Yeh Rishtey Hain Pyaar Ke: Mehul asks for Mishti’s hand in marriage for Abir

MUMBAI: The episode begins with Mehul taking Abir along with him to give him his surprise. Meanwhile, Varsha shows Rajshri the pearl necklace she got made for Mishti. She also apologises to Rajshri for her behaviour earlier. Rajshri hugs and forgives her. The bell rings and they see Abir and Mehul at their doorstep. Mehul apologises for showing up without informing but the Maheshwari’s welcome them warmly. Mishti comes back home and wonders why would Kuhu talk to Ananya about her friend’s marriage when her friend is perfectly happy with her marriage. She decides to call up Kuhu and ask her but as she dials Kuhu’s number she gets distracted on seeing Abir’s car parked in front of her house.

Mehul talks to Vishambhar and says that he’s here to ask for Mishti’s hand in marriage for Abir. Abir is surprised and so is everyone else. Mehul tells him that he wasn’t there to fulfill his responsibilities, which is why he wanted to take this step for him. Mishti arrives there and forgets that she had called Kuhu but Kuhu picks up the call and hears the conversation going on. She listens to Mehul asking for Mishti’s hand in marriage for Abir. Abir thinks that they should’ve discussed this with the family before they came here. Mishti also agrees with him. Mehul assures them that he will talk to Meenakshi and Yashpal for them. Vishambhar tells him that they already approve Abir and Mishti’s relationship. They give Abir their blessings. Varsha hugs Mishti later.

Kuhu overhears everything and cries as she gets worried. Kunal sees her crying and tells her that he knows why she’s crying. Meanwhile, Mishti tells Abir that she suspects some tension between Kuhu and Kunal and Varsha returned home crying father yesterday’s incident. Kunal tells Kuhu that they will not fight anymore because his family is going through a lot right now and they should focus on making everyone happy. Kuhu agrees but she worries as she knows that in a while Mehul will come to reveal about Abir and Mishti’s alliance and there will be tension back in the house. Later, Mehul tells Abir that he took this step because he was worried that Meenakshi wouldn’t let him be a part of Abir’s marriage. Abir hugs him and tells him that he would’ve never let anything like that happen. Later, the Rajvansh family gathers to practice dandiya for Navratri. After a while, Kuhu sees Meenakshi and goes to talk to her about Abir but she hesitates and doesn’t say anything. Abir arrives there and says that he will tell everyone what happened. He tells them that Mehul wanted to surprise him so they went to Maheshwari’s and he fixed his marriage with Mishti. Everyone gets shocked after hearing this.
