Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai – 18th November 2024 Episode Update: Abhira Navigates Baby’s Care Amid Emotional Struggles

The episode begins with Abhira holding their newborn, overwhelmed with both joy and the weight of the emotional strain around them. While the couple finds comfort in having their baby back, tension is thick in the air. Just as Rohit attempts to escalate matters, Armaan steps in, stopping him. Meanwhile, Ruhi, grappling with her intense emotions, walks off in distress.

Vidya, noticing Ruhi’s troubled behavior, voices her concern, recognizing the deep grief Ruhi is experiencing, but also acknowledging that her anger towards the baby is troubling. Abhira, though understanding of Ruhi’s sorrow, struggles to comprehend how her emotional state could justify hurting the child.

Elsewhere, Ruhi is alone, consumed by grief over the loss of her own child. She cries, torn between the overwhelming sadness of her loss and her inability to accept the presence of Abhira’s baby. Manish enters and gently tries to comfort her, advising that rejecting the baby will only deepen her own pain, urging her to find a way to heal and move forward.

Rohit, deeply concerned, shares his frustration with Armaan about Ruhi’s refusal to accept the baby, noting how it is affecting everyone around her. While Armaan expresses sympathy for Ruhi’s personal tragedy, he reminds Rohit that no one can truly understand the depth of her pain. Rohit, however, struggles with watching Ruhi cling to her grief and refuses to move on. Armaan, remaining calm, reassures him that Ruhi just needs time and space to heal, and with time, she will likely find a way to accept the baby.

Back at home, Abhira are struggling with their own emotions. Abhira is visibly upset after Ruhi’s harsh comments and bursts into tears, feeling the emotional toll of the situation. Armaan, always by her side, comforts her, assuring her that they will get through this difficult time together. Although Abhira is overjoyed to have BSP back, the weight of the responsibility is overwhelming. She jokingly talks about taking a thousand pictures of her baby, but acknowledges the need for privacy, promising not to share any online. She imagines a future where BSP becomes a star with endorsement deals, and Armaan laughs, reminding her to relax and enjoy the present. Before leaving for work, he gives BSP a tender kiss and tells Abhira to reach out if she needs anything.

After Armaan leaves, Abhira takes a moment to capture a few serene photos of BSP sleeping, trying to preserve these precious memories. Meanwhile, Aryan practices hockey with Krish, but Krish notices his friend’s distracted mood. Although Krish senses something is wrong, he doesn’t push Aryan for answers. Aryan remains quiet, his mind clouded with past memories, and the two continue their practice in silence.

Later that night, Abhira, exhausted from trying to soothe the baby, falls into a troubled sleep. She wakes up in a panic, disturbed by a dream where she imagines Ruhi taking BSP away. Frantic, she rushes to check on her baby, only to find him safe. Meanwhile, Ruhi’s emotional battle continues. Rohit knocks on her door, gently urging her to open up, but Ruhi remains closed off, unable to confront her emotions.

As the night goes on, Abhira struggles to feed BSP, feeling helpless as the baby continues to have difficulty eating. She calls the doctor for advice, but remains uncertain about how to proceed. When Rohit enters, he notices that Abhira is repeatedly changing clothes and seems unsettled. He questions her, but Abhira admits that she feels guilty about not being able to care for her baby properly. Ruhi, still reeling from her own grief, expresses her anguish over the fact that she no longer has her own child, and though Rohit tries to comfort her, she lashes out in frustration, overwhelmed by her emotions.

The next morning, Abhira continues to struggle with calming BSP. As she desperately tries various methods, Dadi and the rest of the family arrive to offer support. Vidya, understanding the pressures Abhira is under, reassures her, explaining that issues like these are common for new mothers, often linked to stress and emotional exhaustion. Dadi shares her own experiences of newborn struggles, offering comforting words to Abhira. Kajal also joins in, recalling her own difficulties with breastfeeding, and encourages Abhira not to lose hope.

Despite the support, the baby’s hunger remains a serious issue, and Abhira grows more frustrated and upset. Vidya insists that they need to take action quickly to resolve the problem. Feeling overwhelmed, Abhira steps away to gather her thoughts. Meanwhile, Ruhi visits the doctor, still consumed by her emotional turmoil. She argues with the doctor, demanding a solution for her pain, but the doctor patiently explains that emotional healing cannot be rushed and advises her to remain calm. When Ruhi insists on medication, the doctor gently informs her that there are no quick fixes for emotional grief.

Later, Armaan returns home, concerned about the tension surrounding Ruhi and Abhira. He finds Abhira preparing to consult a doctor about her breastfeeding difficulties, and Rohit suggests she speak to Ruhi’s doctor, as Ruhi has already seen the same physician. Armaan agrees but remains anxious, hoping for a resolution soon. Abhira, feeling physically and emotionally drained, pleads with the doctor for help, desperate to find a way to care for her baby.

In the precap, Sanjay is seen discussing something important with Dadi, while Abhira makes a firm resolution to never live without her child. She vows to juggle both her responsibilities at work and caring for BSP, no matter what challenges lie ahead.
