Full transcript

1. 0:00Just like Bollywood has Rajshree, TV has Rajan Shahi. Just like
2. 0:04everything in their films is larger-than-life, everything here is grand too. So,
3. 0:08on extremely popular demand from viewers, today I'm bringing you Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai? (My Extended Family) The
4. 0:13longest-running TV show, which raises the question: these vows, these promises we make today.
5. 0:18Does true love begin only after marriage?
6. 0:22Akshara, full of overacting, lives in the Maheshwari family in Udaipur. Gosh, her
7. 0:27acting was the most substandard in the entire show. Akshara
8. 0:32lives with her mother, Rajshree (Shakalaka Boom Boom
9. 0:36's Sanju's mother) and father, Vishambar (from the show Karishma - Karishma's father ), along with her large family. Vishambar and Rajshree
10. 0:40are looking for a match for Akshara. Akshara's brother, Shaurya,
11. 0:44falls in love with Akshara's friend Varsha, and their families agree to their marriage
12. 0:48. Akshara likes a boy named Rituraj. Akshara tells Rituraj about pursuing her musical interests
13. 0:54after marriage . On Shaurya's wedding day, Rituraj
14. 0:59's parents decline Akshara's proposal due to her interest in music.
15. 1:03Shaurya and Varsha marry with heavy hearts. Later, Vishambhar chooses, Rajshekhar
16. 1:08Singhania, and Gayatri's son, Naitik, for Akshara. This is where
17. 1:13Naitik, sweeter than sugar syrup, enters. Trust me. He speaks so sweetly
18. 1:18that you'll get diabetes just by listening to him. Naitik and Akshara meet, but
19. 1:22Akshara remains silent due to her broken relationship with Rituraj. Naitik thinks Akshara
20. 1:27didn't like him. But then another meeting is scheduled,
21. 1:32where they both argue over whether Aishwarya or Katrina is better.
22. 1:37Which only a Salman can answer this. If you were blessed to be a girl, which
23. 1:42heroine would you like to be like? Aishwarya Rai. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
24. 1:47Are you asking why? Yes. You're asking why.
25. 1:50Well, after their childish banter, they
26. 1:54both start to like each other. In the age of mobile phones, Akshara
27. 1:59waits for Naitik's call like a heroine of the 70s on the landline, but even then, she can't talk to him
28. 2:03. Then, Rajshree trains Akshara to become the ultimate maid. Because,
29. 2:07apparently, Singhania House is akin to Saathiya's Modi Bhavan.
30. 2:12They're too are very wealthy, but they don't hire maids.
31. 2:17Akshara's grandmother, a backward-thinking old woman, arrives to
32. 2:21attend the wedding . She supports dowry, insults Varsha because she
33. 2:26had a love marriage, and is also stubborn about casteism. Rituraj turns out to be Naitik's cousin
34. 2:33, and Naitik learns from Rituraj that Akshara was originally engaged to be married to him.
35. 2:38This leads to a rift between Naitik and Akshara. But somehow, they finally
36. 2:42get married. It's Naitik and Akshara's first night, and Naitik doesn't eat
37. 2:47. They're very decent people. Otherwise, something else happens on the first night. But here they
38. 2:51sit down to eat. Rituraj finally clears up all the misunderstandings with Naitik and leaves,
39. 2:56and everything between Naitik and Akshara becomes okay. Now, the family issues begin
40. 3:01. Akshara drinks tea before the prayers, causing a ruckus in the house. Akshara
41. 3:06jokes around in public, which upsets Naitik's uncle, Mahendra, who
42. 3:10apparently doesn't allow women to have such openness. Naitik, is still a
43. 3:15child, he asks his mother for permission to go to a movie with Akshara.
44. 3:19Then he asks Mahendra for permission, and I think he should ask 150 other people too. Their fate
45. 3:23is so bad that after getting permission, Naitik eats something on the street, causing
46. 3:27stomach cramps, and all the anger is directed at Akshara.
47. 3:32Mahendra and his wife Kaveri's handicapped
48. 3:36daughter, Nandini, falls in love with Naitik's poor friend, Mohit. This creates a
49. 3:40lot of trouble for the family, as they consider love marriages a sin. In
50. 3:44any case, how do these old people seem to be her parents? When the family learns that
51. 3:49Akshara supports them, everyone becomes angry at her. However,
52. 3:53after Akshara's persuasion, Naitik comes to his senses and convinces everyone, and Nandini marries Mohit
53. 3:58. Varsha becomes pregnant. Another old woman, Bhaisa, Mahendra and
54. 4:03Rajshekhar's elder sister, enters the scene. She burdens Akshara with household chores,
55. 4:08causing Akshara to faint.
56. 4:12Only Kokila can provide the training to make a normal woman a real maid. Kaveri asks Gayatri to assign Akshara the household responsibilities
57. 4:17. By the way, this is their list of chores. Akshara quickly completes all the household chores and
58. 4:22pleases her mother-in-law. Then she makes tasty sweets & makes the old man happy!
59. 4:26And realizes that if she would do the work for these old people, everything
60. 4:31would be fine. Quite clever huh. Gradually, everyone
61. 4:36reconciled with each other. Akshara becomes pregnant. Varsha
62. 4:42gives birth to a daughter, Ananya. Akshara suffers a miscarriage, and the entire family shares her grief
63. 4:47. Naitik's sister, Rashmi, marries a man named Nikhil. Akshara
64. 4:52becomes pregnant again and gives birth to Naksh some time later.
65. 4:57Naitik falls into a coma due to a truck accident. Four years later, Akshara supports the family business.
66. 5:02Mohit and Nandini adopt a baby boy named Yash. Naitik regains consciousness.
67. 5:07All their children are bastards and make their parents' lives miserable.
68. 5:12Naksh dislikes Naitik. Ananya grows up to be a fat ass. Naksh then
69. 5:17torments the family by trapping this baby elephant in a truck. Then, this fool, sometimes
70. 5:22seeing his parents fighting, complains to his grandmother. Which
71. 5:25results in conflict. Sometimes he sees them romancing, which again causes
72. 5:30conflict. Then, like slum children, he
73. 5:35starts hanging from the gate and breaking his chin. Anyway, after all this, their
74. 5:40parents somehow manage to take care of them. However, parents aren't no less than their kids. They
75. 5:45arrange a wedding for this little elephant's doll and come fully dressed.
76. 5:49Rashmi becomes pregnant, and Gayatri goes rock climbing with the children
77. 5:53and falls and dies. Later, Rashmi gives birth to a daughter and
78. 5:58names her Gayatri in memory of her mother. A year passes. Akshara
79. 6:03becomes pregnant with twins again. Rajasekhar feels lonely, so everyone
80. 6:08arranges for this old fella to marry his doctor, Devyani, in his middle age. Devyani already has two children
81. 6:13Naman and Muskaan and they are adopted by the Singhanias.
82. 6:17Due to complications, Akshara aborts the pregnancy. Nandini becomes pregnant. Naman
83. 6:23falls in love with a girl named Karishma. Akshara becomes pregnant again. Oh
84. 6:29God, doesn't she have anything else to do? Naman and Karishma get married. Nikhil
85. 6:36divorces Rashmi, but her mother-in-law, Rama, supports her. Nandini
86. 6:41gives birth to Anmol. Akshara's grandmother passes away. Akshara gives birth to a child named Naira.
87. 6:47You'll find out why I called her a dumb child later. Muskaan
88. 6:52marries Akshara's friend, Alok, out of love.
89. 6:56Some time later, Mahendra's health deteriorates. Akshara
90. 7:01allows doctors to airlift him, but he dies.
91. 7:05Holding Akshara responsible, Kaveri expels Akshara from the house. Ten years later, Naitik
92. 7:10moves to Cape Town with his family. Naman and Karishma have a daughter. Mishti and
93. 7:16the other children grow up, and Naksh
94. 7:20returns to India as part of an exchange program. Naitik and Akshara follow. Akshara confronts Kaveri and
95. 7:25explains the past, and Naksh persuades her.
96. 7:29Old woman finally relents, and everyone returns. Rashmi marries Sameer.
97. 7:34Ananya marries Ranveer. Shaurya's deception is revealed:
98. 7:40he was having an affair with Sneha, and they have a daughter, Kuhu. After Shaurya apologizes
99. 7:45and Naitik convinces her, Varsha forgives Shaurya and accepts Kuhu
100. 7:50. Naira's friend Sukanya kills her boyfriend when he
101. 7:54mistreats Naira. However, he doesn't die. Mistaking him for a ghost, Sukanya falls off a train
102. 7:59. Seeing Akshara talking to the police, Naira misunderstands that Akshara
103. 8:04wants to send her to jail for Sukanya's death, so she runs away and
104. 8:09goes to Rishikesh. A few years later, Naira grows up and
105. 8:15meets a boy named Kartik in Rishikesh. Akshara somehow finds her and
106. 8:19brings her back, but Naira remains angry with her. Kartik also comes and
107. 8:24stays as a PG with the Maheshwaris. Naitik goes to Nigeria for work. Meanwhile, Akshara gradually
108. 8:29mends her relationship with Naira. Upon learning that Naitik is in Zurich and Naman
109. 8:34is trying to kill him, Akshara arrives with Kartik to save him
110. 8:40, and Naman is arrested. Kartik and Naira confess their love.
111. 8:44Kartik's family comes to visit the Singhanias. However, Akshara
112. 8:49dies in an accident, which leads to Kartik's death, and Naira gets him arrested
113. 8:54. And the story of Generation One ends with Akshara's tragic end. I liked the show,
114. 8:59guys. I accept one thing: Hina's acting, really needs to be brushed up
115. 9:03. Their USP is that they have no vamps, strong villains, etc. Simple story with
116. 9:08full of family moments, making it unique. I loved Karan and Hina's chemistry
117. 9:12. Everyone, young and old, can watch it. That's why it's still strong on TRPs. At
118. 9:17least, unlike Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, it didn't just use the family drama tag in the name of extramarital affair
119. 9:21. It justified its genre. I'm not saying it's
120. 9:25great. It got boring at times, but it's a family drama. And that's how they actually
121. 9:29are. So, my verdict is, it can be watched. By the way, I summarized 2,500 episodes
122. 9:34. So, please share it widely and create hype. Share your
123. 9:39thoughts on the show too. Let's keep the comments section lively. Thanks for watching.
