Star Plus long-running serial Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai has recently faced a major setback. The show recorded its lowest TRP rating of 1.3, leaving fans and critics deeply concerned. While viewers celebrated the reunion of Abhira and Armaan, the numbers told a different story. Many blamed the weak storyline and delayed romantic track for the decline.
Abhira and Armaan’s Coffee Date
In the latest episode, Abhira and Armaan finally shared quality time together. Although the family did not allow them to stay in the same room, the couple managed to sneak out for a coffee date. This outing took place at their favorite spot outside the house, a place filled with old memories. Their chemistry looked refreshing, and fans loved seeing them together again. Yet, critics argued that the makers took too long to bring them back, which may have cost the show its momentum.
Family Rituals and Savitri Vrat
Meanwhile, the storyline also highlighted traditional family moments. Abhira and Armaan observed the Vat Savitri fast for each other, symbolizing equality in their relationship. The family scenes carried the “OG Rishta vibes,” reminding viewers of the show’s earlier charm. However, whether these moments will help the TRP recover remains uncertain. The upcoming ratings will reveal if the reunion has truly impacted audience interest.
Social media buzzed with mixed reactions. Some praised the acting of Abhira and Armaan, insisting that poor scriptwriting—not the actors—was responsible for the low TRP. One fan wrote, “Good scripts get TRP, not just performances.” Another expressed frustration, saying the show normalizes toxic family dynamics under the name of love.
At the same time, many fans celebrated the couple’s return. Comments like “Finally, Abhiman are back on a coffee date after so long” and “They are the cutest couple ever” flooded timelines. The emotional hug between Armaan and Abhira also drew admiration, with viewers calling it “beautiful” and “heartwarming.”
Despite the joy of reunion, fans remain skeptical. Some accused the makers of cruelty, pointing out that hints of separation or death were already being teased. This has created anxiety among loyal viewers who fear another heartbreak for their favorite couple.
Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai stands at a crossroads. On one hand, Abhira and Armaan’s love story has reignited fan excitement. On the other, the show’s lowest TRP rating signals serious trouble. The coming weeks will decide whether the reunion and family rituals can restore the magic or if the weak storytelling continues to drag the serial down.
