Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, one of Indian television’s longest-running daily soaps, recently took a significant leap in its storyline. The narrative jumped seven years ahead, bringing in fresh faces and new twists. With this leap, the dynamics within the show have undergone major changes, leaving fans curious about the fates of their beloved characters.
Post-leap, Samridhii Shukla’s character, Abhira, no longer resides at the Poddar house. Her presence has shifted elsewhere, steering the story in an entirely different direction. Along with Abhira’s departure, another character quietly vanished from the frame is Ruhi, portrayed by Garvita Sadhwani. As per the storyline, Ruhi and the Goenka family have moved abroad, settling in Japan, leaving viewers wondering if they would ever return to the narrative.
Amid the growing speculation, Samridhii Shukla recently addressed these lingering questions during a candid chat with an entertainment channel. The actress shared a hopeful note about Ruhi’s potential comeback. She remarked, “They are very pivotal part of the story. Goenkas toh Abhira ki family hai, maika hai toh unke bina kaise hoga. They will be there bus thodasa gap hai.” Her words reassured fans that though Ruhi and the Goenkas are missing for now, their return isn’t entirely off the cards. While she didn’t confirm any specific timeline for their reappearance, her statement hinted that important moments in Abhira’s life might bring them back.
Meanwhile, the current track is building tension and emotional conflict around Abhira and Armaan, played by Rohit Purohit. Fans have been anxiously waiting for the estranged couple to cross paths. Their reunion has been teasingly close in recent episodes, as both found themselves at the same local fair. Yet fate kept them apart, delivering one near encounter after another. In one recent promo, viewers got a glimpse of Armaan’s stunned reaction upon spotting Abhira at an ice gola stall. While Armaan’s world momentarily froze at the sight of her, Abhira remained oblivious, unaware of his presence.
Adding to the drama, the show introduced a heartwarming subplot featuring Abhira and a little girl named Maira. Unbeknownst to Abhira, Maira is none other than her own daughter, Pookie. Armaan, hiding this painful secret, has been keeping the child away from her. The upcoming episodes are set to showcase a tender bond developing between Abhira and Maira. Separated by cruel circumstances but drawn together by invisible threads of love, Abhira begins caring for Maira instinctively. She showers affection on the little one, forming a motherly connection without knowing the truth.
As Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai moves forward, it seems determined to weave its tale of separation, secrets, and eventual reconciliation with all the nostalgia and emotional pull it’s known for. Whether it’s Ruhi’s reappearance or Armaan and Abhira’s long-awaited meeting, the next few episodes hold the promise of high-voltage drama.
