Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, the Star Plus television show produced by Rajan Shahi’s Director’s Kut, has seen engaging drama with Abhira (Samridhii Shukla) being scared of Maira leaving home to meet her in jail. As per the preview shown, Maira got into a problem with her being kidnapped. While her daughter was in danger, the mother’s intuition, her pain and worry, was what Abhira experienced, even though she was away from her.

The upcoming episode will see her interactions with Jalebi Bai (Melissa Pais) turning the story around. Situations and actions of Abhira will prompt the jailer to punish Abhira heavily. Abhira will be put in solitary confinement, in a pitch-dark cell, where Abhira will not face light, and will also not have any food or water for herself.

This stay in the solitary cell will be traumatising for Abhira, so much so that she will become extremely weak in mind and body. This will be a turning point in Abhira’s life, as she will lose all the confidence that she has in herself as an individual.

Will Abhira be able to come out of this traumatic phase?

Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai produced by Rajan Shahi has been a long-running show that started with actors Karan Mehra and Hina Khan as leads. The show had a very good run and made the actors household names. Naitik and Akshara ruled television for a long time. The first generation leap in the story introduced Mohsin Khan and Shivangi Joshi, who became stupendously popular for their lead roles of Kartik and Naira. Mohsin and Shivangi’s fan following and popularity grew with this Jodi. Even today, when Mohsin and Shivangi are not part of the show, the cult show remains one of their biggest experiences. Their exit from the show created a furore among the Mohsin and Shivangi fans. But hats off to the makers, as they came back with a bang and delivered yet again with yet another generation leap story. We had Harshad Chopda and Pranali Rathod playing the leads of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. Later, the show introduced the fourth-generation leads with Shehzada Dhami and Samridhii Shukla. However, both Shehzada Dhami and Pratiksha Honkar were replaced owing to issues of tantrums and taking their places in the show are Rohit Purohit and Garvita Sadhwani.
