Star Plus and Directors Kut's Yeh Rishta Kya
Kehlata Hai completed a successful run of 250 episodes
yesterday.
The unit organized a cake cutting ceremony with the
protagonists Hina Khan (Akshara), Karan Mehra (Naitik) present.
Also seen was the family of Naitik, but one noted absence was of
Akshara's family.
We talked to Akshara aka Hina Khan
who seemed the happiest amongst the entire lot present there. "I am very
much excited as we have completed 250 episodes today. I would like to
thank Rajan Shahi Sir who gave me this big a break. I
still remember how nervous I was in my first shoot at Jaipur. But the
whole cast and crew made me comfortable. I still go thro' my pictures
taken during that first shot (smiles)".
Hina Khan further added that she is missing her Maayka
family on this day, as it was with them that she began this journey.
Naitik aka Karan Mehra who appeared
equally elated said, "I want to thank all my fans who have supported and
loved me as Naitik. I feel happy that we have completed 250 episodes
today, and look forward to achieving many more milestones like this".
We wish the entire team all the very best for their
future tracks'

In an era where hard-hitting drama and high voltage
scenes, have become a routine on Indian television, Star Plus
and Rajan Shahi's
Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai
plans to woo the audience by sheer simplicity and by being high on
expressions!!
The production house and the channel have
planned to rope in a special episode sans any dialogues, highlighting
the gravity of the situation where Akshara (Hina Khan) finds herself
in. The entire Singhania family is stunned to know that their bahu
Akshara knew all about the budding love story of Nandini and Mohit, but
never did bother to tell them.
The special episode will be
high on emotions and will show the manner in which everyone reacts to
this situation. With only the background music to intensify the grave
silence in the household, it is for the first time on Indian television
that audiences will be made to experience a silent episode.
As Producer
Rajan Shahi
aptly puts it, "The special episode which is sans any dialogue
has come out very realistically. The entire family is stunned to know
that Akshara knew about Nandini's love story. The silent episode is just
the result of the shock that the entire family has gone thro, and the
manner in which they react to it. There is a background music playing to
depict the pain of Akshara, but the high point of this episode will be
the expressions shown in by all the characters involved".
When
asked Karan Mehra
aka Naitik, he states, "It was a great experience to be part
of such a scene which has no dialogues, and where the focus was
predominantly on expressions and emotions of characters. I can't explain
in words on how we have shot the scene. It will be more interesting
when you watch it".
According to our source, "The revelation of
Akshara being a witness to Mohit-Nandini's love story will ultimately
lead to the family getting cross with Akshara, so much so that she will
have to leave the house. This high point will again bring to focus the
dilemma in the lives of a man and woman who are only few months into
marriage. It will also bring both the Maheshwari and Singhania families
to the forefront, and how they sort out the situations that lie before
them will be interesting to watch".
The special half an hour
episode sans any dialogue will be aired on 8th January at 9.30 PM'
