Abhira-Arman Clash Over Pookie’s Care:
The episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai 14 May 2025 Written Update begins with a big surprise in the Poddar house. Arman brings Koyal, a nanny, to help take care of baby Pookie. Koyal says she has seven years of experience and has handled five children alone, even taking them to doctors when parents are busy. Abhira is shocked because Arman didn’t talk to her before making this decision. She feels hurt and asks why they need a nanny when she’s on maternity leave and Arman isn’t going to the office. Arman explains that Abhira seems stressed, and he wants to help her rest. He says Koyal is a professional who can handle babies well. But Abhira disagrees. She feels Arman doesn’t trust her to take care of Pookie. She politely sends Koyal away, saying they don’t need extra help.
The argument between Abhira and Arman grows bigger. Abhira says Arman is too protective and acts like Pookie is in danger at home. She feels he’s taking her responsibility as a mother and giving it to a stranger. Arman insists he’s only trying to make her life easier. Abhira asks him to discuss things with her first, as they are a team. She points out that Ruhi, a single mother, doesn’t use a nanny for her son Daksh, so why should they? Arman gets upset and feels Abhira is overreacting. He decides to go to the office, saying Abhira thinks he’s too worried about Pookie. Abhira tries to stop him, but he leaves.
Vidya tries to calm Abhira, saying Arman only wants to help. But Manisha supports Abhira, saying Arman and Vidya should check if Abhira wants help before deciding for her. Kaveri scolds Vidya for interfering and tells her to let Arman and Abhira handle their problems. Kaveri feels Abhira deserves time to gain confidence as a mother. Vidya realizes her mistake and promises to talk to the couple, but Kaveri warns her to stay out of it.
Later, Abhira tries to talk to Arman again, but he’s still angry. He feels hurt because Abhira called him overprotective in front of everyone. Abhira says they shouldn’t fight over Pookie, but Arman storms off to the office. Alone with Pookie, Abhira talks sweetly to her baby, calling Arman a “khadoos” (grumpy) dad whose anger fades quickly. She promises Pookie that Arman loves them both and will come back in a good mood.
The mood lightens when Ruhi, Swarna, Surekha, and Manish visit. Ruhi and Abhira encourage Daksh and Pookie to meet, creating a cute moment. Swarna notices Abhira is hiding her pain from the fight with Arman. Ruhi advises Abhira to stand up to Arman but also stay calm, as one of them needs to be patient. Abhira plays with Pookie, who grabs her earring, making her laugh. She calls them “mamma’s matching pair.”
At the office, Arman is welcomed back by his colleague Amit, who teases him about returning so soon from paternity leave. They order pizza, but Arman is distracted, still worried about Pookie. Back home, Pookie suddenly gets a high fever, and Abhira panics. Manisha, Kajal, Charu, and Kiara try to calm her. The doctor says it’s normal for babies to get fevers and suggests placing a warm cloth on Pookie’s forehead. Abhira is still scared and wants to call another doctor, but Manisha assures her Pookie will be fine.
When Arman learns about the fever, he rushes home and blames Abhira for not handling Pookie well. He says she couldn’t manage alone and that’s why he wanted a nanny. Charu defends Abhira, saying she’s doing everything Arman does. The doctor repeats that fevers are normal, but Arman is furious. He shocks everyone by saying Pookie is crying because Abhira is like a stranger to her. He claims Pookie misses her surrogate mother, Ruhi, and decides to take the baby to her. Abhira is heartbroken by his words.
Kaveri slaps Arman and scolds him for questioning Abhira’s love as a mother. She reminds him that Ruhi wisely gave Abhira space to bond with Pookie, but Arman is hurting Abhira with his doubts. Kaveri says Abhira is trying her best, but Arman insists Pookie needs more care. Abhira feels like a failure, believing Arman sees her only as a bad mother. Previous Episode
