for the face off with Surekha, leaving the question of who will do it now. Surekha then states that there is no one capable. Manish, from the groom’s side, offers to take on the challenge. Kairav points out his relation to the groom, but Muskaan reveals that he considers her a daughter. Manish also checks with Surekha if she has any objections, and she assures him that she does not.
However, Dadi interrupts by stating that Surekha herself can be a problem at times. Ruhi then announces that the first dance off will be between Dadi and Neela Amma. Both ladies dance, but Neela Amma’s coughing and tiredness lead to Dadi being declared as the winner. Finally, Dadi embraces Neela Amma in a hug. It’s now Suvarna and Manjiri’s turn, says Ruhi. Manjiri stops dancing when she sees Abhinav. Ruhi says Manjiri stopped, and Suvarna won.
Abhimanyu says it’s okay Maa, come on. Abhir says it’s Manish and Surekha’s turn now. Surekha and Manish dance energetically, winning the face off. Dadi says Surekha, dance again tomorrow. The next two are Kairav and Abhinav, Abhir says. Manish whistles for Kairav. Aarohi asks who you support, Kairav or Abhinav. Muskaan says 50-50, but Abhinav should win. Kairav and Abhinav dance to Kesariya remix. Muskaan winks. Kairav stops dancing. Abhir says yay, dad won. Kairav says Muskaan did cheating. They ask what. Akshara says good work, husband ji. Ruhi says it’s Aarohi and Muskaan’s turn now.
Aarohi and Muskaan are dancing together when Aarohi suddenly pauses, clutching her head. Muskaan rushes to support her, and Aarohi shows Muskaan’s hand as the winner. The crowd breaks into smiles as Aarohi embraces Muskaan. Meanwhile, Manjiri finds herself torn between wanting to see Akshara and Abhimanyu together, but also not wanting to leave Aarohi and Ruhi. She frets over what to do, while Akshara checks on Aarohi’s well-being.
Aarohi assures everyone that she is fine, while Kairav congratulates her. Manish teases Kairav and he replies with gratitude towards his sister-in-law. With the attention shifting to Akshara and Abhimanyu, Manish suggests that they dance next with their respective partners, Abhir and Ruhi. The room fills with applause as Akshara and Abhimanyu begin their performance with Dum dum mast hai playing in the background… Several kids start dancing and jumping, and Manjiri looks at Abhinav. Everyone laughs.
Ruhi’s slipper falls off. She asks Abhimanyu to dance. Abhimanyu dances with Abhir and Akshara. Manjiri smiles. Surekha comments on the performance. Abhimanyu says Kairav and Muskaan should dance now. All couples dance. Tere vaaste…plays… Akshara signs Abhinav to come. He signs no and leaves. She goes after him. Abhinav remembers Akshara and cries. Akshara comes and takes her seat. She invites, “Will you join me on the dance floor and hold my hand while we dance?” He ponders, feeling unworthy of such joy.
Recalling her words, he grasps her hand and embraces her. Concerned, she asks him what’s troubling him. Admitting his insecurities, he confesses “I may have won that dance, but I can’t keep up with the skill of Abhimanyu. Both you and him are fantastic dancers.” Ready to leave out of pity, he apologizes for his inability to dance. However, she halts him and insists on knowing the truth. She assures him “We won’t leave until you open up to me. Don’t even think about lying.”
He confesses his fear to her and gives her a hug. She inquires about the reason behind it. He admits that he’s afraid of the potential outcome and its consequences. She then reassures him by stating that Muskaan’s departure was inevitable and she is not going to an unfamiliar place, but rather our own home. He expresses his uneasiness while she highlights the positive aspect of fear, as it motivates us to strive harder.
She also reminds him that their bond has never been weakened by any challenges thus far, but with more joys, comes the fear of losing them. She encourages him to open up and seek comfort in her presence. Abhir calls out for them to join him.
Precap:
Akshara says, after bidaai I will tell Abhinav about Abhir knowing that he isn’t his true father. Abhinav looks shocked. Abhir says I love my parents and I love you. Abhimanyu hugs him. He says it’s time to tell him the truth.
