Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai Today Episode: In tonight's (May 12) episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Armaan surprises Abhira with a heartfelt gesture on the occasion of Mother's Day - he gifts her a pair of beautiful heels, reminding her how she never wore them back when Ruhi was pregnant with Pookie.

Touched by the thoughtfulness, Abhira smiles warmly, but her happiness is short-lived. Armaan quickly interjects, stating she shouldn't wear heels now either, given she's carrying Pookie. His overprotective tone dampens her joy, leaving Abhira visibly disheartened.

YEH RISHTA KYA KEHLATA HAI MAY 12 WRITTEN UPDATE: HERE'S WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN TODAY'S EPISODE

As the day progresses, the Poddar family comes together to celebrate Mother's Day. Warm wishes are exchanged, and amidst the cheer, Armaan's possessiveness over Pookie becomes more evident. Charu and Kiara announce a pampering treat for the women-home-based manicure and pedicure sessions-while the men are tasked with preparing a special meal. However, the men are soon left baffled and overwhelmed upon hearing the extensive list of dishes. Charu and Kiara promise to lend a helping hand, bringing a bit of relief.

While in the kitchen, Armaan remains distracted, his eyes constantly drifting towards Pookie, ensuring she is safe and well taken care of. He notices Vidya with Pookie on the sofa and rushes out, anxiously requesting Vidya not to place the baby there. His hyper-vigilance continues as he later interrupts Kaajal and then Manisha, giving unsolicited advice on how to handle Pookie. His overbearing behavior begins to worry the entire family.

Armaan's protectiveness takes a more aggressive turn when he inadvertently hurts Aryan and Manoj, who were merely trying to entertain Pookie with some toys. His actions leave the family concerned and uncomfortable.

ARMAAN'S OVERPROTECTIVENESS FOR POOKIE INCREASES

Later that night, Abhira quietly observes Vidya and Kaajal earnestly trying to learn how to wrap a baby in a blanket through online tutorials, and Manoj browsing the internet for safe toys. She realizes the extent to which the family is trying to adapt and support Armaan's anxiety, even if it means walking on eggshells.

Moved by their efforts, Abhira takes a step to help by getting milk for Pookie. But before she can feed the baby, Armaan stops her, insisting on checking the milk temperature himself, once again exerting control.

The next day, Abhira finally gets a peaceful moment with Pookie. As she cherishes their bonding time, she silently wishes for Armaan to find some calm and return to his normal self, for both his sake and for the peace of the family.
