MUMBAI: The Friday episode of Rajan Shahi's "Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai" started with a scene from Abhimanyu's cabin where he introduces Akshara to an old man who had brought a young boy along. Abhimanyu tells Akshara that the old man runs an orphanage and he used to go there often. The old man tells her that Abhimanyu had adopted a boy from their orphanage. Abhimanyu later tells her that when he used to go to the orphanage with Manjari a young boy held his hand and did not leave him, and they brought him home. He tells her that it's Neil they are talking about. He tells her that he loves Neil a lot, and Akshara replies that he too loves him a lot. 

Meanwhile, Aarohi, who was taking the DNA test reports, bumps into Neil and the papers fall. Once Neil leaves she checks one paper and wonders how Abhimanyu would react if he gets to know the truth. Aarohi is happy to know the truth so that she can play her cards whenever she wants. At the same time, Abhimanyu takes Akshara to a store room, where they spend some quality time together. Abhimanyu tells her that he will meet her after a surgery. When Akshara leaves from there, she meets Aarohi. 

Aarohi tells Akshara that it's been long since they shared a secret and tells her that Harshvardhan has an illegitimate son. Akshara gets shocked hearing this but Aarohi tells her that she is saying this on the basis of the DNA reports. She tells her that 98% match is with Harsh but 0% with Manjari. Akshara asks her who that is, to which she tells her it's Neil. 

Akshara is shocked to hear the truth and goes to Manjari. She tells her that she knows the truth about Neil. Manjari asks her to not share it with anyone. They then see Neil working really hard and get emotional. 

In the upcoming episode, we will see that Neil is crying and he tells Abhimanyu that he is not an orphan. He gives a crumpled piece of paper to Abhimanyu and while he is opening it, Manjari calls Akshara thinking she must have told Neil the truth. Manjari is about to faint. Later, Abhimanyu is outside when he sees another piece of paper and is angry. To know what happens next, keep watching "Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai".
