Is Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai star Samridhii Shukla DATING someone? Actress FINALLY breaks silence

Samridhii Shukla, who has won hearts as the lead in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, has quickly become one of television’s most talked-about young stars. With her natural charm, emotional depth on screen, and a strong fan following, Samridhii has managed to carve a space for herself in the competitive world of Indian television. As she continues to shine in her career, fans have often been curious about her personal life, especially when it comes to matters of the heart.

In a recent candid conversation with Filmy Beat, Samridhii opened up about her dating life and clarified whether she is currently seeing someone. When asked about the same, the actress stated that she is not seeing anyone. ''Not as of now,'' Samridhii said. Opening up on the reason behind the same, Samridhii said, ''I think I’m a pretty serious person. So whoever I end up with, I’d want to eventually marry them. I take things seriously. That would be my end goal. So currently, there’s nothing like that going on.''

Opening up about her past relationships, Samridhii stated that she has imagined a future with everyone she has dated so far. ''Every person I’ve dated so far — I’ve always imagined marriage with them. I’m very old-school like that. I have imagined what life would be like if we got married. With some people, I couldn’t imagine it, and that’s why it ended. With others, maybe it was possible.''

Not as of now. I think I’m a pretty serious person. So whoever I end up with, I’d want to eventually marry them. I take things seriously. That would be my end goal. So currently, there’s nothing like that going on.

Ask her about her family members getting marriage proposals for her after her successful stint on Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai and she says, ''Yeah, they do get asked. People do ask, "What’s her plan? Does she want to get married?" And right now, I’m in a phase where I’m so busy, I don’t know what the scene is with marriage. Because marriage takes time, yaar. You need time. And if I’m working 12 hours a day, 30 days a month, when will I even give time to my husband? I know it sounds very 'homely' or traditional, but the truth is that every relationship needs time. Whether it’s a love marriage or arranged; the marriage phase needs a lot of foundational effort. So, yeah, I think at the beginning especially, you have to give a lot of time.''

When asked about her views on dating an actor, Samridhii stated that she is open to the idea. ''If I did date, I would love to, sure.''

Opening up about actors messaging her, or wanting to date her, Samridhii says, ''Very honestly, I don’t get interested in people that easily. It takes time — it has to grow on me. And for me, it has to be a mental match. If someone asks me out, maybe I’ll go, maybe I won’t. If the personality doesn’t intrigue me, I’m not someone who falls for looks and looks only. I want to see the person beyond that, their mental capability, their thought process. Just because someone is famous or good-looking; like actors who message in the DMs, that doesn’t interest me unless I’m genuinely interested in the person. I look for specific traits or habits I’d want in a partner.''

And what are these habits that intrigue her? She says, ''How you handle fights really matters to me. I move on from fights really quickly. For me, it's like, the night’s over, so the fight is over too. Sometimes I even forget about it the next day. So I think your partner should be able to move on quickly too. Of course, fights happen, that’s normal, but the way you fight matters. You can’t lose respect or dignity, or start accusing the other person. That really matters. And of course, a sense of humour helps a lot. I genuinely believe 'haste haste zindagi kat jaati hai.'''
