Celebration Time: Star Plus’ Yeh Rishta… completes 1700 episodes

Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai helmed by Rajan Shahi has been a game changer for the channel with it running successfully for over six years now. The show today has completed 1700 episodes, making it one of the longest running serials on Indian television.

The daily has Karan Mehra (Naitik) and Hina Khan (Akshara) in the leads and will soon be presenting its tale post a 10 year leap. The positivity and simplicity of the story has been its USP and Yeh Rishta… continues to be a favourite of the masses. Post the leap, young actors Rohan Mehra and Ashnoor Kaur will be seen playing Naitik-Akshara’s kids.

Talking about the achievement, Rajan Shahi (Director’s Kut) shared, “It’s been a memorable journey for all of us at DKP and Yeh Rishta has given us all-fame, prestige and credibility in the industry. I am proud of the remarkable team spirit and positivity shared between the entire cast, crew and everyone associated with the show. Also I would like to thank all our fans and well wishers.”
