Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Naira fears that Kartik would consider Kairav to be illegitimate

MUMBAI: The episode sees Naira being delighted to see Kartik paying a visit to Kairav. Later, she makes a request to Kartik. Kairav lets Kartik go to Udaipur but takes a promise from him that he would return soon. Kartik feels sad to lie to Kairav but as he had no choice, he leaves from there. Lisa catches hold of Naira and demanded to know why she was hiding from the imposter man. Seeing Lisa adamant about knowing the truth, Naira tells Lisa that it wasn't some fake father but Kartik. Lisa gets shocked to learn the truth and asks Naira how she will deal with the situation. She also tries to knock sense in Naira and tells her that if Kartik could love a stranger so much, he would go head over heels when he would learn that Kairav was his own child. Naira tells Lisa that irrespective of how she found Kartik, she could not reveal the truth that she was alive and that they had a child, as when she met with an accident, she had not told Kartik about her pregnancy. Naira also tells Lisa that Kartik would not trust her and take Kairav as his child. Also, she feared that Kartik would consider Kairav to be illegitimate and their special bond would break. Lisa could not understand why it was so difficult for Kartik to believe on Naira and not believe that Kairav could be his child. Naira denied to answer the question and tells Lisa that it was too personal and that it was about her self-respect.

On the other hand, Suhasini explains Vedika that Kartik did not need a friend but a life partner and that her decision to make friends with him might back fire. Suwarna defends Vedika and tells Suhasini that she needed to not rush with anything, as it would only leave Kartik want to drift apart. Suhasini doesn't pay heed to what Suwarna had to offer and tells Vedika that she was causing delay unnecessarily. Vedika denied to rush Kartik for a relationship and tells Suhasini that she was not ready to use his friendship and trust for anything that he did not want to do. Manish tells Suhasini that if she had anything to say, she should explain Kartik and not pressurize Vedika for anything. Earlier, Suhasini had met the Pandit, who had told her to get Kartik married soon, as according to his astrological charts, his wife would help him come out of the troubles that may surround him.

Meanwhile, to settle her pending bills, Naira rents her scooty to a man in return for some cash and comes to drop the vehicle at the spot, where she accidentally comes in front of a car.

Here, Kartik was prepared to check out from the hotel, just when Akhil arrives in a shocked state. Kartik asks him about his miseries when Akhil was still in a state of shock.
