Television drama Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai continues to hold its audience’s attention with unexpected twists and evolving relationships. Recently, the show introduced a 7-year leap that completely changed the lives of its characters. In the middle of this shift, actress Samridhii Shukla, who plays Abhira, opened up about the new dynamics, ratings talk, and on-screen bonds.
Speaking to IndiaForums, Samridhii admitted she isn’t overly concerned about the show’s ratings post-leap. The actress shared, “See, I don’t keep any expectations as per ratings are concerned. That’s not our concern. But we are, three of us, we’re enjoying this new flavor.” The leap not only altered the narrative but brought unexpected characters together, moving them out of the Poddar house and into a world where everyday struggles take center stage.
Samridhii spoke fondly about the chemistry between Abhira, Dadi Sa, and Vidya after the storyline’s jump. She described how their interactions have lightened up. Scenes now involve them dealing with ordinary things like paying EMIs and negotiating with vegetable vendors. Samridhii explained that they’ve bonded over their shared troubles, even calling it “trauma bonding,” a term she used with a smile. She noted that these lighter, more grounded moments are offering a fresh charm to the show.
Earlier, when the leap was announced, the actress was thrilled. She revealed how the cast had already started shopping for their new looks and preparing for their changed characters. She shared that it’s fascinating to see three individuals, who never imagined working together under such circumstances, dealing with problems as a unit. What brought them together remains a mystery, something that will unravel in upcoming episodes.
Currently, the show has introduced Anshuman, a new character who has fallen for Abhira. Both Kaveri and Vidya believe it’s time for her to leave her past with Armaan behind and embrace a new beginning with Anshuman. Abhira finds herself at a crossroads, still processing her emotions while unexpected proposals and encouragements surround her.
Meanwhile, Armaan makes an unplanned trip to Udaipur. There, he sees Abhira laughing and living a content life with Anshuman. The sight leaves him unsettled, raising questions about his true feelings. At the same time, Anshuman prepares to confess his emotions to Abhira. The love triangle is poised to take a dramatic turn, leaving viewers speculating about who Abhira will choose.
With new love interests and unresolved pasts, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai is set to keep audiences hooked, episode after episode.
