Thank you for this post. You vent it all out so well. Exactly what I am feeling watching the episodes these days. The characters I once adored aren't there anymore. And its just sad. All i feel is negativity. The way they are glorifying "Maa ka dard" and this blame game has become so repetitive especially from Kartik's side. Ever since I started watching Yeh Rishta, I haven't found such negativity as I am getting from it nowadays. I will be really disappointed if they don't show Naira's outburst this time.
