Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, a beloved TV show entertaining audiences since January 2009, has undergone several transformations with time leaps influencing the cast. Currently featuring Pranali Rathod and Harshad Chopda as the lead couple, the impending time leap is anticipated to unfold in either late November or early December, promising a fresh chapter in the series.
