Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai continues to hold its place in viewers’ hearts, even after all these years. The latest leap has given the show a fresh storyline filled with heartbreak, guilt, and unexpected reunions.
After years of love, betrayal, and separation, Abhira and Armaan’s story took a tragic turn with the loss of their daughter. Armaan, unable to handle the grief and heartbreak, not only ended his marriage with Abhira but also severed all ties with his family. What Abhira never knew was that Armaan eventually found their lost daughter. Instead of informing her, he chose silence. He fled to Mount Abu with the child, starting life afresh under a new identity. Geetanjali, a close friend of Armaan, stepped into their lives, becoming someone his daughter, Maira adored. The little girl even wished to see her father marry Geetanjali, hoping for a mother’s warmth.
Back in Udaipur, Abhira carried a guilt that wasn’t hers to bear. She believed she was responsible for the tragedy that took their daughter away. Unaware of the truth, she built a humble life in a small chawl with Dadisa and Vidya, both of whom had been thrown out of the Poddar mansion by Krish and Sanjay. Together, the three women started a small saree business to sustain themselves.
Into this fragile setup walked Anshuman, played by Rahul Sharma. A successful businessman and Krish’s future brother-in-law, Anshuman’s arrival brought some much-needed kindness into Abhira’s life. He invested in their saree business and began working alongside Abhira. With time, he became fond of her resilience and warmth. Dadisa too started seeing him as a suitable match for Abhira, hoping he could give her a new start.
However, not every viewer welcomed these new characters with open arms. Many fans felt Geetanjali and Anshuman were becoming obstacles in Abhira and Armaan’s love story. Social media buzzed with concern, as loyal viewers voiced fears about the beloved couple’s future.
Rahul Sharma, who plays Anshuman, addressed these concerns in a recent interview with FilmiBeat. The actor cleared the air about his character’s intentions. He stated, “I am not here to break anything; I am here to give a fresh start and change a few things in a good way.” Rahul explained that his character’s entry marks a turning point in the storyline. He assured fans that upcoming episodes would offer more depth to Anshuman’s character and promised “the audience will feel happy.”
His words brought a wave of relief to fans clinging to the hope of an Abhira-Armaan reunion. Rahul further hinted that viewers would soon see “more layers of Anshuman and good scenes ahead.”
The writers have teased an emotional, dramatic reunion in store, one that will challenge old loyalties and force every character to confront the choices they made. Until then, every episode builds the tension, inching towards that moment when past and present collide.
