Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai remains a powerhouse in Indian TV drama. At its best, it brings warmth, family values, and emotional resonance. But as it stands now, the show seems to be struggling under its own long historyrelying on formulas, repeating plot devices, and sometimes choosing drama over depth.
