In the May 21 episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, emotions run high as Maira’s birthday brings Armaan and Abhira together in spirit, even though they are miles apart. The young and cheerful Maira, lovingly called Pookie, is full of excitement for her special day. However, she understands that throwing a birthday party requires money—something her family currently lacks.
Maira’s Sweet Plan With Dadu
Not one to give up, Maira comes up with a clever plan. Along with her caring Dadu (Susheel Parashar), she sets up a small umbrella rental stand. The duo hopes to earn enough to celebrate the day in a simple yet memorable way. Their efforts reflect not just innocence, but also the warmth of familial love and support.
Armaan’s Emotional Journey
On the other side, Armaan (Rohit Purohit) is struggling at work as a radio jockey. He accidentally falls asleep during his shift, and his angry boss wakes him by splashing water on him. But Armaan isn’t bothered—his focus is entirely on Maira. He has handmade a birthday card and now wants to make the day even more special.

To surprise Maira, Armaan asks for a salary advance and rushes to a toy store to buy her a giant teddy bear. However, the shopkeeper refuses to sell it as someone else offered more money. Armaan doesn’t give up and insists on buying the toy. After a tense argument, he finally gets the teddy bear, showing how far a father can go for his daughter’s happiness.
A Touching Reunion at Home
Maira eagerly waits for Armaan to return home. When he finally does, she immediately notices a scratch on his hand, probably from the earlier scuffle. In a heartwarming scene, she brings haldi paste and applies it gently, showing deep care and love for her father. Their bond shines through this simple but emotional moment.
Abhira’s Thoughtful Celebrations
Meanwhile, Abhira (Samridhii Shukla) is at home, decorating and preparing for the celebration. Alongside Vidya and Dadi Sa, she creates a joyful atmosphere and cuts the birthday cake. However, Armaan suddenly realizes that he forgot to bring a proper cake in the middle of all the chaos.
Seeing him upset, Geetanjali (Ruheen Ali Khan) steps in with a quick solution. With creativity and affection, she makes an improvised cake from bread and Nutella. Though not perfect, this unique cake holds more emotional value than any store-bought dessert. It’s the love behind it that makes it special.
