Today's episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai starts with Suhasini forbidding Naira(Shivangi Joshi) to attend the engagement if she is not returning to the Goenka house as the daughter in law.
Naitik is left aghast at this and Naira cries on his shoulders. Naira asks him if she has no rights to take decisions of her own if no one will ever stop blaming her.
Naitik says that he stands with her and he does not want her to do anything that she does not wish to do. Kartik(Mohsin Khan) is seen busy with the engagement preparations as he gets irritated at the workers.
The workers talk amongst themselves that Kartik gets irritated at the slightest of things these days and that probably he should get married again. Swarna hears this conversation.
Suhasini is irritated that none of the work here is going as it should. Kirti walks in and says that she is here to help. Kirti says that Naira has sent her here and Naira will handle everything over there.
Sulekha praises Naira for her presence of mind and Suhasini is still not convinced. Suhasini says that it should be the daughter in law who works for the family, or else people start making up stories. Kartik asks Kirti to help Mansi get ready.
Naira packs up the things and prepares the family for the engagement. She refuses to go even as Nandini asks her to. Naksh urges Nandini not to force Naira.
The Goenkas see that Naira is not a part of the function and Suhasini feels angry. Swarna is relieved and so is Sulekha as she did not want Swarna to create any drama in the function.
Kartik sees the rings he purchased, and Rukhmini explains that Naira decorated the box. Kartik feels angry that Naira did so much drama for nothing and now she has not even come for the function.
Manish and the kids are wondering how to get Naira to the function when Naitik says that she is coming. Manish tells Naitik that they cannot give up on Kartik and Naira yet and they have to try to get them together again.
Naira finally arrives, but as she walks in, she faces the demons from the past. She remembers Swarna stopping her from entering the house. Eventually, though she snaps, and she stands against Swarna and says that she will now no more be taunted.
She says that she is here to attend her brother engagement which she will. Naira walks in, and she bumps into Kartik. Kartik taunts her and welcomes her. Naira retorts sharply and walks in.
Later she stops and feels emotional. Kartik asks her why is she acting out emotions that she has stopped feeling. Naira tells him that she has nothing to do with him anymore and so she does not even need his advise.
Later Naira bumps into Swarna as she is looking at Shubham's picture. The family is shocked to see them stand face to face after years.
