There’s no tussle with the producers: Niharika Chouksey on quitting ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’

Star Plus show ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’ is gearing up for an intense drama. The current track of the show revolves around Harshvardhan Birla being furious on wife Manjari and have declared that it’s because of her that he lost his job. This hasn’t gone down well with their son Abhimanyu who can’t stand anyone disrespecting his mother, not even his father. He now wants Manjari to leave Harsh.

While there’s high voltage drama unfolding in the show, the viewers will not be able to spot actress Niharika Chouksey who plays the character of Nishtha Birla in the show as the actress has decided to put down her papers and move ahead with other projects.

India Forums got in touch with Niharika and asked her about the reason why she quit the show, she said, “Well, there was not anything substantial for the character to perform. I was losing out on a lot of projects and thus I decided to quit the show and focus on other projects”.

It’s a mutual decision and there’s no tussle between me and the producers. I absolutely had a great time shooting with Directors’ Kut Production house (smiles).
