YRKKH 16th May 2025 Written Update: Armaan’s Obsession. Today in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai written update, the episode opens on a quiet, tender note. Armaan gently tells Abhira to get some rest, choosing to sleep in another room with Pookie. Abhira nods, but as she lies in bed, her thoughts drift only to her baby. Sleep comes, but not peace.
Morning dawns with excitement buzzing through the Poddar household. A family trip is in the air, and everyone’s eager—especially since Pookie’s coming along for her first outing. Amid the cheerful planning, Abhira stands alone, her silence catching Kaveri’s sharp eye. When asked, Abhira murmurs about a fever and how Armaan told her to stay away. But Kaveri doesn’t buy it. She looks Abhira square in the eyes and says, “This doesn’t look like any fever I’ve seen.”
Before things settle, the Goenkas arrive in full vacation spirit, piling out of a bus with loud greetings and high energy. Armaan insists that making this trip special for Pookie is his top priority. Kaveri checks on Ruhi, who seems fine but admits she misses Daksh. With a hint of vulnerability, Kaveri then nudges Ruhi to be there for Abhira, to help her stop hiding behind her pain and start speaking up for herself.
Pookie is passed lovingly from one arm to another, until Armaan takes her from Vidya. But something shifts—when he sees Vidya adjusting Pookie’s bag, he snaps at her, leaving her hurt and stunned. He quickly masks the moment, herds everyone onto the bus, and off they go.
But inside the bus, joy dances around—except for Abhira. Her heart aches as she watches the emotional distance growing between her and Pookie. She confronts Armaan about sitting away from her, but he brushes it off like it doesn’t matter. Wounded, Abhira moves to sit beside Sanjay instead.
The mood inside the bus lifts with singing and laughter… until Armaan abruptly shuts it down, saying Pookie is disturbed. Kaveri isn’t convinced and challenges him—“She looks perfectly fine to me.” Then, in an attempt to lighten the moment, Manish scoops up Pookie and starts dancing with her, laughter echoing. But Armaan’s grip tightens—he snatches her back quickly, not ready to let anyone else come close.
Ruhi watches this unraveling with growing unease. She catches Abhira quietly watching her daughter through a camera feed—reduced to glimpses of love. Ruhi warns her: she needs to step in now, before it’s too late. Armaan, she says, is slipping into something dangerous—an obsession.
Even as cheerful moments weave through the day, the rift between Abhira and her child is painfully clear. Armaan keeps her at arm’s length, inventing reasons, dodging emotions. At one point, he even tells Vidya to change Pookie’s diaper—but the moment turns alarming when Vidya notices they’re being followed. The baby’s caretaker is secretly stalking them. Vidya is shaken and decides to keep it from Abhira—for now.
Later, Abhira once again tries to reach out to her daughter, but Armaan blocks her emotionally at every turn. Eventually, she ends up sitting alone in the bus, cast away from her own baby. Ruhi, fed up, tells Armaan that Abhira needs him too. But his cold reply cuts deep—“Pookie is my only priority.” Ruhi, unwilling to take this anymore, fires back: “But that baby needs her mother more than anything.”
Still, Armaan clings to his belief—that only he can protect Pookie.
That night, Abhira jolts awake from a nightmare—a haunting vision of someone kidnapping Pookie. Her heart thunders with panic as she searches for her baby. In that terrifying moment, something shifts in her spirit. She makes a silent vow:
No one—not even Armaan—will take her daughter away from her.

“Can you bring me a mother?”
