Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Armaan stuns the family in court; wins Poddar house back for Dadi Sa
In the latest episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, viewers witnessed a dramatic courtroom showdown that not only brought justice but also emotional closure for the Poddar family. The episode opened with palpable tension as Abhira (Samridhii Shukla), Kaveri, Vidya, and the rest of the family sat in anxious anticipation of the hearing. The surprise of the day, however, came in the form of Armaan (Rohit Purohit), whose unexpected arrival at court left everyone stunned. Dressed sharply in formal lawyer attire, Armaan's confident entry marked a turning point in the narrative. Until that moment, Krish had stepped up to represent Sanjay Bansal, citing his absence. However, Armaan's sudden presence shifted the dynamics entirely. The family, caught off guard, saw a new side of Armaan – calm, composed, and fiercely determined. Without wasting a moment, Armaan took control of the proceedings. He began by calling Sanjay Bansal to the witness box, allowing him to recount his version of the events that led to Krish taking over the Poddar house. Listening carefully, Armaan responded with sharp counterarguments and meticulously presented evidence that dismantled Sanjay's claims point by point. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your donations can help this little boy see again clearly Donate For Health Donate Now Undo What followed was a compelling display of Armaan's legal acumen and emotional conviction.

'She's My Bahu': Karisma Kapoor Was ‘Family' To Amitabh Bachchan Before Engagement To Abhishek Bachchan
Last Updated: Before Karisma Kapoor married Sunjay Kapur, she was engaged to Abhishek Bachchan. Amitabh Bachchan had once opened up on welcoming her as the Bachchan bahu. Long before Karisma Kapoor married Sunjay Kapur, and long before her name was tied to headlines for anything else, she was just a step away from officially becoming a Bachchan. In an old interview, Amitabh Bachchan opened up about his son Abhishek's then-upcoming wedding plans with Karisma Kapoor — a wedding that, as we know today, never happened. Back then, things were moving slowly, but surely. When asked whether Abhishek and Karisma's wedding would be a big, star-studded affair, Amitabh told Rediff, 'Not necessarily. The two families have to sit down together and see what kind of a wedding we both want, work out a date, etc. Babita [Karisma's mother] is away in New Zealand with her younger daughter Kareena." Both families were spread out across the globe due to work commitments. Kareena and Abhishek were shooting together in New Zealand for Sooraj Barjatya's Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon, while Karisma's father Randhir Kapoor was in Mauritius shooting Armaan, a film that also featured Amitabh Bachchan. 'As soon as they return, we will sit down to find out what we want and what the kids have in mind. Then we will go ahead with the wedding," he had said at the time. For Amitabh, the engagement itself had already felt like the biggest celebration. He had said, 'What better gift for my birthday than to see my son engaged? If both families agree then we shall certainly do it. It all depends on what Daboo and Babita want." But the most memorable moment from the interview was when Amitabh referred to Karisma not as a future daughter-in-law, but already part of the family. 'To be very honest, as far as I am concerned, for all practical purposes Lolo [Karisma] has already come home. She is my bahu, and part of our home. But yes, certain formalities have to be obviously observed." As for the wedding date, everything seemed to hinge on logistics. He said, 'As soon as we arrive at a mutually convenient date. I will have to take the opinion of all concerned. These are all social formalities. Like I said, for me, Lolo is already part of our family." However, things didn't go as planned. The engagement was eventually called off, and years later, Karisma married Sunjay Kapur. Karisma married Sunjay in 2003, and they have two children named Kiaan and Samaira Kapoor. Their marriage ended in divorce, and Sunjay passed away in June 2025. Abhishek Bachchan married Aishwarya Rai in 2007, and they have a daughter named Aaradhya Bachchan.
