I actually liked Gayatri Rajshri and akshara the most



Rajshri was the ideal mother in law. She was always so loving towards varsha, and I think varsha shaurya had love marriage. Maheshwari family was very open minded.


They later showed her a bit old fashioned like during varshas pregnancy and varsha wanting to study more. But they handled it beautifully.


Shaurya akshara and shaurya naitik had very pure bond. I used to love the siblings relationship, very respectful kind, they would share their pain and good memories. And Rajshri always knew something up with akshara naitik. She never blamed her daughter that she needed to adjust, she tried to find root cause


Vishambar was the ideal father. When akshara returned to her mayka late night and later it came out she had a fight with naitik, vishambar never pressurized her to return without solving the issue. I loved gayatri bhabhi ma reaction to this too - they were horrified she left so late without anyone, it wasn't safe, and Gayatri immediately was like munna probably misbehaved with bahu. The immediate reaction was very good.




Gayatri resembles more the Indian mother in law's but if only they were like Gayatri. Her life revolved around naitik and when akshara came she had to share everything. Her anger discomfort, her expectations from akshara, her changing slowly for akshara and naitik was shown very nicely. And of course when naitik goes to coma her all attention goes to naksh, and she was such a support for akshara. It was fantastic


Gayatri during that track where some girl was after naitik and her mother sent rishta for him not knowing he was married - Gayatri was hurt and told akshara the kids aren't sharing anything these days. And how akshara cried and said it was a very hard situation, gayatri feels bad immediately. And she's very loving and said she will always support her bahu and she will scold naitik and how akshara was keeping all this inside her. When akshara used to call her maa it felt she's saying from heart


There was a cousin bahu who was instigating everyone against akshara and Gayatri was very firm that meri bahu bohut achi hai and no one can take her place. I was like goo gayatri show that. Even bhabhi ma was pissed how can someone take bahus place. I think akshara later told that lady that she was her place in family and it showed. How she's the centre of family from dadaji to naitik. And naitik also depend on akshara from business to their loving relationship



And when some guy proposed to akshara naitik was pissed at first but akshara is firm that she supported him during that girl issue and naitik realized immediately and supports her.


I liked the small small things there, like there was a girl who was very poor and singhaniyas fostered the kid, there was one scene akshara and naitik goes to that village area to find the child. I liked how sensible it was that they didn't take baby naksh and akshara wasn't alone super woman like you know who. And akshara's disgusting at the shady place was very believable cause in her life she never saw these kinda poverty . I think the poor girl's father also was shouting while drunk, it showed on akshara's face she never saw something like that in her life. Naitik can be ass many times but never drunk and abusive towards her. The basic respect was there


In second gen I loved loved naksh akshara Gayatri. Gayatri was the typical dadi we see around her, completely doting on the kid and how she runs after him, kinda like God Krishna. And naksh too very naughty but wasn't brat, and I liked akshara was firm but that motherly instict showed. Naksh would hide behind her that was very cute



Will share more stuff if I remember lol

Rajshri and Vishambar, especially badi dadi were really good and level-headed. Like they didn't have random personality shifts or anything.

Exactly. Naitik & Akshara loved the kids but they didn't spoil them... Like even though they indulged their wishes like all parents, they knew were to draw the line. The bond between the kids was the best part of Gen 1 for me, personally.

I think gen 2 kids vansh and kairav were good too. Kairav had one outburst regarding kartik but largely well behaved kid. That too single handedly raised by naira who had her own issues


Rajshri visambhar were a great pairing. Great parents - shaurya having affair was his own issue. They were great couple too, very loving respectful.

I liked gen 2 kids too. Luv, Kush (not taking that harassment incident after leap- that was awful and purely for TRP), Vansh and Kairav were good kids.

@b: yeah. They were old school but Vishambar treated her right & they were very respectful towards each other. It was kinda cute to see them having their moments too. Also no stupid daughter-son bias which was rare at that time. ( considering Rajshri & Vishambar were of the same age as Suhasini Dadi & still so much backward thinking *smh* )

Also they were also religious but never indulged in blind faith. Gen 1 was ahead of its times in so many ways that the subsequent gens never was I feel.

I loved Akshara’s family so much.

They were beautiful people.

Akshara’s dadi was such a cutiepie and so progressive, Akshara’s mom was always worried and taking care of others.

Each character had their growth, story and moments. The shaadis omg, just rewatching them would make you sob 😭

Yrkkh isnt just a show but a vital part of India's Pop Culture and often credited to be India's longest show.Log Nursery se graduate hogaye but still this show is running.

I remember watching yrkkh gen 1 as a young kiddo and honestly i used to laugh and find all the crying funny.As i look back i realise that how pure the relations were in the families-Singhanias and Maheshwaris and Deoras.

We saw many shades in all the different families and enjoyed the weddings,birthday parties,holidays and even annual program of kids of these families whereas cried when we saw inevitable deaths, notably Gayatri's and Daddaji's.The kids were the most adorable part of this gen.

All characters in gen 1 werent perfect but they grew with time.They were times when Singhanias imposed their patriachial rules but they never tortured Akshara unlike Poddars.

As a legacy viewer I cannot even connect gen 4 with gen 1.

The journey of Akshara from a Young Girl to a Mature Family woman is one of the best ones I ever saw in ITV.The way a meek girl made her mark in society is very inspiring.

Let us rewind some of the moments of gen 1 which portrayed the true Indian Family System

I would request you all for your active participation,Please post moments and memories that are the most beautiful part of gen 1

A request to all-This is strictly a gen 1 nostalgia thread so please keep Gen 4 out of this

I was way little to understand gen1...my aunt used to watch it....in summer vacations me and my cousins got used to watch it with my aunt.....

That time itself it is toxic free and full of celebrations...even we kids used to watch it....we saw and learnt different cultures and traditions and family...

Now I don't want my niece to watch this show with me...what will they teach now...ema,abuse,kidnap,fake cases on wife...nahhh...my niece and rest of kids r totally fine not watching gen4.....


Not only rishta most of serials that time r really good like balika vadhu and all.....now all serials r toxic...


These new gen fans r blind they think red flag with pretty face is enough to love....


They all must watch Rashmika's Girlfriend movie...atleast then they might open there eyes

it was simple and so sweet

I remember when they were trying to resolve a fight between Nandini and Rashmi they organised a gudde gudiya ki shaadi so kids come together and even adults.

Kids weren't being manipulative and over smart.

Great thread, my apologies that won't be able to add to this discussion of the rich history that is Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. I didn't watch Rishta and never had any intention to ever watch it cause it never appeal to me. Unfortunately I started watching rishta the error of toxicity without a strong writing which is Gen 3 for Harshad. Talented cast but a victim of creative team that lacks vision or open mind to get new talent on dkp that are in tune with the audience and respect to write great story that is insync with the time. Gen 4 started on a high with great cast, unfortunately fell prey to the same creative mess. It still surprises me how this season when 2 years in the top 5, something even G3 didn't accomplish.

It still nice to read that once upon a time this show actually reflected and told a story that reflect the title

thank you

The trps went down today and lol writers got back the karma for writing trash.

Gen 3 was better that it ended early lol

The kind of trash which is going on with gen 4 would have happened with gen 3.

Gen 3 was ruined due to Shahi paneers ego issues as everyone knows lol.

Gen 4 started high and I was rooting for abhimaan once but honestly can't connect rn after all the nonsense.

I would encourage you to watch some episodes of gen 1 and I guarantee you that you will love the positivity and will find some bonds beautiful.

Im going to too post moments so you can too read and enjoy the positivity.
