'Would call LUSTY BHABHI, crossed line when..': YRKKH's Garvita Sadhwani on brutal trolling for her character

Garvita Sadhwani, who essayed the character of Ruhi in Star Plus' Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, recently called it quits after her character on the show decided to relocate to Japan with her son. In an exclusive chat with us, Garvita, who started off as a negative character on the show, speaks about the kind of trolling she endured throughout her course on YRKKH.

When asked if she remembers any negative comments when her character was negative, the actress said, ''Ruhi started off as a positive character because at that time there were no problems or altercations between Abhira and her and when I entered during the Holi sequence, people were very receptive and there were very positive reactions to it. So for the first few months, I got used to very positive reactions. Itna kuch nahi tha.''

''Ofcourse she had a strong liking towards Armaan who was married to Abhira toh phir woh negative negative aana shuru hua. At that time I used to justify in my head, theek hai na, Ruhi us se pehle pyaar karti thi, it is a contract marriage, theek hai, justified. Toh ofcourse people will not view it like that, people had really started liking Abhira and Armaan which is really good for the show and wahi pura mudda tha ke Abhira aur Armaan sath aa rahe hai and Ruhi beech mein aarahi hai. Toh jab beech mein koi aata hai na, the other word for it is obviously the 'beech,' Garvita laughs.

Further, the Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai fame says that she did not feel bad until things were said to Garvita. ''Ruhi ke liye they would use certain terms like you know 'lusty bhabhi' and all that, Armaan was called 'bhabhi lover.' If you think about it, its fine, because rishte mein bhabhi thi. Initially I thought are these the kind of words that I want to listen for myself? Then I thought, its okay, its not Garvita and I am no one's bhabhi, so it is fine.''

''Up until a time when Ruhi and Abhira's sister wala track came up and Ruhi was out and out negative. That was when I was doing a proper negative part and that is when I think people forgot, for a little while there, difference between Ruhi and Garvita and only on social media, aise sadak pe chalte huye nahi. So at that time I read a few comments that Garvita is not acting well and I used to think, 'I don't think acting is the problem.' I have been the same and if anything, I will only grow, I will not go back. Main acting bhool nahi sakti hoon, its just that jab aapko koi insaan waise nahi pasand aaraha hota hai toh aapko uski har chiz hi galat lagti hai. Uss point pe problem ye thi ke ye kyun Shadi todne ki koshish kar rahi hai? In hindsight, honestly none of it matters because if you really think about it when I am leaving now, when I am not a part of the show, there is only love you know,'' Garvita says as she recalls the heavy trolling.

Ruhi ke liye they would use certain terms like you know 'lusty bhabhi' and all that, Armaan was called 'bhabhi lover.' If you think about it, its fine, because rishte mein bhabhi thi. Initially I thought are these the kind of words that I want to listen for myself? Then I thought, its okay, its not Garvita and I am no one's bhabhi, so it is fine.

Opening up about the new love interest in Armaan's life, she says, ''Now there is another girl who has come in between them and now she will get targetted. Ye chalta hi rehta hai, I feel that is just a part of the game. If you are the other person in the show, like if you are the third wheel, you will have to take a little bit of hatred to your stride. But it does not mean anything, people also do not mean any harm I am pretty sure.''
