Yeh Hai Mohabbatein#Adaptations

Tamil dentist Ishita lyer and Punjabi businessman Raman Bhalla live in Delhi and are neighbours. Due to Ishita being infertile, her mother struggles to find a groom for her while Raman is a divorcee. Ishita forms a motherly bond with Raman's daughter Ruhi, who was abandoned by Raman's ex-wife Shagun Arora when she left him for his wealthy boss Ashok Khanna. Ishita and Raman initially hate each other and their families get embroiled in quite a few misunderstandings about each other like cultural differences notwithstanding. Eventually, Ishita and Raman marry to help Raman secure Ruhi's custody, calling it a marriage only on papers for Ruhi's sake. Mihir Arora is Shagun's brother but bonds with Raman as his Real Brother. He falls in love with Ishita's cousin Mihika. While Ashok and Shagun's wedding preps go on, Ashok also falls in love with Mihika and a scandal gets created. While Mihika tries to expose Ashok, their intimate news gets leaked leaving Mihir, Simmi and Shagun heartbroken. Later Mihika and Ashok get married, ditching Shagun. With time though going on and strongly supporting each other in every matter, Raman and Ishita fall madly in love with each other and consummate their marriage. Ishita grows up as the pillar of bhalla and iyer families helping them and fighting in every situation like Trisha and Neil's Marriage, Mihir and Rinky's Wedding, Rinky's Death, Simmi and Param's Plot, Romi and Sarika's Story, Sooraj's Rivraly etc.

Being hatred In heart due to Ashok's betrayal, Shagun continues to create trouble for the two throughout but later mends her ways. She reunites their son Aditya Bhalla with the Bhalla family and becomes the surrogate mother to Ishita and Raman's daughter Pihu. Nidhi, a scheming lawyer kidnaps Pihu. Ishita rescues Pihu but Nidhi escapes with Ruhi. They are presumed dead in an accident. Raman blames Ishita and break ties with her. A guilt-ridden Ishita attempts suicide and is presumed dead.

Ishita is alive and living in Australia with her childhood friend Mani and raising his niece Aliya, who is coincidentally working as a secretary for celebrity Ruhaan. Ruhaan is actually Ruhi who is now an adult and lives with a torturous Nidhi under this new identity. Raman is raising his daughter Pihu, who exactly looks like young Ruhi with Shagun and he hates Ishita for all the past incidents. Ishita eventually finds out about Ruhi and reunites with Raman. Shagun and Mani get married. Aditya falls for Aliya and they marry. Young Pihu, however, is unwilling to accept Ishita as her mother having grown up with Raman and Shagun.

Shagun, Mani, Aliya, and Pihu are living in Bangkok. Raman keeps a close eye on them. Pihu finally meets Ishita and accepts her as her mother and they return to India. Pihu accidentally pushes her cousin Ananya down the stairs and she dies. Ishita takes the blame to save Pihu and is arrested.

Raman's sister Simmi and her husband Param torture Raman and Ishita for Ananya's death. However, Ishita is ultimately vindicated. Aditya begins to conspire against Raman and kidnaps Roshni with who he was cheating on Aliya. Ishita fatally shoots and kills Aditya to save Roshni.

Eight months later, Ishita shelters a pregnant Roshni who is carrying Aditya's child. She is kicked out of the house because the family blames her for the death of Aditya, especially Raman and a few others such as Ruhi and her brother-in-law Bala, but doesn't hate them as she doesn't blame them for hating her. When Raman is framed for a fake scandal, Ishita steps up and defends him, saving him and his family's reputation. The family apologizes to her for ruining her life but she forgives and reunites with the Bhallas family after saving Raman and Roshni delivers a son who is named after Aditya. Raman apologizes for the way she treated her after Aditya's death and hurting her emotionally badly but she isn't angry at all and also apologizes to him for what happened. They both forgive each other and reunite again. Roshini later leaves to prevent more complicated situations for the family which leaves them heartbroken. Ruhi falls in love with Karan whose brother Rohan falls for Aliya. The two couples marry but Aliya and Ruhi found out the brothers only married them to get revenge on Raman due to a past history with their mother Sudha. However, Rohan realizes he has fallen for Aliya for real and so does Karan a while after with Ruhi. The Bhallas meet Aditya's lookalike Yug.

Aliya deludes herself into believing Yug is Adi and falls in love with him. Rohan dies in order to save Raman. Drugged by a man named Arjit Saxena, Raman falls into a coma. Later, he fully recovers, returns home and reunites with his family thanks to Ishita's love and care for him. As Karan and Ruhi prepare to marry, Ruhi discovers that she is infertile just like Ishita. Karan's mother Sudha plans to cancel the marriage, but later she accepts Ruhi. Ruhi and Karan marry and adopt a baby girl. Ishita and Raman too marry once again and on their reception Preesha Srinivasan, a gynaecologist also Ishita's niece visits them who is raising her nephew Saransh alone. The rest of the story continues through Preesha under the banner Yeh Hai Chahatein.

In November 2019, Ekta Kapoor revealed, "When I started {{Lang|hi-latn|Yeh Hai Mohabbatein|italic=no}}, I remember going to Gaurav Banerjee from Star Plus and asking him for a non-prime time slot because I wanted to do a show on a social issue. I had stopped watching much television and I wanted to make YHM without the trappings of a TRP driven show. A show about a woman who cannot have children, a stepmother who according to Indian terms is considered bad! Words in India like barren and evil stepmother got used so often and labelled women in the worst poss way. This show got so much love that it went on for six years. And from a non-prime time slot to a prime-time slot."{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tv/news/hindi/ekta-kapoor-bids-adieu-to-yeh-hai-mohabbatein-introduces-ishimas-niece-in-spin-off-yeh-hai-chahtein/articleshow/72271952.cms|title=Ekta Kapoor bids adieu to Yeh Hai Mohabbatein; introduces Ishima's niece in spin-off Yeh Hai Chahtein|website=Times Of India|date=28 November 2019|access-date=28 November 2019|archive-date=18 July 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230718082856/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tv/news/hindi/ekta-kapoor-bids-adieu-to-yeh-hai-mohabbatein-introduces-ishimas-niece-in-spin-off-yeh-hai-chahtein/articleshow/72271952.cms|url-status=live}}

Despite first airing in the late night slot 11:00pm (IST), {{Lang|hi-latn|Yeh Hai Mohabbatein}} received better ratings than expected and ranked as the fourth most popular show on Star Plus.{{Cite web|url=https://www.indiantelevision.com/television/tv-channels/gecs/star-plus-yeh-hai-mohabbatein-gets-dual-time-slot-140920|title=Star Plus Yeh Hai Mohabbatein gets dual time slot|website=Indian Television|date=20 September 2014|access-date=7 November 2019|archive-date=3 June 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220603195201/https://www.indiantelevision.com/television/tv-channels/gecs/star-plus-yeh-hai-mohabbatein-gets-dual-time-slot-140920|url-status=live}} In 2014, it was moved to the 7:30pm slot replacing Saraswatichandra. Star Plus SVP marketing Nikhil Madhok stated that the move was made after audiences' feedback that a section of viewers found the 11:00pm slot too late. He further explained, "This was a show where repeat viewing the next day or viewing on online digital medium is very high. So the dual airing will not only help the existing viewers who love the show to watch it twice but also add a whole new set of viewers".

Roshni's baby arc was received poorly by fans, which led to a further downfall in TRPs. StarPlus intervened, asking the producer, Ekta Kapoor, to change the storyline of the show while also giving it a 6-month deadline to increase the ratings. Ishita's fake death drama to expose Param led to the show re-entering the top 20 shows in week 31 of the year 2018 occupying 18th place with 3889 million viewership.{{cite web|url=http://www.tellychakkar.com/tv/tv-news/barc-india-ratings-yeh-rishta-kya-kehlata-hai-top-3-dil-hai-hindustani-2-enters-the|title=BARC India Ratings: Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai in top 3; Dil Hai Hindustani 2 enters the charts!|access-date=17 August 2018|archive-date=26 April 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230426153620/https://www.tellychakkar.com/tv/tv-news/barc-india-ratings-yeh-rishta-kya-kehlata-hai-top-3-dil-hai-hindustani-2-enters-the|url-status=live}} After the change in show timings to late night TRPs have dropped ranging from 1.2 to 1.4 mostly but had been the slot leader since then.
