Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai premiered on Indian television in 2009 and has since become one of the country's longest-running dramas, following generations of one family through marriage, conflict and reconciliation. Its title music became closely linked with the show itself, so viewers recognise it even outside an episode. As clips and edits spread on social media, the theme found a second life as shorthand for romance, family bonds and nostalgia, which keeps it popular with creators making wedding, anniversary and throwback content today.
