Shruti Rawat on Gangaur track in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: It’s a celebration of culture, resilience and spirit

Bringing alive the richness of Indian traditions on screen, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai continues to strike an emotional chord with audiences through its culturally rooted storytelling. The ongoing Gangaur track has added a vibrant, festive layer to the narrative, and actress Shruti Rawat opens up about the experience of being part of this grand sequence, while also reflecting on the vision of producer Rajan Shahi.

Praising the man behind the show’s enduring success, Shruti shares, “Rajan sir is truly a genius when it comes to television. There’s a certain texture, a theme, and a feeling of family that defines our show, and he has maintained that beautifully over the years. He has never blindly followed trends but stayed true to the original flavour of the show. That consistency is our standard, and it’s inspiring for any actor.”

She further adds, “He is not just a great businessman but also an incredible human being—the best boss one could ask for. A great father and son, I think he’s a perfect human being. Nobody can dislike him. From storytelling to production value—costumes, jewellery—everything is always top-notch.”

While the visuals of the Gangaur sequence appear seamless on screen, Shruti reveals the intense effort behind the scenes. “We had a three-minute dance sequence in the Poddar house, but it took six to seven hours to shoot. I have a knee problem—my right knee is quite weak—but I didn’t want to give up. The next day, we were shooting at a far-off location and had to perform Ghoomar again. My leg was swollen and hurting, but the spirit on set keeps you going.”

She candidly reflects on the dedication actors bring to their craft, saying, “As artists, we often forget our pain while performing. It’s only after ‘cut’ or pack-up that everything comes back. On set, you’re like a zombie—just focused on giving your best.”

Highlighting the cultural essence of the track, she says, “Indian audiences deeply connect with traditions. Even the younger generation gets to learn about festivals like Gangaur through shows like ours. It’s important to preserve and pass on our rich cultural heritage.”

Interestingly, Shruti admits she wasn’t familiar with the festival earlier. “Now I know it’s about Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, symbolising love and devotion. Being a Shiv bhakt, I feel deeply connected to it.”

She concludes, “Gangaur stands out because of its authentic Rajasthani flavour. Every year, it becomes more grand and visually beautiful. It’s vibrant, culturally rich, and I feel truly blessed to be part of it.”
