Abhira’s Pain as Pookie Goes Missing:
The episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai 18 May 2025 Written Update begins with a tense scene. Madhav, a senior inspector, stops cartons from leaving a place. He orders his team to search for Pookie, a missing baby. Abhira and Arman, her husband, are desperate to find their daughter. Madhav tells his men to check every carton carefully. Sanjay is asked to ensure no carton leaves the area. Everyone is worried. Abhira shouts for Pookie, calling her “my baby.” She believes Pookie is hidden in one of the cartons. Arman finds a carton and promises Pookie she is safe. He says, “Papa is here, I won’t let anything happen to you.” But soon, Arman feels Pookie might not be in the garden area. The search continues with more cartons being checked.
Abhira is in pain and bleeding, but she refuses to go to the hospital. She says, “I need my baby. Without her, I’ll die.” Arman gets angry and blames Abhira for losing Pookie. He shouts, “Why did you leave her alone?” Abhira cries, saying she will find her daughter no matter what. Arman’s anger grows. He tells Abhira she has no connection with Pookie because she didn hullabaloo. He calls her careless and says Pookie was safe with him, but not with her. Kajal defends Abhira, saying she is also Pookie’s mother. Manisha supports Abhira, explaining that mothers through surrogacy or adoption love their children deeply. Kaveri calls Arman’s thinking old-fashioned.
Arman insists his anger is only at Abhira. He calls her a bad mother. Vidya tries to defend Abhira, saying she saved Pookie from danger. But Arman dismisses Vidya as a stepmother. He accuses the Poddar family of using him. Angry, Vidya tells Arman to leave if he can’t value Abhira or the family. Arman storms out, leaving Abhira shocked.
Abhira keeps searching for Pookie. She puts up posters with Pookie’s picture, begging people to call if they see her. She cries, “These posters will help me find my Pookie.” When someone tries to remove them, Abhira shouts, “Don’t touch my baby’s posters!” She breaks down, praying to God and her late mother, Akshara, to save Pookie. She says, “If God is angry with me, punish me, not my little doll.” Abhira worries Pookie can’t speak or ask for food if she’s hungry. Manish and Ruhi try to comfort her. Abhira blames herself, saying, “Arman was right. I’m a bad mother.” Ruhi tells her to stay strong for Pookie. Abhira begs Manish and Ruhi to find her baby. She says, “I’ll die without her.”
Abhira pleads with Pookie to come back. She promises, “If you want to stay with Papa and not me, I’ll accept it. Just come back.” She cries, saying she’ll watch Pookie from afar if that’s what her daughter wants. Manish says no child can stay angry with their mother. Abhira regrets taking Pookie out, saying, “It’s my fault.” She asks Manish to bring Pookie back, crying, “I can’t live without her.”
Later, Arman’s letter arrives. It says he is ending their relationship. He writes, “You broke my heart and trust by not caring for Pookie. Our bond is over.” Arman burns the family chair, vowing never to accept Abhira again. Abhira is heartbroken, feeling she has lost everything. Previous Episode
Review
This episode is full of emotions. Abhira’s pain as a mother is clear in her cries and prayers for Pookie. Her love for her daughter is strong, even when she’s hurt and bleeding. Arman’s anger shows his fear for Pookie, but his harsh words to Abhira feel unfair. The family’s support for Abhira, especially from Kajal, Manisha, and Vidya, highlights the value of unity. Arman’s decision to leave and end his marriage adds drama. The episode captures Indian family values—love, duty, and sacrifice—but also shows how anger can break bonds. The search for Pookie keeps viewers hooked, wondering if she’ll be found.
Next Episode Prediction
The next episode might show whether Pookie is found. Abhira could continue her search, maybe finding a clue about Pookie’s location. Arman might regret his harsh words and try to help. The Poddars and Goenkas could unite to support Abhira, showing family strength. There could be a twist, like someone spotting Pookie because of the posters. Abhira and Arman might face more challenges in their relationship, but hope for Pookie’s return will keep them going.
