Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, once a chart-topper in Indian television, is currently facing a decline in its TRP ratings. The show, which has entertained audiences for over a decade through its evolving family narratives and romantic arcs, is now struggling to maintain its momentum. The current track—centered around a love triangle involving Arman, Abhira, and Ruhi—has not resonated with loyal viewers, leading to growing criticism and a TRP dip, currently marked at 1.8.
According to the latest developments, Ruhi is beginning to revive her feelings for Arman in the absence of Rohit and is expected to emotionally manipulate Abhira to walk away from her marriage in exchange for the baby. This storyline has been met with strong disapproval from the audience, many of whom feel it undermines the central couple—Arman and Abhira—and shifts the emotional core of the show.
However, not all is lost. Here are five key changes that could help Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai regain its lost TRP and viewer trust:
1. Shift Focus Back to Abhira and Arman
Fans are urging the makers to place the spotlight firmly on Arman and Abhira’s relationship. Their evolving bond, from arranged marriage to emotional understanding, has been the most compelling part of the new generation track. A clear focus on their journey—without Ruhi’s interference—can help bring back loyal viewers.
2. Introduce a Strong, Fresh Villain
While family drama and emotional twists have kept the show afloat, what’s missing is a powerful antagonist who can challenge Arman and Abhira as a couple. A dramatic villain could introduce tension, raise stakes, and add depth to the storyline, making the plot more engaging.
3. Give Ruhi Her Own Storyline and a New Male Lead
One of the most repeated fan demands is to move Ruhi out of Arman’s life and introduce a new love interest for her. Rather than forcing a connection between Ruhi and her brother-in-law, a new male lead can give her an independent arc and refresh her character for the audience.
4. Strengthen the Family Dynamics
Kaveri’s recent comments judging Abhira for not being able to experience pregnancy highlight a tension point that could be explored meaningfully. A sensitive yet powerful track addressing societal pressure on women, infertility, and self-worth can not only make the show relevant but also emotionally impactful.
5. Avoid Repetitive Tropes
Love triangles, emotional manipulation, and sacrifice-based storylines have become too frequent in recent weeks. Viewers are asking for more grounded storytelling, natural character progression, and meaningful conversations rather than constant melodrama.
With a legacy as long as Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, there’s still potential for the show to bounce back—provided the makers are willing to listen to audience feedback and refresh the storyline.
