Coronavirus crisis: Yeh Rishtey Hain Pyaar Ke team skips one-year celebrations

In a time when a majority of shows fail to entertain viewers even for a couple of months before going off-air, Star Plus’ popular show Yeh Rishtey Hain Pyaar Ke (2019) has clocked a year of its successful run.

Produced by well-known producer Rajan Shahi, YRHPK hit the airwaves on 18th March 2019. It is a spin-off to his long-running show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai which has been running successfully for more than a decade now.


While the milestone of completing one year is definitely significant for the team of Yeh Rishtey Hain Pyaar Ke, they have decided against celebrating the feat due to the Coronavirus pandemic which has hit the whole world.

“Everyone was indeed very happy on the set as it is a big thing. However, they did not want to make a big deal and have a big celebration due to the current situation in the country. It did not feel right to celebrate when so many people were suffering due to the deadly COVID-19,” says a source from the sets of the show.

Currently, Yeh Rishtey Hain Pyaar Ke is one of the most-watched fiction shows on Indian television. Since its premiere, it is the slot leader at 10:00 PM. It features Shaheer Sheikh, Rhea Sharma, Ritvik Arora, Kaveri Priyam and Roopal Patel on its ensemble cast.

Yeh Rishte Hain Pyaar Ke and Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hain both shows of producer Rajan Shahi have garnered immense love from the audience all across the world. We wish things return to normalcy soon so that the team can finally celebrate the success of YRHPK.

Two Sinners marks Samir Zaidi’s striking directorial debut

Samir Zaidi, director of 'Two Sinners', emerges as a powerful new voice in Indian film

Indian cinema has a long tradition of discovering new storytellers in unexpected places, and one recent voice that has attracted quiet, steady attention is Samir Zaidi. His debut short film Two Sinners has been travelling across international festivals, earning strong praise for its emotional depth and moral complexity. But what makes Zaidi’s trajectory especially compelling is how organically it has unfolded — grounded not in film school training, but in lived observation, patient apprenticeships and a deep belief in the poetry of everyday life.

Zaidi’s relationship with creativity began well before he ever stepped onto a set. “As a child, I was fascinated by small, fleeting things — the way people spoke, the silences between arguments, the patterns of light on the walls,” he reflects. He didn’t yet have the vocabulary for what he was absorbing, but the instinct was already in place. At 13, he turned to poetry, sensing that the act of shaping emotions into words offered a kind of clarity he couldn’t find elsewhere. “I realised creativity wasn’t something external I had to chase; it was a way of processing the world,” he says. “Whether it was writing or filmmaking, it came from the same impulse: to make sense of what I didn’t fully understand.”
