YEH RISHTA KYA KEHLATA HAI MARCH 20 WRITTEN UPDATE: HERE'S WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN TODAY'S EPISODE?

In another part of the house, Manisha is busy preparing for Aryan's wedding, selecting outfits with excitement. However, Aryan is in no mood for celebration. He questions how she can focus on the wedding when Abhira and Armaan are missing, and the family is already tense. He points out that Vidya is upset, and no one is addressing the real issues. Despite his concerns, Manisha remains firm, insisting that Aryan's marriage to Disha is his priority, regardless of her family complications.

On the other hand, Armaan grows practical and slightly stern with Abhira. He tells her not to expect any comfort or special treatment and asks her to come along as he heads home. As they sit in the car, the tension between them becomes evident. Abhira finally voices what's been bothering her - she wants to end their fake husband-wife arrangement, unable to continue the emotional strain of pretending.

Back home, Vidya anxiously waits for Armaan, constantly worrying about Maira. Meanwhile, Manisha and Kajal discuss preparations for the upcoming Gangaur festival, trying to maintain normalcy. When Armaan and Abhira return, Vidya immediately questions them about Maira. In a shocking moment, Abhira and Armaan announce that they can no longer continue pretending to be a married couple. Their decision stuns the family.

Aryan tries to intervene, urging them to maintain the act just a little longer for the sake of the family and upcoming rituals. He suggests they pretend for six more days. Initially, both Abhira and Armaan refuse, unwilling to live a lie. However, Manoj steps in with a balanced perspective, asking them to hold things together at least until the Gangaur festival, trusting that fate will handle the rest. Reluctantly, Abhira and Armaan agree.

ARYAN AND DISHA DECIDE TO REUNITE ARMAAN-ABHIRA

Meanwhile, Aryan informs Disha about the situation. Disha becomes anxious, fearing that her marriage might fall apart if Abhira and Armaan don't grow closer again. Determined to secure her future, she teams up with Aryan to subtly rekindle feelings between Abhira and Armaan, hoping it will somehow stabilize everything. Around the same time, Tanya gifts Abhira a Gangaur outfit, which triggers memories of her past with Armaan, making her emotional.

Aryan continues his attempts to bring Abhira and Armaan closer. He deliberately mentions that Armaan drinks beverages loaded with ice, knowing Abhira's concern for him. As expected, Abhira instinctively removes the ice from Armaan's drink, revealing that she still cares deeply. When Aryan questions her actions, she avoids answering, unwilling to admit her feelings.

Later, Aryan, Armaan, and Krish sit together, reminiscing about their old group and the bond they once shared. Aryan tries to address unresolved tensions between Armaan and Krish, but Krish brushes it off, claiming everything is fine. Aryan doesn't believe him and points out how Abhira still worries about Armaan. While Armaan ignores these remarks, Krish questions Aryan's intentions. Aryan insists he's only trying to help, but Krishuspects he is unaware that Meher may have feelings for Armaan.

As the festivities approach, Abhira faces another awkward situation. She refuses to wear an outfit with Armaan's name on it, not wanting to deepen the illusion of their relationship. Instead, she cleverly hides the stole to avoid attention. Armaan, however, notices her behavior and begins to wonder if she had a role in calming Maira earlier. Determined to get answers, he confronts her.

The confrontation quickly turns emotional. Abhira breaks down, overwhelmed by everything she's been holding inside. When Armaan asks if someone has hurt her, she sharply responds that he has no right to question her pain. Despite his attempt to comfort her with a tissue, she pushes him away, maintaining her distance. Armaan is left frustrated, torn between anger and lingering emotions, while memories of their past resurface. Abhira continues to cry, unable to control her feelings.

In the final segment, the women of the house, Manisha, Kajal, Tanya, and Vidya, gather for mehendi preparations. Vidya expresses doubt that Kaveri will participate since Abhira is present. However, in a surprising move, Kaveri arrives and chooses to apply mehendi to Vidya's hand, and then to Manisha's, signaling a shift in her stance. When Tanya invites Abhira to join, Vidya dismisses the idea, saying it's unnecessary. Just then, Madhav enters and takes matters into his own hands, deciding to apply mehendi to Abhira's hand, creating a powerful and unexpected moment.
