YRKKH 23rd January 2025 Written Update Unexpected Twist. This Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai episode is yet another poorly disguised attempt at dragging a story that’s running on fumes. RK’s sudden concern about alimony feels less like genuine advice and more like a forced way to create conflict. Abhira’s self-righteous “money isn’t important” speech is as predictable as it is hollow, given how the show keeps recycling the same moral high ground argument without offering any depth or new perspective. Her taunt about RK not understanding relationships feels over the top, especially since the writers seem to equate character development with snarky one-liners and dramatic pauses.
Then we get the sob story about RK’s mother, which lands with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer. The revelation that RK works hard to pay for her medical treatment is supposed to make him a layered character, but it feels like a desperate ploy to make the audience pity him. The emotional manipulation is glaring, especially when RK drags his mother into the drama to justify his obsession with money. Instead of making him sympathetic, it just makes him look like a character crafted purely to fill gaps in the plot.
The big “twist” that Armaan’s childhood picture is with RK’s mom is laughably predictable. The slow pan to the picture, the dramatic cleaning of the frame, and the affection Vidya shows all scream “filler content.” Armaan smiling while Vidya embraces him feels like the writers ran out of ideas and decided to throw in some clichéd emotional bonding moments to keep the episode from collapsing under its weight.
And the precap questions? Absolutely ridiculous. The writers are trying to tease a connection between RK, Armaan, and Abhira as if the audience couldn’t already see it coming a mile away. The idea of Abhira bringing Armaan’s “real mother” to the Poddar house is such a tired trope—how many times will the show hinge its drama on surprise family revelations? Instead of moving the story forward, it’s stuck in a loop of poorly executed twists, unnecessary confrontations, and melodramatic filler scenes that insult the audience’s intelligence.

YRKKH 23rd January 2025 Written Update Unexpected Twist:
Abhira is convinced the universe woke up on the wrong side of the bed just to ruin her day. First, she has to walk to court without the luxury of an auto. Then, RK decides to casually hand over his case to another lawyer, leaving Abhira fuming. When confronted, RK shrugs it off, claiming money matters more than sticking to his word. Abhira, understandably outraged, questions his competence. RK boasts he can beat Armaan Poddar in court, but his priorities scream otherwise. Meanwhile, Abhira is gearing up to defend Armaan. Awkward much?
RK’s phone buzzes with a call from a mysterious woman, and he promptly dodges Abhira like a pro. Adding salt to her wounds, Abhira spots Kaveri at court, only to be coldly ignored. Cue existential crisis: Abhira regrets teaming up with RK. On the domestic front, Manisha whips up a questionable meal for Krish, Aryan, and Armaan. Armaan, being the unfiltered critic, calls her out for ruining perfectly good food. Manisha, not one to take unsolicited advice, claps back, but Vidya’s interruption shifts the chaos. To top it off, Manisha throws some sass Armaan’s way. Chef wars, anyone?
Charu, meanwhile, gets a surprise when Kiara shows up at the Goenka house, fishing for Abhir updates. Charu spills the tea about a casual garden meetup with Abhir. Kiara, in her concerned mode, quizzes Abhir, who plays it cool. Manish throws in a wild card, wondering if Abhir had honey in the morning, and Abhir silently observes the drama unfold. Sweet, isn’t it?
As for Abhira and Armaan, they’re both stuck in a mental loop of “Will they, won’t they?” Abhira hopes Armaan will call her, while Armaan debates dialing her number. Just as things might’ve gotten interesting, RK calls Abhira—not for court, but to praise food and give her a day off. Suspicious, much? Abhira can’t help but wonder why she’s benched.
The emotional tug-of-war continues. Charu nudges Armaan about missing Abhira, and Armaan snaps. Vidya adds fuel to the fire, asking if Abhira still occupies his thoughts. Armaan tries to convince Vidya—and maybe himself—that he’s moved on, but Madhav overhears and channels his inner Hulk. Someone grab the popcorn!
Meanwhile, Manisha gets into it with Kiara over her feelings for Abhir. Kiara’s confession of love sets off Manisha, who loses her cool and blames Krish for enabling Kiara’s dreamy escapades. Vidya steps in, questioning if this is about Kiara’s marriage, but Manisha dodges and warns Kiara to steer clear of Abhir. Subtlety? Never heard of it.
Madhav and Armaan go head-to-head over Abhira. Madhav urges Armaan to stop blindly following Vidya’s opinions, but Armaan remains loyal to Vidya. He declares that if Vidya thinks Abhira isn’t the one, then that’s the final word. Love triangle? Try love pentagon.
RK questions Abhira about claiming alimony. Abhira claps back, refusing to tarnish their past relationship and taunting RK’s financial priorities. RK defends himself, revealing money is needed for treatment. As the episode wraps, Abhira meets RK’s mother. Drama? Always.
