The latest episode of “Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai,” aired on March 24, 2025, brought a wave of drama that fans won’t forget anytime soon. Episode 1601 turned Manisha’s birthday celebration into a tense moment when Ruhi suddenly fainted, leaving the Poddar family in a state of panic. With Abhira and Armaan present at the event, the day started with fun but quickly shifted to worry. Here’s a detailed look at what happened in this gripping update.
The episode kicks off with a lively scene at the Poddar house. Manisha’s birthday party is in full swing, and the family is excited. Abhira, played by Samridhii Shukla, and Armaan, portrayed by Rohit Purohit, join the celebration. Everyone is in high spirits, ready to make the day special for Manisha. The mood is light as the family decides to play a classic game of Seven Stones, also known as Pithu. Laughter fills the air as they split into teams. Abhira and Armaan team up, showing their playful chemistry. The game gets competitive, and the family enjoys every moment.
Manisha, the birthday star, is thrilled to see everyone together. She had insisted on inviting Abhira and Armaan, despite some lingering family tensions. Her efforts pay off as the party starts on a happy note. The Seven Stones game brings out smiles and cheers. Even Kaveri, the stern matriarch, watches with a rare softness in her eyes. For a while, it feels like the Poddar family has put their differences aside. Abhira stacks the stones carefully, while Armaan tries to distract the other team. The scene is full of fun and bonding.
But the joy doesn’t last long. Out of nowhere, Ruhi collapses during the game. One minute, she’s standing, watching the action, and the next, she’s on the ground. The family freezes in shock. Armaan is the first to react. He drops everything and rushes to her side. His face shows pure concern as he calls her name. Abhira follows close behind, her heart racing. The game stops instantly, and the cheerful mood turns into chaos. Manisha’s birthday celebration takes a backseat as everyone surrounds Ruhi, unsure of what’s wrong.
Armaan lifts Ruhi gently, trying to wake her up. Her face is pale, and she doesn’t respond. Abhira kneels beside them, her hands trembling. She looks at Armaan, searching for answers, but he’s just as confused. The family starts asking questions all at once. “What happened?” “Is she okay?” Swarna, who’s been keeping an eye on Ruhi lately, looks especially worried. Kaveri steps forward, her calm voice cutting through the noise. She tells them to call a doctor right away. The urgency in her tone shows how serious this is.
While they wait for the doctor, the tension grows. Some family members whisper among themselves. Could this be linked to Ruhi’s recent stress? She’s been caught up in talks about surrogacy with Armaan and Abhira. The idea of her carrying their child has been a heavy topic. Abhira feels a pang of guilt, wondering if she’s to blame. She had pushed for Ruhi to be the surrogate, thinking it would bring the family closer. Now, seeing Ruhi unconscious, she’s not so sure. Armaan stays by Ruhi’s side, holding her hand, his worry clear to everyone.
The doctor arrives quickly and checks Ruhi. The family watches in silence, holding their breath. He says she’s stable but needs rest. He doesn’t give a full reason for her fainting yet, promising to run some tests. This leaves everyone hanging, with more questions than answers. Armaan helps move Ruhi to a bed, while Abhira stands back, lost in thought. Manisha, still shaken, tries to comfort the others. Her birthday has turned into a nightmare, and she can’t hide her concern for Ruhi.
Social media lights up as fans react to the episode. Posts on X show the buzz around Ruhi’s collapse. One viewer wrote, “Ruhi fainting at Manisha’s party—didn’t see that coming! Is she okay?” Another posted, “Abhira and Armaan looked so scared. What’s happening with Ruhi?” The hashtag #YRKKH trends as people share their shock and theories. Some wonder if this ties back to the surrogacy drama. The suspense is keeping everyone hooked.
The episode ends on a cliffhanger. Ruhi lies still, the doctor’s words echoing in the air. Armaan and Abhira exchange a look, both feeling the weight of the moment. Kaveri’s sharp gaze hints she’s piecing things together. Swarna stays close to Ruhi, her maternal instincts kicking in. The Seven Stones game, once a symbol of fun, now feels like a distant memory. The Poddar house is quiet, the celebration forgotten. Fans are left wondering what’s next for Ruhi and the family.
