Soon it is revealed that Abhimanyu's half-brother, Neil is actually Harshvarshan's son from an extra-marital affair and Manjari brought him home through adoption to give him motherly and family's love.

Akshara decides to go away from everyone's life and gets in a bus accident. She finds out she is still pregnant as one of her twins survived. Abhimanyu refuses to hear her out, so she is helped by Abhinav, whom she later marries for the sake of her child.

6 years later, Akshara lives with her son, Abhir, and Abhinav in Kasauli while Abhimanyu has taken fatherly responsibilities for Aarohi's daughter Ruhi. Akshara decides to move on with Abhinav, while Abhimanyu is still in love with Akshara. Amidst all this, Kairav and Muskan fall in love and get married while Akshara and Aarohi too mend their relationship. Later on, Abhimanyu learns that Abhir is his son. Abhinav dies on his birthday after falling off a cliff. Abhimanyu is initially blamed for his death, but everyone later realizes it was an accident. Akshara and Abhimanyu decide to marry Abhir, who is in depression after Abhinav's death. During a pre-wedding ceremony, Akshara is revealed to be pregnant with Abhinav's child. Aarohi dies due to Ruhi's mistake, but to save Ruhi from the trauma, Akshara takes the blame on herself. Ruhi starts to hate Akshara, so for Ruhi's sake, she leaves the house. Abhimanyu decides to follow Akshara and support her, so he also cuts contact with everyone. However, on the day of his wedding with Akshara, he and Abhir die in a landslide accident.

22 years later, Akshara, now a lawyer and a resort keeper, lives in Mussoorie with her law aspirant daughter, Abhira. While in Mussoorie with their families, Armaan and Ruhi fall for each other. Ruhi reluctantly marries Armaan's half-brother, Rohit. Akshara is shot by Abhira's stalker, Yuvraj, and asks Armaan to marry Abhira to protect her and dies. Abhira and Armaan enter a one-year contract marriage. While Abhira struggles to adjust to the Poddars, Armaan helps her to continue her law studies, and the two develop a supreme bond of friendship. Rohit eventually learns of Armaan and Ruhi's affair before marriage and leaves the house. Rohit is presumed dead. Ruhi starts getting jealous of Abhira and Armaan's marital life. Later, the Poddars learn about Armaan and Abhira's contract marriage. Despite Abhira being in love with Armaan, Abhira and Armaan get divorced, but they remain unaware that their divorce process never went through.

Later, the Poddars learn about Ruhi and Armaan's relationship before their respective marriages. Kaveri decides to have Ruhi and Armaan marry. Abhira, to save her resort, works as a wedding planner for Ruhi and Armaan's wedding. Armaan realizes his love for Abhira and leaves Ruhi at the altar. Kaveri, Sanjay, Kajal, and Vidya still oppose Abhira, while the rest of the Poddars want to reunite Abhira and Armaan. Madhav supports Abhira and tells her not to forgive Armaan easily. Armaan and Abhira eventually accept each other's love, but Kaveri reveals Armaan and Ruhi's truth. A heartbroken Abhira distrusts and rejects Armaan's love and decides to focus only on her career.

Soon, Abhira graduates and starts working. She learns of Armaan's real mother and Madhav's first wife, Shivani. Madhav confesses that he has moved on and loves Vidya, but has kept Shivani's memories alive for Armaan. In a bid to reunite Madhav and Vidya, Abhira returns to the Poddars unwillingly and starts living in the outhouse with Madhav. Eventually, Madhav and Vidya reunite and they encourage Abhira to accept Armaan's love. Abhira finally forgives Armaan and decides to move on in her life with him by her side. Ruhi becomes obsessed with Armaan meanwhile Rohit comes back home and wants to divorce Ruhi. Soon Kaveri agrees to get Armaan and Abhira married but starts creating challenges for her along with Sanjay and Ruhi amidst marriage rituals. Manish finds out that Abhira is Akshara and Abhinav's daughter and the fact that Akshara is dead. He regrets for not listening to Akshara in her final moments and decides to do Abhira's marriage rituals as her maternal family.

Abhira's medical reports are revealed and it is shown that Abhira has issues with fertility and is unlikely to deliver a healthy baby, due to which Kaveri and Vidya object to their wedding. Armaan remains firm and decides not to leave Abhira. Armaan gives Ruhi a reality check about her obsession with him when she tries to marry him forcefully. Armaan finally gets married with Abhira. However, Vidya curses the couple to have an unsuccessful marriage while Kaveri eventually accepts Abhira and hires her in the Poddar firm.

3 months pass by and Ruhi moves on from Armaan and gets pregnant with Rohit's child. On the other hand, Armaan slips to depression after Vidya's curse and ignores Abhira. Eventually he realises his mistakes and the couple patch up. Ruhi and Abhira develop a sisterly bond, but Sanjay reveals truth about Abhira being Akshara's daughter in front of whole family. This leads to Ruhi hating Abhira again while Goenkas accepts the latter. Soon Kaveri gives Manoj's cabin to Abhira which causes a rift between Abhira-Armaan and Manoj-Manisha.

Abhira is revealed to be pregnant, but she hides her pregnancy from Armaan as she fears that he will ask her to abort. As she feared, when Armaan finds out, he asks her to get an abortion. Abhira goes against his decision and keeps the baby. Eventually Abhira’s pregnancy and the complications with the pregnancy are revealed to the family. The family, minus Vidya and Ruhi, are excited for Abhira’s baby.

Seven months later, Ruhi is on her 9th month when she starts worrying about the gender of the baby. Abhira and Ruhi have a baby shower and Ruhi gets jealous of the attention Abhira is getting, not caring that Abhira is having a complicated pregnancy and she could lose her life. Ruhi wants to give birth to a boy so she can give an heir to the Poddar family, so she leaves to get her baby’s gender checked. Meanwhile, Abhira’s condition becomes critical and she is rushed to the hospital for a c-section. On the other hand, Ruhi gets labor pain and crashes her car, leaving her unconscious. Abhira, Ruhi and their babies are at risk and Armaan and Rohit have to pick who to save between the mother and the baby. They both choose the mother and get the bad news that only one baby survived. Ruhi went into a coma but she gave birth to a healthy baby boy, while Abhira’s son had died in her womb before the surgery.

Considering Ruhi’s critical state and scared about Abhira’s reaction over her loss, Rohit hands over his baby to Abhira. Armaan confronts Rohit but Rohit tells him to support the lie so Abhira won’t be heartbroken. The whole family are told that Ruhi is in coma and she lost her baby. Eventually, Ruhi comes out of coma and has a major breakdown about losing her child. She starts hating Abhira’s baby, not realizing it’s her own baby. Amidst all this, Rohit is getting blackmailed by Abhira’s nurse; she will keep the baby exchange a secret if Rohit gives her money.

Suddenly, a new character is introduced who has a vendetta against the Goenka’s.

Production

Development

Filming of the show began on 11 September 2008.[12] It was launched at Rambagh Palace in Jaipur, Rajasthan. In January 2009, the series was promoted through a campaign at six main cities by StarPlus along with Jagran Solutions. A contest was held in the country among over 1000 married couples out of which fifty of them were selected through events like quizzes and on air test on radios. They were made to remarry with the rituals along with the games and events held in Rambagh Palace.[13]

In January 2010, a sequence was shot without any dialogue, with only background music used during dramatic scenes when the Singhania family learn that the character Akshara motivates the love between her sister-in-law Nandhini and Naitik's friend Mohit, against them.[14]

In January 2013, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai was sent notice by channel for its ending due to decreasing ratings. However it received extension until June 2013 while the ratings rose and the decision of ending was dropped.[15] Besides, twice again it received notice for ending but soon when the ratings increased after it, the plan was dropped and the series continued.

During November 2014, lead Hina Khan could not attend shooting for a few days due to her other work schedules and the track was altered for her absence.[16] In December 2014, a scene where characters Naman and Karishma kiss was cut from the broadcast to avoid offending the show's audience.[17]

The show took its first leap of 4 years on 30 November 2012 after the car accident of Naitik as he slips into a coma.[18] It then took a leap of 10 years on 30 March 2015 after Kaveri banished Akshara from the house owing to Mahendra Pratap's death.[19] Then a leap of some years was taken on 16 May 2016 after teenage Naira running away from her home fearing imprisonment.[20] Another leap of 2 years was taken on 21 May 2018 after Shubam's death as Swarna ousts her.[21] It took a leap of 5 years on 7 June 2019 after Naira leaves the Goenka house on Kartik's misconception about her.[22] On 18 October 2021, The show took a leap of 8 years where Sirat was shown a single mother to Aarohi and Akshara while Kartik was abroad to drop teenaged Kairav and Vansh to hostels. On 27 October 2021, a leap of 12 years was taken after Kartik and Sirat's deaths and the story started focussing on Abhimanyu and grown up Akshara and Aarohi. On 25 August 2022, the show took a leap of 1 year where Akshara was helping Dr. Kunal's sister, Maya, and was living away from her family and Abhimanyu.[23] On 6 January 2023, show took another leap of 6 years and it was shown that while Akshara is raising her son Abhir after legally marrying Abhinav in Kasauli and Aarohi is raising her and Neil's daughter Ruhi as a single mother post Neil's death with Abhimanyu fulfilling her fatherly responsibilities.[24] On 6 November 2023, show took a leap of 22 years after Aarohi, Abhimanyu and Abhir's deaths and started focussing on Akshara's daughter, Abhira, Armaan and grown up Ruhi.[25]

The 10 year leap in March 2015 was slightly delayed as the casting of adult Naksh was not finalised. Producers auditioned over 200 people before choosing Rohan Mehra.[26] In April 2016, both Hina Khan and Karan Mehra refused to play the role as in-laws after the on-going wedding track of their onscreen son Naksh and Tara. Thus, the track was altered such that the wedding was called off.[27]

During January 2017, at the filming of pre-wedding sequences of the lead characters Naira and Kartik, fire broke out on the sets due to a short circuit.[28] Common people were auditioned at Delhi during 4 and 5 February 2017 and cast for Baraati in Naira and Kartik's wedding.[29]

In August 2017, the wedding dress of the character Keerti, for her and Naksh's marriage sequence, was designed by Bollywood fashion designer Neeta Lulla.[30]

Pankhuri Awasthy was cast in June 2019 as Vedika, whose role was supposed to be for three months.[31] However, with the increased ratings, becoming most watched Hindi GEC for few weeks in urban, her role was extended with her exit in January 2020 while in between she took a break in October and re-entered in November 2019.[31][32]

Speaking about Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai's success producer Rajan Shahi said, "Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai doing well is something we have to strive for each and every day. When a show completes this number of episodes, it becomes a challenge as to how to sustain the show. There are so many topics to choose from and there are so many relationships, so that becomes a major challenge, to keep the freshness alive. Drama, intrigue, etc is just a part of storytelling but to still keep the essence alive that is the challenge, it is always a day to day battle".[33] He also quoted that the elaborate festival celebrations shown is the strength of the series.[34]

Speaking about the introduction of transition in the story from Akshara and Naitik to Naira and Kartik, Shahi said, "We were losing out on the young audience when things were going sweet between (original protagonists) Akshara and Naitik. With the introduction of Kartik and Naira -- a couple that is imperfect, makes mistake and learns from the mistakes -- the audience again found a connection with the on-screen characters. That is how our show has stood strong against the test of time".[35] In May 2017 Shahi stated:

"With due respect to both the actors, it is a fact that after Karan left, we could consolidate our position and the TRPs actually increased. After Hina's exit too, the show has grown. This is not to say that they did not contribute to the show, but we were not able to shoot when those two were a part of the show as they had so much baggage. There were just two-three hours of shooting with the lead actors. Now, even if we are given a choice, the writers wouldn't want Akshara back".[36]

For his above statement both Khan and Mehra expressed their displeasure where Khan stated:

"During that time, he went on record to praise both of us for our dedication and professionalism. And honestly, we were probably the only lead pair on television who continued to be with the show for eight consecutive years. Despite the work pressure, disagreements and other work opportunities, we continued to stay loyal to the show and supported the producer. But now that we are not doing the show, he's very conveniently contradicting his own statements".

Mehra stated:

"If he is saying that I worked for two-three hours, he is referring to someone else because my attendance register is the proof. Also, I gave my notice period in advance. I don't know who he has a grudge against and why is he saying it now? I was thanked by the channel and Rajan sir when I quit, so I don't understand how this has emerged now".[36]

In May 2022, actress Pranali Rathod worn a bridal lehenga worth ₹2.5 Lacs approximately for Akshara and Abhimanyu's wedding sequence, the costliest lehenga ever worn by any YRKKH actress.[5] It was also reported that the whole wedding sequence which was shot in Samode Palace of Jaipur costed a budget around ₹2 Crores including whole cast's stay and special Rajasthani traditional costumes, the highest ever budget spent on marriage sequence of any Indian television series.[37]

In March 2024, after the termination of Shehzada Dhami and Pratiksha Honmukhe, Shahi stated:

"I have had a lot of controversies with actors, but I feel nobody is above the show, not even the producer. We have big stakes for a show, but when actors or some newcomers come in and suddenly they get success, which is very short-lived today, they suddenly start taking themselves so seriously. They start believing the world does not exist without them. With fresh talent, they end up coming late on a shift… there is no place in Director’s Kut Production for such people".[38]

Hina Khan was cast to play Akshara Singhania, making her acting debut.[39] Khan stated that she knew nothing about acting while signing the series quoting, "I didn't learn acting from anywhere. I think it's because of luck that I landed up in TV. Even after that I had to do a lot of hard work. It was more difficult for me when I began acting and straight away I had to perform. I never got to learn".[40] Karan Tacker was initially roped for the role of Naitik, but was replaced by Karan Mehra a day before the promo shoot as Tacker became skeptical.[41] Speaking about it producer Rajan Shahi said, "Karan refused to be a part of the show a day and a half prior to shooting the promo. I needed to hunt for a new face on immediate basis. I accidentally met Karan Mehra, a real life replica of my fictitious character Naitik".[42]

In June 2016, Mehra quit the show, because of health issues.[43] Two sequences were shot before his exit: one was his death track and other was his kidnap track and decision was made to take the story with the kidnapping track.[44] Then, he was replaced by Vishal Singh in August 2016, making his entry with the kidnapping sequence in Switzerland.[45][46] In November 2016, Hina Khan quit as her character became monotonous for her and she was shown killed in a car accident.[47] Shivangi Joshi playing Naira and Mohsin Khan playing Kartik, who entered in May 2016, became the leads as the story focused on their journey.[8]

Reception

Critical reception

The Indian Express stated, "Simple story, simple treatment, easy pace, small tiffs, grouse, grief, happiness, sadness, celebrations, rituals, customs but no melodrama and no scheming and plotting....that's every day life beautifully captured and which pleases eyes, ears and other senses. Not that it has not resorted to TRP gimmicks like misunderstanding, pregnancy and miscarriage to come out of its lows, but the show has chronicled post-marriage journey of an arranged married couple quite well".[159] They also quoted, "There is a sense of positivity and reality in the show, that no other serial offers on the small screen".[160]

Praising the two shows Bidaii and Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai of Rajan Shahi's Director's Kut Production as game changers of Starplus which do not have excessive camera moves and mother-in-law-daughter-in-law melodramas unlike previously aired dramas, The Times of India stated, "The shows adequately highlighted the quintessential emotions with loads of romanticism and simplicity in story-telling".[161]

Speaking on the success of the series, The New Indian Express said, "Like most successful television series in our country, "Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai" has always banked heavily on the great Indian family. However, the show, along with its cast, has changed over the decade, to accommodate changing times. Perhaps that is where the winning formula lies—in retaining its old core values in an ever-changing set-up".[162]

Impact

Shoma Munshi in her book Prime Time Soap Operas on Indian Television said the show has "simplicity and highly emotional content" and was noted for placing female characters in the historical tradition of a large joint family.[163]

This Hindi soap opera is the longest-running Indian television soap opera.[164] It was the first Hindi show to cross 2,500 episodes.[165] It completed 3,000 episodes on 11 September 2019 creating a history in the Indian television.[160] On 1 September 2021, It completed 3500 episodes.[166] On 4 March 2023, it completed 4000 episodes successfully.

Hina Khan participated in the 'Power of 49' campaign, in which soap opera actors used their influence to urge women to vote.[167] Khan was paid with ₹1 to 1.25 Lacks per episode as of in 2015 and 2016 making her one of the highest paid Indian television actress.[168][169]

In 2020, it became the third most tweeted Indian television show on Twitter.[170]
