YEH RISHTA KYA KEHLATA HAI MAY 7 WRITTEN UPDATE: HERE'S WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN TODAY'S EPISODE?

As time passes, Abhira begins losing hope and assumes Armaan will not come. Hurt and disappointed, she apologizes to the counselor for wasting her time and prepares to leave. Just then, Armaan arrives at the last possible moment, leaving Abhira stunned. Seeing her instantly softens him, and the counselor decides to dig deeper into the cracks in their relationship.

During the session, Abhira accuses Armaan of having severe trust issues and says he gets manipulated against her very easily. Armaan, on the other hand, blames Abhira's anger for destroying peace between them. In an emotionally charged moment, he calls her stubborn, aggressive, and someone who hides things from him.

As he continues listing his complaints, he suddenly realizes he may have gone too far and regrets speaking harshly about her. The guilt begins affecting Armaan immediately. He reflects on how he always ruins things between them and feels terrible for hurting Abhira during the session. Abhira, however, surprises him by thanking him for showing up despite everything. The emotional atmosphere slowly changes as Armaan opens his heart honestly for the first time.

He admits that ever since Abhira moved out of his life, he has deeply missed her presence, even her anger. He confesses that life feels incomplete without her and promises that he genuinely wants to fix their relationship. Wanting to lighten the mood, Armaan compliments Abhira's appearance, making her smile shyly, hinting that love still exists beneath all the bitterness.

Elsewhere, Aryan questions Disha about why she is searching for a job. Disha reveals that Manisha wants her to work, but emotionally she wishes to remain a housewife. She worries that Aryan and Manisha may feel embarrassed because of her decision. Aryan calmly tries to explain that Manisha only wants her to become independent and capable, but Disha feels misunderstood. Later, Manisha feels happy seeing Disha, showing that despite disagreements, the family bond remains intact.

WILL ARMAAN AND ABHIRA REUNITE?

Back at home, Maira and Mukti begin teasing Armaan by asking whether Abhira is really angry, stubborn, and a fighter as he described in therapy. At the same time, Abhira questions Kaveri about the same accusations. Kaveri indirectly admits that Abhira does have a temper, leaving Abhira shaken and wondering if Armaan's complaints were actually true.

Things become even more dramatic when Maira and Mukti advise Armaan to recognize his own flaws too. Meanwhile, Kaveri intentionally drops Abhira's mobile phone into water and asks whether she is angry now. Desperate to prove everyone wrong, Abhira suppresses her frustration and insists she is perfectly calm. Maira and Mukti, however, continue scolding Armaan for publicly criticizing Abhira in front of the counselor.

Kaveri eventually points out that Abhira truly struggles with anger issues, while Manisha also questions why she constantly appears upset. Though Abhira repeatedly denies it, her reactions tell a different story. Later, Mukti and Maira encourage Armaan to speak to Abhira again and improve things between them.

The atmosphere finally becomes lighter when everyone gathers for mango shakes. However, Maira immediately loses interest after learning Vidya prepared them. Abhira, showing maturity and respect despite past tensions, tells Maira not to insult Vidya's efforts. Vidya insists Mukti should also drink so the shakes do not go to waste, while Manisha offers to make another one for Mukti.

In a touching final moment, Mukti remarks that even Vidya's bitter words now feel like blessings, and Manisha praises Abhira's upbringing and values. The episode ends on an emotional yet hopeful note, hinting that healing and reconciliation may slowly begin for Abhira and Armaan.
