On Replacing Mohena Singh in 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai' - Harsha Khandeparkar

One of the biggest surprises came in a long time ago when it was confirmed that actor and dancer Mohena Singh has indeed quit Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai post her wedding. It has been quite a while now and things however did not change in the show as a replacement wasn't announced immediately.

After all this while, the replacement was recently confirmed where actor Harsha Khandeparkar was roped in to play the role of Keerti. Recently in an on-length interview with IWMbuzz, Khandeparkar opened up first on how she got the role, how will she prepare for it, and a message to all the fans of Keerti and the show.

She said, “I was told that the production house was looking for a replacement for Keerti for a while. And when I was told that I was the chosen one, I was on cloud nine. Also, the character as coming back after a while, and with a bang. Obviously, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai has been a very successful and popular television show. And to work with Producer Rajan Shahi has always been my dream. So there was no reason to refuse this role.”

She added, “Keeping the nuances and behavioral instincts of Keerti intact, I will give the role my own perception and input. Every actor has his/her own way of working into a new role. So I will do my part of it with utmost sincerity. Mohena Kumari as Keerti had a huge fan following. Surely viewers will miss her. But I am confident of doing a good job.”

On the message to the fans, she Kandeparkar concluded, “I am sure Mohena is being missed. She was cute as Keerti. I assure you all that I will do a good job and viewers will again love the Jodi of Keesh. Keep loving me as Keerti Naksh Singhania.”
