The beloved bond between Yeh Hai Mohabbatein co-stars Divyanka Tripathi and Ruhaanika Dhawan has once again won the hearts of fans. Years after the popular television drama went off air, the actress' touching exchange with her on-screen daughter on social media has sparked a wave of nostalgia among viewers.
The heartwarming interaction began after Ruhaanika Dhawan shared a heartfelt note for Divyanka on social media, expressing gratitude for the love, care and guidance she received while growing up on the sets of Yeh Hai Mohabbatein. Looking back on their journey together, Ruhaanika credited Divyanka for playing a significant role in her childhood and shaping many of her fondest memories.
Responding to the emotional message, Divyanka penned an equally touching reply that instantly resonated with fans. The actress wrote, "You taught me how to be a mommy. Watching you grow has been one of the greatest joys of my life. You'll always be my little Ruhi, no matter how grown up you become."
Her words reminded fans of the iconic bond between Ishita Bhalla and Ruhi, one of the most loved mother-daughter relationships on Indian television. Their on-screen chemistry was central to Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, which enjoyed a successful run for several years and continues to have a loyal fan following even today.
Soon after screenshots of their exchange surfaced online, social media was flooded with emotional reactions. Fans reminisced about the show's memorable moments and praised the duo for maintaining such a close relationship long after the series concluded. Many commented that their bond appears just as genuine off-screen as it did on television.
Several users also pointed out how quickly Ruhaanika has grown up, with many recalling her performance as the adorable young Ruhi that made her a household name. Others appreciated Divyanka for continuing to shower the young actress with affection and encouragement over the years.
Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, produced by Ekta Kapoor, aired from 2013 to 2019 and starred Divyanka Tripathi and Karan Patel in lead roles. The show revolved around Ishita and Raman Bhalla and their evolving family, with Ruhaanika's portrayal of Ruhi becoming one of its biggest highlights.
Although the serial ended years ago, moments like these continue to remind fans why the show remains special. Divyanka's affectionate reply to Ruhaanika not only celebrated their enduring relationship but also rekindled cherished memories of one of television's most iconic on-screen families.
