Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai celebrates its landmark 5000th episode with a nostalgic family gathering that revisits past generations.
But an unexpected clash threatens the joy, leading to an emotional reunion that restores harmony within the Poddar family.
Star Plus’ long-running show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai is gearing up to hit the major milestone of completing 5000 episodes. To celebrate the occasion, the makers have planned a grand special track and released a promo featuring Armaan (played by Rohit Purohit) and Abhira (played by Samridhii Shukla). In the promo, the lead pair takes viewers on a nostalgic journey, revisiting the earlier casts and the generations that shaped the show’s legacy.
The Poddar Family Prepares For The Milestone Episode
In the upcoming episode, the entire Poddar family comes together to celebrate this historic moment. They gather around a projector as Abhira and Armaan recount the iconic love stories of previous generations, starting with Akshara (played by Hina Khan) and Naitik (played by Karan Mehra), followed by Kartik (played by Mohsin Khan) and Naira (played by Shivangi Joshi). Through this journey, they highlight how love and family bonds have remained central to the show despite disagreements, challenges, and changing times.

A Celebration Turns Into Conflict
However, the festive mood soon takes an unexpected turn. When the projector resumes, a minor disagreement between Vidya (played by Shruti Ulfat) and Dadi (played by Anita Raaj) escalates into a heated argument. Their clash exposes deeper unresolved issues within the family, leaving everyone stunned. Abhira becomes visibly emotional as she watches her dream of bringing the Poddars closer begin to shatter.
The conflict not only disrupts the joyful atmosphere but also brings long-buried tensions to the surface—tensions the family had been avoiding for years.
An Emotional Reunion For The 5000th Episode
Despite the confrontation, the family eventually finds their way back to harmony. The upcoming track will feature an emotional reunion where the Poddars choose understanding and forgiveness over conflict. Armaan and Abhira witness their efforts finally paying off as the family comes together once more.
The milestone celebration concludes with a grand family photo, a cake-cutting ceremony, and a vibrant ghoomar performance, symbolising unity and marking 5000 glorious episodes of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, a show that has effortlessly carried forward its legacy across generations.
