The world of Indian television has witnessed a historic moment. The iconic daily soap, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai (YRKKH), has achieved what no other fiction show in the country has done before. It has successfully completed a staggering 5000 episodes, setting an unparalleled record for longevity and audience connection.
A Legacy Spanning Generations
This landmark is not just about a number; it's a celebration of a legacy that has lived in the hearts of millions for well over a decade. To honour this extraordinary feat, the show's team has released a special promotional video. This promo is an emotional tribute that takes fans on a nostalgic ride through the different eras and families that have defined YRKKH.
The journey begins with the beloved original couple, Akshara and Naitik, portrayed by Hina Khan and Karan Mehra. Their timeless love story laid the very foundation upon which this mammoth success was built. The baton was then passed to the immensely popular pair of Naira and Kartik, played by Shivangi Joshi and Mohsin Khan, whose chemistry and storylines captured the imagination of a new generation of viewers.
The Torch Passes to New Faces
The saga continued with the intense and passionate chapter of Akshara and Dr. Abhimanyu, brought to life by Pranali Rathod and Harshad Chopra. Their narrative was filled with drama and emotion, keeping audiences hooked. Today, the show is writing its current story with the new generation. The roles of Abhira and Armaan are now essayed by Samriddhi Shukla and Rohit Purohit.
In the ongoing plot, despite facing numerous storms and setbacks, Abhira and Armaan are choosing to stand by each other. Their determination to solve every problem together symbolizes the core values of resilience, hope, and togetherness that YRKKH has championed since its inception.
A Celebration of Audience Love
As the cast and crew celebrate this incredible 5000-episode milestone, the celebration is equally for the loyal audiences who made it possible. It is a tribute to the families who welcomed the show into their living rooms night after night, and to the generations who grew up alongside its characters, sharing their joys, sorrows, and life lessons.
Marking this special occasion, reports suggest that the team of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai will be seen in a unique avatar, transforming into fairies for a special episode dedicated to this historic achievement. This record-breaking run cements the show's place not just in television history, but as a cultural touchstone for Indian viewers.
