The show, which focuses on the daily happenings within the household of an Udaipuri family, is produced by Rajan Shahi's Director's Kut Productions. It has became the longest running Hindi series on Indian television by episode count surpassing Balika Vadhu.
Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai is the story of a young couple, Naitik and Akshara Singhania, who live in a Marwari joint family in Udaipur. The story showcases their journey first as a married couple going through adjustment issues, then as parents of young children, and how they learn to love each other and their respective extended families while becoming mature members of their household. Over the course of the series, Akshara and Naitik have a baby boy called Naksh.
The show showed Naksh as a grown up child. The family experienced happiness and sadness together. The family went for a trip, but during the trip, Gayatri had an accident and died. After their marriage, they are now focusing on their children, Naksh and Naira, Naksh's childhood to Naira's childhood. Dadaji (grandfather) suddenly dies from a heart attack. Bhabhima blames Akshara and throws her out of the house.
After a leap it shows Naksh and Naira as sensible grown-ups. Akshara, Naitik, Naksh, and Naira live in Cape Town. Naksh returns to Udaipur. He tries to clear the misunderstandings of Bhabimaa. After many days, Akshara is forgiven and is back in the house. Then it shows the family's happiness. The story then focuses on Naksh. It shows how Naksh falls in love with Naintara, but soon breaks up with her.
The show takes another leap which focuses on teenaged Naira, who flees from her house and lives in Rishikesh. After finding Naira, the story takes a new twist, creating a love triangle between Kartik, Naitik's employee, Naira, and Gayatri, Naitik's niece. Naira and Kartik have feelings for each other, unaware that it is love, and Gayu has a one sided love for Kartik, unaware of the fact that Kartik doesn't love her at all. Recently, the show focuses on Naitik being attacked by his step brother, Naman. Naman kidnaps him and states that he'll release him after a few days, after he gets Naitik's signature on the documents and if they attend a meeting together. He threatens Naitik not to go against him or he'll harm Naitik's family. Later, he is arrested by the police. Naitik and Akshara reunite and spend time together. Meanwhile, Kartik proposes to Naira in Switzerland, and she is confused, not knowing what answer to give him. Naira initially refuses Kartik's proposal, which hurts him deeply. However, Naira realizes later that she loves him. She plans to tell Kartik that she loves him, but she finds out that Gayu also loves Kartik. Mishti tells Akshara and Naitik that Kartik and Naira love each other, and they, along with Gayu and Mishti, unite Kartik and Naira. After Diwali, Kartik and Naira confess their love for each other. Kartik doesn't want to talk about his family as he hates them. Later, his sister, Kirti, turns up with his aunt and uncle. Meanwhile, on Akshara's birthday, everyone goes for a veneration, but apparently Akshara dies in a car accident. Singhanias blames kartik for Akshara's death, as Kartik was found in a drunk and injured state at the accident spot. Kartik's family shows up and supports Kartik. Later, Naira finds that Kartik is not the culprit and it is someone else. Naira proves Kartik's innocence by finding the real culprit. Naira helps Naitik overcome grief and manage his company again. Kartik doesn't like Manish and Swarna as he thinks they were responsible for his mother's death. He refused to stay at home after marriage, while Naira promises Swarna to stay at Goenka villa after the wedding.
