Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai Today Episode 18 July 2026
Today’s episode begins with Arman deciding to speak to Bhanu later. While walking, he notices a card lying on the ground and picks it up.
The Poddar family cheers for Arman, but Bhanu accuses him of stealing the card. Arman explains that he was only trying to return it. Despite his clarification, the host disqualifies Arman from the competition.
Arman apologizes to Myra and Mukti. Myra comforts him, saying it doesn’t matter because they also lost. Abhira encourages Arman, saying he had actually performed well and maintained his balance throughout the competition. She adds that he is slowly getting better.
Later, Arman says Bhanu was so upset that he refused to even speak to Abhira. Sanjay remarks that this could cost Abhira the Malhotra case.
Elsewhere, a group of girls bullies another girl. Myra steps in to protect her. Tanya tells Myra that she is ruining the fun.
Meanwhile, Kaveri encourages Abhira to participate in the next competition. Abhira refuses, saying she is not in the mood because Bhanu has declined to testify. Kaveri asks whether avoiding the competition will change Bhanu’s decision. Arman also insists that Abhira should take part.
Eventually, Abhira and Shipra join the competition, with Arman and Bhanu supporting them.
The host announces a multitasking challenge and asks the contestants to prove that women excel at handling multiple tasks. Abhira performs brilliantly and wins the round.
At the same time, Mukti notices the bullying girls heading toward Myra. She steps in to protect her, but the girls retaliate by cutting Mukti’s hair.
Shocked, Mukti screams after seeing her hair on the floor. She quickly covers herself with a scarf and tries to hide.
Myra stops Mukti from running away. Arman and Abhira also rush after them to comfort her.
Devastated, Mukti says she cannot show her face to anyone anymore. Myra encourages her, saying she still looks beautiful. However, Mukti tells Myra to stay away from her.
Soon, Mukti’s new hairstyle is revealed. Krish tries to cheer her up, reminding her that hair will eventually grow back. Myra agrees, saying that hair is not what truly matters.
Hurt, Mukti challenges Myra to cut her own hair if she really believes that. Myra is left speechless.
Abhira lovingly tells Mukti that she still looks beautiful. Arman promises to call the best hairstylist for her, but Mukti says she doesn’t want to go anywhere.
To prove her point, Myra decides to cut her own hair and show Mukti that appearance is never more important than a person.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Mukti admits that she feels different from the Poddar family. She fears that people will notice she doesn’t look like Arman or Abhira and will realize she isn’t truly one of them.
Just then, Bhanu reveals to the Poddars that Myra and Mukti had saved his daughter. Moved by their kindness, he agrees to testify in Malhotra’s case.
Arman and Abhira thank both Myra and Mukti for their selfless act. The entire Poddar family is overjoyed.
Abhira hugs Mukti and assures her that she should never think she isn’t their daughter. The Poddars gather around to comfort Mukti and make her feel loved.
Meanwhile, Kajal notices Sanjay watching the emotional family moment. She asks him to stop standing there and tells him to return to his room.
