This Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai actress quits the show after six years

Actress Niyati Joshi, who has been an important part of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai for the past six years, has announced that she is leaving the show. Niyati, who played the role of Swarna in Rajan Shahi’s popular family drama, confirmed her exit through an emotional Instagram post.

In her heartfelt note, Niyati did not mention the exact reason for her decision to quit but expressed her gratitude for the journey she had on the show. She wrote, 'They say that nothing lasts forever. It’s time to bid an emotional farewell to my character Swarna in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, after six glorious years, but the countless memories, beautiful friendships, and the respect and adulation it brought me will last a lifetime. DKP will always remain my second home. Not easy to say goodbye to something that was close to my heart. YRKKH I will miss you.'

Her message shows how much the show and the people she worked with meant to her. The audience loved Niyati’s portrayal of Swarna, and she became a well-recognized face in the television industry through this role.

This is not the first major exit from the show in recent times. Earlier, after Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai took a seven-year leap, Garvita Sadhwani, who played Ruhi, and Saloni Sandhu, who played Charu, also decided to leave the show. These changes have brought in a shift in the cast as the makers continue to bring new twists to the storyline.

Currently, the show’s track is focusing on Abhira’s emotional journey as she tries to win back her daughter Pookie, also known as Maira, who is living with Armaan. Abhira is determined to prove her love and motherhood, while facing challenges from people trying to keep her away from her daughter. This intense drama has kept viewers hooked, with high emotional stakes and power-packed performances.

Niyati Joshi’s departure marks the end of an era for Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, as she has been part of many memorable tracks over the years.

As the show continues with new twists, the audience will miss Swarna’s presence. However, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai remains one of Star Plus’ most loved and longest-running shows, and it will be interesting to see how the makers shape the upcoming storyline without her.
