In the February 1 episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai on Star Plus, Rajbana has a word with Naitik in an attempt to bring an end to their domestic crisis as soon as possible. Rajbana tells Naitik that though he may be right for being angry at Akshara, he is wrong by blaming only her for and not Nandini for making the mistake in the first place.
Nandini calls Akshara and asks her to return home. Nandini feels that Akshara's refusal to return home is only because of her foolish pride. But Akshara says that it is not her pride but her faith in Naitik that is making her stay with her parents since she knows that Naitik will come to take her home.
Shaurya and Varsha take Akshara out to bring some cheer in her life. Coincidentally, their car stalls right in front of Naitik's car at a traffic jam. Akshara gets out of the car to speak with Naitik. But she is horrified when Naitik takes one look at her and drives away.Produced by Rajan Shahi's Director's Kut, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai is aired Monday to Friday on Star Plus.
