Another scene is show where the whole cast of the show is gathered along with the main characters are present and Dr Abhimanyu aka Harshad Chopda is seen playing the drums enjoying along with other actors. They have been shown happy and enjoying the celebration that is happening in the scene.
Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai (YRKKH) is a powerhouse of prodigious storytelling, phenomenal acting and melodious music that has remained consistent in its charm and quality since the show's inception. Here's a comprehensive take on the various facets of this long-running Indian television show.
The amount of talent possessed by the cast of YRKKH deserves all the words of praise. The memorable performances by the original leads, Akshara and Natik, set a high bar which was surpassed by the stellar performances of the current generation. Pranali and Harshad, especially, stand out with their impressive acting skills, perfectly encapsulating their characters' intricacies. Their convincing portrayals offer sincerity and a certain depth to the Abhira storyline, which makes it even more compelling to watch.
YRKKH sets itself apart with its evolving narratives aligning with changing times. It started with a poignant tale of arranged marriage, transitioned to a heartfelt love marriage narrative for the next generation, and the current generation brings a new and unique storyline that is different from the previous two. This constant refreshment, albeit a few dragged-out plotlines, has kept the audience engaged, offering pure entertainment and keeping true to its essence even after 13 years on screen.
The show's pace is an interesting mix of slow and fast; some tracks sometimes feel a bit drawn out, but this leisurely pacing aids in thorough character development, plot building, and waiting suspense. The slowed pace does not derail the engagement, but rather adds depth to the storytelling, appealing to audiences who appreciate nuanced narratives.
YRKKH is for audiences who appreciate wholesome storytelling. Its devotion to layered characters, plot depth, familial threads, and romantic angles caters to a wide array of audiences, specifically those who enjoy family drama and relationships.
A special mention must be made to the music director's exceptional work on the show. The heart-touching melodies add another layer of emotion to the storylines, further enhancing the viewers' experience.
As of now, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai isn't just a TV show; it's a phenomenon, the longest-running one in Indian Television History. For those who are yet to experience this journey, I recommend starting from the third season for a thorough and fulfilling experience. Congratulations to the YRKKH team for crafting such a masterpiece and, to all the fans and would-be fans out there, this show is a 'MUST WATCH'.
Shoma Munshi in their 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.
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.They also quoted, "There is a sense of positivity and reality in the show, that no other serial offers on the small screen.
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.
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.
Since the show’s beginning in 2009, it has faced a fair number of controversies, primarily due to the number of actors who quit the show after 2016. Karan Mehra also quit the show in June 2016, citing health issues. Hina Khan also exited the show in December 2016 after playing the role of Akshara for 8 years. There was news that she and her co-star, Karan Mehra (played Naitik), did not have a good relationship. Rajan Shahi, the show's producer, later said it grew after their (Hina Khan and Karan Mehra) departure. He also said they could not shoot when Karan and Hina were part of the show because of their “baggage.” He further said that writers did not want Akshara back even if they had an option. Both Hina and Karan were upset by this and gave their statements questioning his stance.
Mohsin Khan who played the role of Kartik Goenka quit the show.Since the show was going in for a generation leap, he wouldn't want to play an older character. So he decided to take a short break. Mohena Kumari surprised everyone after she decided to leave Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai where she played the role of Keerti, Kartik's sister. The reason was her marriage.
Kanchi Singh was seen as the original Gayatri aka Gayu. She, too, quit the show after her boyfriend Rohan Mehra left. She had told us, I totally understand that shifting focus from a popular couple — Kartik and Naira — to any other character could be detrimental to the show, but my character was completely sidelined in the bargain.

There was a point where there was nothing on TV and I was clueless about what I'd do. This is one such show which a lot of actors have done. I thought this show was very lucky for me. That's how I agreed to be onboard. I thank everyone who has been a part of my journey so far in the show.
