This is the moment I was waiting for: Samridhii Shukla on YRKKH being back to the top 5 race

Samridhii Shukla, previously seen in Colors TV's 'Saavi Ki Savaari,' has been captivating audiences with her portrayal of Abhira in Star Plus' popular series 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai.' Taking on the role of the fourth generation lead, the actress has gradually secured a special place in the hearts of viewers. However, her journey wasn't without challenges, as the audience initially struggled to accept the new cast, and comparisons were drawn between the show's storyline and that of Star Plus' 'Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin.' Both Samridhii and Shehzada faced online trolling, and rumors circulated about the show facing cancellation due to declining TRPs.

In a recent interview with India Forums, Samridhii expressed her joy about the show's revival in TRP ratings, overcoming trolls, and securing the third spot this week. She shared, ''This is the moment I was waiting for, and trust me, I might sound very positive, but I always had this kind of intuition that it will do well. Everything takes a little time to grow on people, right? Be it a habit, be it love, be it anything; everything takes a little time. So we were all working very hard, so I knew the team overall, be it the production house, the actors, directors—everyone was doing their best. So it was just about the perfect timing. I just wanted the audience to see it and watch it because I knew in time they would like it. And I am so overwhelmed right now, you know because it would have sucked if I would have been wrong (Chuckles).''

The actress further adds, ''Of course, there was all the negativity and trolling, but you know it is all a part of the game. I feel if you are relishing all the good moments, then you have to take all the negativity and the trolling with a pinch of salt. You cannot always expect people to be all praises; that will keep happening. What you got to do is focus on your work, and we did that, and thankfully, we are in the top 5 race now, and it is a beautiful feeling. What else do I say about the same.''
