In the February 5 episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai on Star Plus, Rashmi tells Akshara that everyone back home wants her to return and assures her that she will be welcomed with open arms. However, Akshara refuses to answer Rashmi and sends her back home after signing the papers which required her signatures.
Rashmi's departure without Akshara raises Nani's doubts as she questions Rajshri whether Akshara is staying at her parent's home for some specific reason. Rajshri manages to conceal the truth and says that Akshara will be staying with them for a few days.
Meanwhile, Rashmi returns home and tells her family that Akshara's parents have not told Nani the truth behind Akshara's presence in their home. She says that Akshara is waiting with bated breath for Naitik to call her and bring her back home.
