'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai' surprised the audience with a leap of six months. Kartik has been in London all this while, and it seems after Sirat left, his family asked him to move there so that he can have a better and worry-free life. But he will soon be going back to India.

Meanwhile, there is a girl named Simran who is living and taking care of an old couple in Dalhousie who are florists. She is their helper and delivery girl. Though both Kartik and Sirat are miles away from each other, they still remember and think well of each other.
