Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Naira and Kartik’s new lives

MUMBAI: The episode starts with Naira daydreaming about Kartik and her after five years of her life in Goa, which she spent alone. She tells herself that she needs to remain strong and that she shouldn’t think about Kartik anymore. While she was exercising near the beach, she sees a girl drowning in the beach and rushes to rescue her. She motivates the girl to remain strong, while the latter remains unconscious. Lisa joins Naira and appreciates her strength and risk-taking attitude. Seeing Naira in a grave mood, Lisa asks her about her past. However, Naira remains silent like she always does. Lisa promises her that one day, she would make her tell her (Lisa) about her past life and the reason for her sadness.

 

Naira walks towards her home when someone clicks her pictures, hiding behind a tree. She tells the person to not click her pictures, as she did not like to be clicked. The person stops clicking and Naira worried as she thought she had offended him. She goes home and look for him and finds her son resting on the hammock. She apologises to him while he was in a playful mood. Naira’s son Kairav tells her that it was his first day at school and that she forgot to get him ready. She gets sad at the thought of Kairav going to school, as she had protected Kairav from the world from last five years. Later, she goes to drop Karav at school and meets the Father. She confides in him and tells him about her worries. She tells him that now it was time for her to let her guard down and send Kairav to school.

 

She also tells him that she feared Kairav might ask her questions about his father. The Father assures Naira that everything will fall in place and that she does not have to worry. Here, Kartik is thrilled about Vansh's first day at school. Suhasini tells Kartik not to spoil him. Kartik tells Suhasini that it is Vansh’s big day. In the meantime, Manish is seen near his sports bike and has transformed into a cool personality, riding a bike and wearing biker’s clothes. Suwarna teases him and tells that he is getting younger in his old age. Later, Kartik checks to make sure all the items necessary for school are kept. He realises the water bottle is missing and calls Vansh’s mother, who brings his bottle.

 

Everyone praises her to be organised. In the meantime, the teacher hands a name tag to Kairav and tells him to get it filled by the name and number of either his mother or father. Kairav gets baffled at the mention of his father and comes out of the school with a sad face. Looking at Kairav’s face, Naira gets worried and asks him to tell her what the matter was. Kairav is a jovial kid and he breaks into laughter, telling Naira that it is one of his pranks. In the the meantime, Kartik reminisces his moments spent with Naira and gets emotional.
