The Star Plus popular and long-running show, 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai' has made it to the buzztown for several reasons. Be it the lead, Hina Khan's quitting rumours or the show going through drastic changes, the show has been going through some major developments.

And in a similar manner, the makers have been planning the much-awaited Naira (Shivangi Joshi) and Karthik's (Mohsin Khan) marriage, which, as we reported, will see an array of new entries.

While actors Sandeep Rajora and Parul Chauhan were roped in to play Karthik's parents; recently, there were also news about Sandeep Rajora not being a part of the show anymore.

Apparently, the makers felt that Sandeep would not fit the character well and hence decided to replace him.

According to sources, actor Shakti Anand, best known for 'Bharat Ka Veer Putra-Maharana Pratap' was roped in as the replacement.

However, when we contacted Shakti, he said, "No, I am not doing 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai'. There are no talks about it too."

We also asked him how is the forthcoming show, 'The King's Daughters' shaping up, to which he said, "We have already shot for the pilot episode and are now waiting for a call from the channel.

We wish Sandeep and Shakti all the best for their respective ventures..!
