Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai Written Update March 17: Maira Gets Shocked & Frozen Seeing Armaan With Abhira

Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai Today Episode: Tonight's (March 17) episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai begins with Manisha asking Abhira (Samridhii Shukla) and Armaan (Rohit Purohit) to quickly change their outfits for the engagement ceremony. She explains that she had to call her designer on very short notice to arrange the best outfits for the occasion, and she wants everything to look perfect.

However, Abhira immediately objects, pointing out that her outfit is already matching Armaan's and she doesn't want them to look like a coordinated pair. Armaan also supports her point and says he is not particularly eager to wear something just to match her. Seeing the tension building between them, Manisha tells the two to stop arguing for now and get ready quickly, reminding them that this is an important family function and guests will start arriving any moment.

Soon after, Abhira again approaches Armaan and insists that he should change his outfit. Arman refuses and tells her that Manisha specially arranged the dress for him, so he intends to wear exactly what she selected. Abhira, still annoyed, tells him he can simply pick any old outfit from his wardrobe and wear that instead. Their disagreement slowly turns into a heated argument over the dress and the idea of matching outfits.

Meanwhile, Manisha once again steps in and asks both of them to put their differences aside and get ready first, reminding them that guests have already started arriving for the engagement ceremony.

As the preparations continue, the Poddar family is seen getting ready for the big celebration. The house is filled with excitement as everyone prepares for the engagement. Manisha asks Damyanti to go and check on Disha, mentioning that she looks beautiful in the outfit she personally selected for her. Damyanti smiles and replies that Aryan is also looking very handsome in the outfit chosen for him. Aryan happily agrees with her, clearly pleased with the compliment.

With the guests gathering and the engagement ceremony about to begin, the atmosphere in the Poddar house becomes lively, while the tension between Abhira and Armaan continues to simmer beneath the surface.

MAIRA FINALLY SEES ABHIRA WITH ARMAAN

Damyanti asks Abhira to start a ritual, making Abhira feel uneasy about manipulating everyone's emotions; Manisha also urges Abhira to begin, but Damyanti stops her, questioning Abhira's lack of vermillion and neckchain. Abhira explains she has a vermillion allergy and lost her neckchain, claiming the ritual can proceed without vermillion, while Disha's mother calls it a bad omen, and Abhira suggests Tanya perform it, yet Damyanti insists only the elder daughter‑in‑law should do it.

Damyanti suggests Armaan put a ring on Abhira. Armaan has no ring, so Kaveri gives him hers and asks him to complete the ritual, but Vidya intervenes, asking the Poddars what they're hiding and declaring rituals without fun meaningless, urging Armaan and Abhira to abandon the game/ritual. Then, a game twist emerges as Damyanti inquires about the ritual.

Aryan says Armaan must chase Abhira and, if he wins, place the ring on her, warning the wedding will be cancelled if they play, while Maira gets excited to attend Aryan's wedding. Finally, in the climax, Abhira and Armaan play the game, remembering the past. Armaan wins, Damyanti orders him to put the ring on Abhira, Vidya gets irked, Maira enters, shocked to see Abhira and Armaan, remembers the past, and stands frozen, and the episode ends.
