There are so many topics to choose from and there are so many relationships, so that becomes a major challenge, to keep the freshness alive. Drama, intrigue, etc is just a part of storytelling but to still keep the essence alive that is the challenge, it is always a day to day battle".<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|date=23 April 2019|title=Producer Rajan Shahi on Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai's success: 'It's a challenge to keep the freshness alive'|url=https://www.timesnownews.com/entertainment/telly-talk/gossip/article/producer-rajan-shahi-on-yeh-rishta-kya-kehlata-hais-success-its-a-challenge-to-keep-the-freshness-alive-tv-news/405391|access-date=11 August 2019|website=Times Now News}}</ref> He also quoted that the elaborate festival celebrations shown is the strength of the series.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Rakhi kicks off festive season on daily soaps|url=https://m.timesofindia.com/tv/news/hindi/tv-channels-gear-up-for-budget-hikes-as-shooting-special-sequences-for-festivals-sometimes-increases-the-budget-for-one-episode-by-300/articleshow/21914815.cms|website=The Times of India}}</ref><br />

Speaking about the introduction of transition in the story from Akshara and Naitik to Naira and Kartik, Shahi said, "We were losing out on the young audience when things were going sweet between (original protagonists) Akshara and Naitik. With the introduction of Kartik and Naira -- a couple that is imperfect, makes mistake and learns from the mistakes -- the audience again found a connection with the on-screen characters.

===Critics===<br />
<br />
Shoma Munshi in their book ''Prime Time Soap Operas on Indian Television'' said the show has "simplicity and highly emotional content" and was noted for placing female characters in the historical tradition of a large joint family.<ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=agw0m5m9oS8C&q=%22shoma+munshi%22+%22yeh+rishta%22&pg=PA223|title=Prime Time Soap Operas on Indian Television|isbn=9781136516191|access-date=12 September 2015|last1=Munshi|first1=Shoma|date=26 July 2012}}</ref><br />
<br />
''[[The Indian Express]]'' stated, "Simple story, simple treatment, easy pace, small tiffs, grouse, grief, happiness, sadness, celebrations, rituals, customs but no melodrama and no scheming and plotting....that's every day life beautifully captured and which pleases eyes, ears and other senses. Not that it has not resorted to TRP gimmicks like misunderstanding, pregnancy and miscarriage to come out of its lows, but the show has chronicled post-marriage journey of an arranged married couple quite well".<ref>{{Cite web|title=Who is the primetime leader|url=http://archive.indianexpress.com/news/who-is-the-primetime-leader-/823649/0|website=The Indian Express}}</ref> They also quoted, "There is a sense of positivity and reality in the show, that no other serial offers on the small screen".<ref name=":14" /><br />
<br />
Praising the two shows ''Bidaii'' and ''Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai'' of Rajan Shahi's Director's Kut Production as game changers of Starplus which do not have excessive camera moves and mother in law - daughter in law melodramas unlike previously aired dramas, ''[[The Times of India]]'' stated, "The shows adequately highlighted the quintessential emotions with loads of romanticism and simplicity in story-telling".<ref name=":12">{{Cite web|title=StarPlus ruling the roost again|url=https://m.timesofindia.com/tv/news/hindi/Star-Plus-ruling-the-roost-again/articleshow/5651270.cms|website=The Times of India}}</ref><br />
<br />
Speaking on the success of the series, ''[[The New Indian Express]]'' said, "Like most successful television series in our country, "Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai" has always banked heavily on the great Indian family. However, the show, along with its cast, has changed over the decade, to accommodate changing times. Perhaps that is where the winning formula lies—in retaining its old core values in an ever-changing set-up".<ref>{{Cite web|title=What drives Indian TV's longest-running soap 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai'|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/hindi/2019/sep/15/what-drives-indian-tvs-longest-running-soap-yeh-rishta-kya-kehlata-hai-2034037.html|website=The New Indian Express}}</ref><br />

==Synopsis==<br />
''Grihasti'' is based upon the Khurana family. After the death of the family's [[patriarch]], Balraaj, the women realize that they must come together to succeed in their male-dominated society. As a result of this and of destiny, the women become more independent. This change in their life shows the importance of many female roles in society: wife, daughter, grandmother, and sister. It is shown that Rishi (Simar's husband) is having an affair with his secretary Priya. Simar is getting a little doubtful.<br />
<br />
The Balraaj family house is taken by the fraudulent Lucky Kapoor and his wife and mother. The Balraaj family are trying to get it back by playing Lucky's trick on him. They disguise themselves as potential buyers of their house and, in the end, they get it back on Holi. But on Holi Manas and Raunak get Rishi high on cannabis and he goes and hugs Priya. Then he tells Simar that he is having an affair. The whole family breaks down especially Simar. Simar finds out that she is pregnant; Priya tells Rishi. Lucky Kapoor comes out of jail and is determined to kill Raunak so he goes to the Balraj house. He gets into a fight with him. Soni interferes and ends up falling down the stairs. She loses a lot of blood so Priya donates her blood to her. She makes Rishi realise that he still loves Simar. So they get back together again.<br />
<br />
Eight months later, Simar goes into labour and has a baby boy.<br />
<br />
Two years later, Rano and Soni are pregnant and Simar's child is two. There is a problem at work so the daughters go solve it. Soni first goes into labour, then so does Rano.

== Plot ==<br />
<br />
=== Season 1: Bhakharwadi – Chatpate Rishton Ki Kahani ===<br />
The plot revolves around two neighbors living in [[Pune]]; the Gujarati Thakkar family which consists of Mahindra Thakkar, Urmila Thakkar his wife and Gayatri Thakkar his only daughter, and the Maharashtrian Gokhale family which consists of Balakrishna "Anna" Gokhale, His wife Joytsana, their children Prabhakar, Keshav, Amol, his daughter Vibhavari (whom he disowned as she marries without his concent) and Abhishek. Except Abhishek all his siblings are married and have children. The families have different bitter relations as they have different ideologies, and things get complicated when their children fall in love. They marry and their family accepts it. Abhishek and Thakkar have one mindset while Gayatri and Anna have different mindset and thus there are small arguments which grow.<br />
<br />
=== Season 2: Bhakharwadi – Zaayke Ka Naya Season ===<br />
<br />
==== 7 years later ====<br />
Gayatri and Abhishek have a son named Krishna, the two families are bitter but pretend to be happy in presence of Krishna. These fights have taken a toll on their health and now Anna has impaired hearing, while on the other hand, Mahendra has a problem of forgetting things easily. Gayatri and Abhishek have been divorced because of a huge misunderstanding involving a third person. Krishna gets to know that his parents have been divorced and the two families separated. Anna supports his daughter in law Gayatri while on the other hand, the Thakkar family supports Abhishek. The reason behind the divorce was that Gayatri saw Abhishek with another girl called Anjali, during their vacation in a hotel room in Goa. A court-hearing takes place at their home itself, which turns out to be inconclusive. Krishna, along with his cousins and Keshav, plans to reunite his parents, and keeps a deal that whoever from his parents gets married first, he will move in with them.<br><br />
Soon, a man named Aprateem Joshi is discovered and selected by Anna to become Gayatri's groom, whereas the Thakkar select a girl named Aishwarya to be Abhishek's bride.<br><br />
However, it is revealed that Aprateem and Aishwarya are actually Bhojpuri goons-in-disguise named Munna Pandey and Munni Pandey. Munna, a lender, gives Keshav some money for a month at 5% interest but Munna deceives him and says he charged 5% interest per day and threatens Keshav. At the time, Keshav overhears Munna talking about getting his sister, Munni Pandey married. Hearing this a devious plan hatches in Keshav's mind to avoid paying the money and proposes to Munna to get his sister married to Abhishek. Munna accepts the offer and Keshav starts training them accordingly and sends them as Aprateem Joshi and Aishwarya respectively to Gokhale and Thakkar families. Keshav also uses Krishna, Chirag, and Ujjwala for his devious plan. Both manage to win the hearts of the families without suspicion and Munni gets set to actually marry Abhishek. However, Munna wants to actually marry Gayatri for her property, shop, and house and threatens to kill Keshav if this doesn't happen.<br />
<br> Mandar, Ujjwala, and Mahendra overhear this conversation and find out about everything. They are caught before they could inform anyone by Munna and taken hostage. Meanwhile, Urmila and Chirag try everything they can to find out about Anjali online, but she finally blocks them. Abhishek manages to free Ujjwala, Mandar, and Mahendra from the goons and everyone rushes to stop the marriage. However, upon telling Anna and Gayatri about this, they refuse to agree and are adamant. They try everything to stop the marriage but no avail. Keshav refuses to speak about anything for fear of his life. Right at their last ritual of marriage, Krishna prays for a miracle and Anjali finally comes to stop the marriage and clear Gayatri's doubt about his affair with Anjali and what really happened during their vacation in the hotel in Goa. She told that her marriage was fixed with a bad guy, how Abhishek helped her by pretending to be her lover. This explanation of Anjali made Gayatri realize her mistake. Abhishek weds Gayatri again. But the Thakkar and Gokhale are now in an argument that where will Krishna live. As they say interest is more sweet than the principal amount.<br />
