Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Here's Why Manthan Setia, aka Aryan Poddar, is missing from the show

Star Plus' popular show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai has a cast full of beloved characters, and Aryan Poddar, played by Manthan Setia, is no exception. Fans have noticed Aryan's absence from recent episodes, sparking curiosity about his sudden disappearance.

The current storyline reveals Manoj's hidden struggle with alcohol addiction, a secret known only to Manisha, while the rest of the family remains unaware. In a twist, Aryan attempts to protect his father by hiding one of Manoj's alcohol bottles in his bag. However, this act backfires when Aryan, returning from sports, is caught with the bottle by his coach. The incident jeopardizes his position on the team, but Aryan stays silent to safeguard his father's reputation. Consequently, Aryan is sent to a hostel, creating an exit point for the character in the narrative.

The real reason behind Aryan's temporary exit lies in actor Manthan Setia's personal commitments. Manthan recently shared in a social media vlog that he is on leave for 20 days to attend his cousin's wedding in Rajasthan. The makers crafted this storyline to accommodate his brief absence.

Fans can rest assured that Aryan's return will bring fresh drama and intrigue to the show. His reentry promises to add new layers to the ongoing storyline, keeping the audience hooked in upcoming episodes.
