The episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai starts with Kartik telling Dadi that God is testing his friendship and he will not give up.

Kartik says he will support Sirat and also make sure that his family is safe. Nani is unwell. She keeps taking Sirat’s name. Suwarna tells Manish that Nadi should sleep for a while, but she is not sleeping. Gayu says she gave her medicine yet she is not sleeping.
