Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai 23rd August 2026 Written Update: Firefly Festival Mix-Up
Today’s episode starts with Abhira being surprised to see the firefly festival. Arman says he thought Abhira would love the festival more. Abhira thanks Arman for bringing her to the firefly festival and keeping romance alive, while Arman says breathing together is important.
Abhira and Arman Enjoy a Romantic Evening
Myra tells Mukti that she reached the festival and will be back on time. Kabir teases Myra, asking if she came to see his good looks — she says she came with her friends, and Kabir clicks her picture. Meanwhile, Abhira and Arman enjoy the festival together. When flies disturb Arman, the host asks everyone to turn on their flashlights to enjoy the fireflies. Abhira is mesmerized, and Arman tells her she brightens his world, promising he will always burn like a firefly and glow in her life. Abhira, who regretted thinking he had forgotten romance amid responsibilities, hears him say he never did.
The couple gets romantic, enjoying the firefly glow together. Myra, along with her friends, also enjoys the festival nearby — with Kabir quietly capturing her moments. When Myra asks if he will keep clicking, he says otherwise how will he remember it? She advises him to enjoy the moment and capture it in his heart instead.
A Creepy Man Misunderstanding
The evening takes a tense turn when Kabir misunderstands Arman, thinking he is harassing a girl. Unable to see Arman’s face, Kabir tells Myra a creepy person is roaming around and decides to protect her. Abhira calls Mukti, who panics at the thought that Abhira and Arman might bump into Myra and Kabir. When Abhira learns Myra went to a friend’s house, Mukti lies to cover up. Abhira is confused why Myra didn’t inform her, while Arman tells her to stop being a popcorn mother. A man alerts the couple to stay together because a creepy person is around — Arman says he has seen him too.
Close Calls and Missed Calls
Mukti calls Myra to alert her about Abhira and Arman, but Kabir rejects the call. Myra asks Kabir to stop controlling her and questions why he disconnected Mukti’s call — he claims the fireflies will fly away hearing the sound. Arman, meanwhile, feels Myra’s presence. When Abhira asks how Myra could be here, the tension rises.
The Dark Collision
Kabir helps Myra from falling, but she asks him to stop acting like Arman — calling Arman a demon when angry. Myra shouts at Kabir. Arman spots Myra and moves to check. In the dark, Kabir mistakes Arman for the creepy man and hits him; Arman hits back. When Kabir finally sees it is Arman, he runs away.
Myra quickly learns that Abhira and Arman are at the same place and is shocked, deciding to head back home. Kabir, watching from a distance, finds Arman and Abhira cute as they still go on a date. But Abhira spots Myra and is stunned.
Lies After the Festival
Abhira helps Arman with his wound, but he says he won’t spare the person who hit him — hiding from her that it was Kabir. There, Samar tells someone he has planned a surprise. Kabir returns home where Samar asks who hit him; Kabir says he has already dealt with the person, and Samar tells him he deserves all the happiness and shouldn’t speak badly about himself.
At home, Abhira confronts Myra about sneaking to the firefly festival. Myra explains why she hid the truth, and Abhira scolds both Myra and Mukti. Mukti complains that because of Myra she is getting scolded too. Both realize Abhira is still clueless that Kabir was at the festival too, and Arman is hiding his face-off with him. Myra and Mukti decide they must convince Abhira first.
