There is strong buzz that Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai might soon move towards another generation leap. The speculation has gained momentum after the show witnessed a consistent dip in TRP for the past few weeks. As per reliable sources, the channel has reportedly asked the makers to either improve the ratings or bring a major change in the storyline.
The show recently took an eight-year leap, shifting focus to grown-up Myra and Mukti. Meanwhile, Abhira and Arman’s separation became the emotional core of the track. Viewers were already informed about what led to their split post-leap. However, instead of strengthening the main love story, the makers are currently focusing on justifying Vidya’s conspiracy against Arman and Abhira.
This angle has not gone down well with a section of the audience. Fans feel that Vidya’s actions are being diluted in the name of motherhood. Without allowing Abhira and Arman to communicate properly, she took decisions that impacted four lives deeply. Many believe that such a serious crime cannot be brushed aside so easily. The narrative, at this point, appears scattered and confusing, and the falling TRP reflects that dissatisfaction.
Now, talks about Generation 5 have started doing the rounds. If the show takes that route, the storyline may revolve around Myra and Mukti falling for the same man. One could sacrifice her love while the other turns negative. Another predictable possibility is both entering the same family after marriage and facing constant rivalry. Such tracks have already been explored in multiple daily soaps, and viewers are looking for something fresh.
Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai has been on air since 2009 and remains one of television’s longest-running shows. However, with repetitive story arcs and weak emotional closure for key characters, the makers will have to rethink their strategy. Whether a new generation will revive the show or exhaust the audience further remains to be seen. For now, all eyes are on how the upcoming track unfolds.
