YEH RISHTA KYA KEHLATA HAI MARCH 21 WRITTEN UPDATE: HERE'S WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN TODAY'S EPISODE?

Soon, the focus shifts to preparations for the Gangaur celebration. Kaveri asks Armaan (Rohit Purohit) to invite Disha's family, setting the stage for upcoming drama. Meanwhile, Manisha expresses her belief that Disha will create the perfect idol, subtly raising expectations. Kajal, not wanting to fall behind, pushes Tanya to ensure their side matches up. Madhav, however, places his faith in Abhira, saying she will make the best idol. Abhira resists the idea and even makes fun of the ritual, showing her reluctance and disconnection from the traditions.

The situation escalates when Manisha warns that if Abhira refuses to participate, Damyanti might create a huge scene, potentially jeopardizing the wedding. Unfazed, Abhira remarks that the truth is bound to come out soon anyway, so delaying it makes no difference. Manisha grows concerned, predicting that Damyanti will not even allow the puja to proceed. Eventually, Kaveri emotionally persuades Abhira, convincing her to make the idol in the name of God. Though reluctant, Abhira agrees, while Vidya watches all this with visible irritation.

As the story progresses, Armaan goes to invite Disha's family. Damyanti notices that he has arrived alone and feels insulted, questioning the state of his relationship with Abhira. Just in time, Abhira arrives and diffuses the situation. To avoid suspicion, she fabricates a story, and the couple manages to invite the family successfully.

A ritual involving bangles adds another layer to the narrative. Disha's mother insists that Armaan make Abhira wear bangles, explaining the belief that if a husband successfully adorns his wife with bangles without breaking any, their bond will remain strong for seven lifetimes. Armaan and Abhira perform the ritual, creating an intimate and symbolic moment.

However, this moment doesn't go unnoticed - Disha records it and sends the video to Aryan. Vidya sees it and becomes visibly upset, but Aryan tries to calm her down, suggesting that fate is bringing Armaan and Abhira closer and that she should accept it. His words leave Vidya stunned.

HOW WILL DAMYANTI REACT AFTER MEHER'S ENTRY?

Soon, Disha's family arrives at the Poddar house, and they are warmly welcomed by Abhira, Manisha, Kajal, and Tanya. The atmosphere turns festive as everyone joins in dancing. Kaveri encourages Armaan to participate, leading to a moment where Armaan questions Abhira about how she managed to convince Disha's family. Abhira reveals that Disha told Aryan, who then passed the information to her. Armaan insists he could have handled it alone, but Abhira dismisses the argument, saying the ongoing drama will end soon.

Tension builds again as Vidya watches Armaan and Abhira dancing together, clearly affected by their growing closeness. Tanya, on the other hand, praises their chemistry, further triggering Vidya's emotions. In the midst of the celebration, a new character dynamic emerges. Meher almost falls, but Armaan quickly catches her, drawing attention.

When Damyanti questions who Meher is, Abhira introduces her as Armaan's business partner. Meher reveals she has known the Poddar family for eight years, but Abhira counters by saying she has known them for eighteen years, subtly asserting her deeper connection. The situation becomes more complicated when Meher claims to be ArmaAn's "secret holder," leaving Abhira visibly upset.

Armaan questions Meher's presence, especially since she doesn't enjoy traditional festivities. Meher casually replies that she simply felt like coming, adding an air of mystery to her character.
