( June 2017 ) Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai was initially the story of a young couple, Akshara and Naitik Singhania, who lived in a Marwari joint family in Udaipur. The story showcases their journey as a married couple going through adjustment issues, as parents of young children, and how they learn to love each other as their extended families mature. Now the story focuses on Naira and Kartik Goenka facing the same journey as Naira 's parents, with a youthful twist. 4 years later After an accident, Naitik falls into a coma. Naksh ( Akshara and Naitik 's son ) is now 5 and does n't know about his father. One day, Naitik comes back and although at first Naksh does n't welcome his father, he later accepts him into his life. Soon the family travels and Gayatri ( Naitik 's mother ) dies. Now Rajsekhar ( Naitik 's dad ) is asked to marry someone, and he marries Devyani, who comes with her two children from a divorced marriage. Later, Bhabimaa 's husband dies, and Bhabimaa ( Naitik 's aunt ) blames it on Akshara and kicks her out of the house, after Akshara 's daughter Naira is born. Akshara, Naitik, Naksh, and Naira leave the house. 10 years later Naksh is now a mature adult and Naira is a diva teenager. Akshara and Naitik, along with Naksh and Naira, live in Cape Town. Naksh returns to Udaipur. He tries to clear up the misunderstanding with Bhabimaa. After many days, Akshara is forgiven and is allowed to return. The story then focuses on Naksh. He falls in love with Tara, and preparations for their wedding are made. Just minutes before the ceremony, she breaks up with him. 7 years later The show focuses on teenage Naira, who flees from her house and now lives in Rishikesh, harboring animosity toward her mother. After finding Naira, the story takes a new twist : a love triangle that forms between Kartik ( Naitik 's employee ), Naira and Gayu ( Naitik 's niece ). Naira and Kartik have feelings for each other but do n't know that it 's love. Meanwhile, Gayu loves Kartik, unaware that Kartik does n't love her back. When Kartik proposes to Naira, she initially rejects him, but by the time she realizes that Gayu also loves him, she thinks of sacrificing her happiness in favor of Gayu. When Mishti ( Naira 's cousin ) reveals that Kartik loves only Naira, Kartik and Naira confess their love for each other ; Gayatri understands. Kartik does n't want to talk about his family because he hates them. Meanwhile, on Akshara 's birthday, everyone goes for a veneration, but Akshara dies in a car accident. The Singhanias blame Kartik for Akshara 's death as Kartik was found drunk and injured at the accident site. Kartik 's family shows up and supports Kartik. Later, Naira finds that Kartik is not the culprit. She proves Kartik 's innocence by finding the real culprit. Kartik does n't like his father and stepmother as he thinks they were responsible for his mother 's death. Seeing Kartik 's feelings towards the Singhanias, his family approves of their relationship in spite of not being much in favor of it. Several months later The two families ( Goenka and Singhania ) start making preparations for their wedding. Just before the wedding, Kartik discovers the real culprit who ran Akshara over and yearns to tell Naira, but his uncle convinces him that he will tell her. He reneges and tells Naira only that Kartik is missing his mother. Finally, the wedding takes place. A few days later, Naira meets the man whose brother is in jail for killing her mother and learns that Akshara 's accident was caused by Mansi ( Kartik 's cousin ). The news reaches the Singhanias and they are heartbroken. The Goenkas come to apologize. Naira is initially very hurt and angry with Kartik, but she understands that it 's not his fault. She takes Akshara 's accident case back and forgives Mansi. On Kartik 's birthday, he comes to know that Aditya ( Kartik 's brother in law ) tortures Keerti ( Kartik 's sister ) and, along with Naira, decides to expose him. Eventually, Aditya 's truth comes out and Keerti and Aditya get divorced. Suhasini Goenka ( Kartik 's grandmother ) wants to find a suitable match for Keerti and later forces Naira to get Naksh and Keerti married. Naksh accepts the proposal for the sake of Naira. Another parallel story about Manish and Saumya Goenka ( Kartik 's mother ) is revealed. Saumya was a mental patient and committed suicide a long time ago. Manish ( Kartik 's father ) kept the fact hidden keeping his promise to Saumya. Later, Kartik learns the truth and his misunderstandings regarding Manish get cleared up. Naksh and Keerti marry. Parallel story arcs Parallel with Akshara and Naitik 's stories, the stories of their respective siblings also form significant story arcs in the series. Past plots have been built around the lives of Naitik 's sisters Nandini and Rashmi. The series has also focused on Naitik 's step - siblings. The series also paralleled the story of Akshara - Naitik with that of Varsha - Shaurya. Varsha is Akshara 's best friend, and Shaurya is Akshara 's older brother. After several leaps, Naira and Kartik became the leads of the show. Parallel with Kartik and Naira 's story, the series also focusses on the story of their siblings - Naksh, Gayu, Keerti and Shubham. Cast This section may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia 's quality standards. The specific problem is : Per WP : TVCAST we care about the entire history of the cast, not just the most current lineup. To be consistent with other established television articles, former cast members need to be reincorporated into either the Main cast or Recurring cast sections, and organised per their introduction into the series, with newer members of the cast being added to the bottom of each list. So someone who was introduced in 2009 would appear at the top of the list, where someone introduced in 2015 would appear toward the bottom. Please help improve this section if you can.
