Today's episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai starts with Naira(Shivangi Joshi) and Kartik(Mohsin Khan) returning home from the temple as they reminisce the times spent together.

They imagine each other as the ride through the road. At Goenka house and Singhania house, it has become difficult to handle Mansi and Anmol respectively.

They refuse to listen to anyone, and they say that no one in the family care for their happiness. Nandini asks her mother-in-law to stop giving hopes to Anmol as they will never agree to this marriage.

Naira and Kartik try to speak to the young people, but they refuse to listen. Swarna asks Kartik why he was late in returning. Kartik and Naira tell the family that they are supposed to meet their lawyers that evening.

Naira and Kartik arrive at the advocate's office. The two lawyers discuss how couples today file for divorce but withdraw it soon after as they realise what they are going to let go off.

Naira holds an umbrella for Kartik as he staggers on his way and loses his umbrella. They walk to the office in the rain as Naira staggers too and Kartik holds her. They walk into the office.

Naksh, Naitik and Kirti watch them as also Manish and Akhilesh. They all hope that these two somehow run away from their divorce. Kartik and Naira sit down with their lawyers as Kartik notices that Naira is cold.

He switches the AC off. He explains that he did it for himself. Naira knows that Kartik drinks coffee as the peon gets tea for him. The lawyers ask the two of them if they are mentally sure of this divorce as the judge should not see any hopes in the marriage or else their case will go on hold.

Naira and Kartik say that they are clear. They remember the last time they met outside the Goenka house where they had claimed to hate each other. They are asked to sign the papers so the case can be filed in court, but soon they receive a call each and run away from the office.

The family waiting outside see them run and are elated. Soon Naksh receives a call from Devyani who tells him that Mansi and Anmol have eloped. Swarna blames the Singhanias saying Mansi could never have done this and this family is used to playing with lives.

Dadi is furious that Mansi will cause a bad name for the family and now no one will marry her as already she has an accident case in her name. Rukhmani is the only one happy about the elopement.

Naira and Kartik speak about how the tensions between the families will now increase and decide they will not let any more relationships go wrong. They spot Anmol and Mnasi driving away and follow them.

They reach a shady hotel. They threaten the receptionist into revealing to them the room number where Anmol and Mansi are lodged. Soon the police raid the place and Kartik and Naira are worried about what would happen if the two get caught in the hotel. Finally, they manage to find the two but soon hear the police coming up.
