As the TB article title of Rati Pandey is misleading and some of the answers are not correct..., some people are mis interpreting her answers...
So being fan of Rati, I thought I should clear this ...Don't think that i am crazy...I am also a professional So I don't like Rati getting harsh comments with out her fault..She had worked hard for 2 years and gave life to our NUPUR ..So we should not forget that we are MN fan and hence we should appreciate ArTi also whatever decision they take...
This is the actual interview of Rati Pandey .

WRITTEN UPDATE:
--------------------------
PART1:
-----------
1. About India-forums??
India-Forums website is one of my favorites..I always log on to IF thrice or 4 times a week..I think I have got tremendous amount of fans here..she told soem thing about IF...so I wish all the success to the website in future.
2. How has been your journey in MJHT ?
The entire journey has been very nice and awesome. The experience that I have gained from this show has been outstanding. The character of Nupur was like a dream role for me because it was more of like me. The role was very entertaining. The journey was tremendous...Though I was a bit apprehensive about the role my producer incited a lot of confidence in me.It was a joyful journey and when I go back to my past, it was very joyful..
3. How much would you miss the sets of MJHT?
Definitely miss the sets but not that much because I haven't left the sets in anger as you are hearing the rumors , instead I have moved ahead gaining lot of knowledge and I'm still a learner and i don't say that I am the best actess... so I would miss very sweet memories of the show but don't wish to get carried away in emotions.
4. How much can you relate to the lively,chirpy character of Nupur?
Nupur as a character was very confident, bubbly where her phrases weren't taken seriously so I'm very thankful to the creative's that they gave me such scenes where I could prove the strength in my character through different transitions and shades at regular intervals.like a sister, friend, a gang leader ..etc.,
I would again like to thank the creatives for beliving me a lot
I think Rati Pandey as a person is also equally confident as Nupur. I think i have proved myself
5) How much would you miss your on screen partner Mayank aka Arjun Bijlani? (I am not sure of this question is correct because she said anything , but not anyone as given in the article)
As I said I won't miss any thing that much because it's all cherished and it' all good memories that I have together from the sets... It's like I have done my job and now I'm all calm and relaxed.
It seems many of our ArTi/MAYUR friends are little bit upset with the above answer....We all very well know that Rati is very reserved person and more professional and does not express her feeling infront of every one...Moreover the main purpose of the interview is to cheer up her fans and control them to not to bash CVs or PH or co-actors..we all know that ArTi are very good friends..If they had problems, we could not have got to see our adorable couple MAYUR for 2 years.....
She said she is taking all good memories with her. And in her good memories, co-stars come as well....
6) I think the following answer is for a different question, not for the previous one
So I would like to convey this to my fans too don't be upset and if I need to clarify to you I would say Nupur's character had just that much to serve and it was also what the story demanded.
Even though we actors were told that none of the characters would die and kept it as suspence but before shooting the shradh (yearly pooja for expired family members) scene I was informed that my character will die. It was equally shocking news for me too but I was anyways planning to leave the show and it would have been more shocking and heart throbbing news if I would have walked out.
But it was totally creative's as well as my decision and I got a very good opportunity to walk off. I found it to be the safest time to go so I approached my creative's and said if one character has to die let that be me.
7) But why in first place you wanted to leave the no.1 show on television?
I would say that I only think about myself so if I think that I had that caliber, that potential and I'm not getting an opportunity to showcase. For me everything had been extracted from Nupur's character and how much could it be exaggerated.
I was uncomfortable and not feeling good to play certain tracks , So i informed them several times...And I feel they have taken right decision and they thought that I would to do something better... And I feel this is the best turning point till now. This turning point increased the TRPs and I would touchwood ki mere jaane ke bad TRPs had been increased...They were some problems between channel and PH and as an actor I was not comfortable to exaggerate my character...
8) But along with you the other three characters are also long going so why just you very evicted?
I truly accept that but they wanted to kill the most popular character and by god's grace I have received immense popularity through this show and I'm thankful that all you people loved me so much. And I want all my fans to smile because it just the character that has died not Rati Pandey... And I bet you no one can replace Nupur and let her be as a legend.
And I'm confident that in my future projects I'll surely prove myself and beat the character of Nupur as well. I want you to remember Nupur but move on with Rati.We all should move on with our life
9) Are you satisfied with the present track of MJHT?
(laughs) Frankly after my last episode on the show I haven't followed it that much as I never used to get time .. I have just watched 2-3 episode of season 2. I would just like to wish all the luck to the new comers and hope this show gets more successful.
I do not like the present track much but I'm happy that season 2 is happening because of Nupur. And from the audience point of view though the TRP's have gone up but I feel something missing in the track.
10) So do you look forward for a comeback?
I can't predict about that because the future is very uncertain.if it dosent happen u will remain hurt...
So i can't say anything about come back...It depends on the situation...
11) WHY NUPUR ?? (this question is my assumption)
And I would again say this decision is taken by myself and CVs..They thought that if Rati wanted to leave , instead of sending her after 3-4 months, let us create a twist and suspese in the story and let her go now itself...
I don't think if arjun dies (smiles and says sorry mayank dies ) or samrat dies or gunjan dies ,this much twist would have come..one has to die amongst the girls as they are inter realted to 4 of them..And if NUPUR dies, it will be big news..
12) Fan's have been very hurt by the creative's decision so what's your take on it?
I know the fans have been hurt and became emotional when nupur is died..it was shocking news. When I saw the episode and even while enacting it I had tears in my eyes. The last shot when I look towards Mayank in red saree it was a one take shot and my director and close friend Ravi's eyes also got wet. While watching the episode and seeing the garland for my photo frame, i got tears in my eyes and I was like khatham..okay...Though it was purely my decision, as i am very much attached to NUPUR character for al most 2 years, i got emotional..
But please don't be agressive...I feel great that i have got fans who understand me so well and identifies my caliber and talent....Our journey is not yet over..Picture abhi bhaki hai meri dost...
PART2:
-----------
The channel had also conducted some voting poll so what's your take on it?
Fans even feel that channel has manipulated the votes?
There was even a rumor that you the creative scripted your exit because of your dictating terms on sets?
The above 3 questions which were given in TB article , were not shown in the interview
13) Fans feel that Nupur was the charm of the show and as you are not part of the show they won't view it anymore?
Firstly thanks for the compliment and secondly it's completely audience decision to watch it or not. But I would say give your good wishes to new comers also because I too was new comer once.and i am also still learning\
14) What's your take on your exit from the show?
I'm very happy and convinced and truly respect the creative's and channels decision. I didn't want to stretch Nupur's character further than this it has been 2years though it was a pleasure I feel it was high time. It was pleasure working with the PH and creatives..And they are highly intelligent enough to take any kind of decision for the show...And if it is for the better ment of the show, it's good enough...And I feel it is for the betterment of myself too.
15) We had a word with your co-actors they too are quite upset with your exit so what's the message for them? This is not the corect question ..(I think question is about the fans being aggressive on Creatives(especially sushmitha) and her co-star)
I have gone through 'n' number of mails and after going through all of them I feel I have the craziest fan and I am shocked to see i have these many no.of fans who are upset with NUPUR's exit
I have even received abusive mails especially to Sushmitha.She is one of my good friend..And let me clarify you one thing , she is not one of the creatives..She is our EP..(Executive Producer) and she has no replationship with the script writing..
Sushmitha, I apologize on behalf my fans ..I know they are touched and shocked.
so it's a request to my fans that please don't get so aggressive.and there is no fault of anyone in this
Talking about Arjun, It's my professional life and it's my personal life and i would like to keep it within myself..and I don't share with any co-star or producer or don't say it on sets...whatever had happened , is between me and CVs...And Arjun has nothing to do with..He is an actor and he is doing his work...
16) Did you ever imagine that fans would show such kind of remorse for you?
I had never imagined that my fans would use such harsh language on my exit and I really felt bad and please don't use such harsh language..And I never imagined my character is appreciated so much. Even for one episode NUPUR was not shown, my fans used o get upset and now she is not at all there in the show..I know it is very touchy and I myself felt bad while shooting for last scene..
And I get touched when my fans call me 'Dii' (sister) ..They call me Dii diii (laughs) and they feel that I am their idol ..please don't treat me as idle...And please stand by me at this juncture too.
17)What was the reaction of your family members?
I have always treated them as my audience and never disclosed my storyline to them ..Since a week he was thinking Kaun mar ne waala hai..Arey aaj tho ARJUn bhi agaya!, Are Samrat bhi agaga!, ..When I came they were confused and I said please keep watching....They were shocked when they saw the last episode and my mother was very upset because no parent could even imagine their child's death but they believe in me and my talent and are all supportive.
18) So what's next now?
As you can see now I'm very chilled and relaxed. I'm going abroad with my family for a month's break and I don't wish to take any hasty decision. And I have been getting lots of offers from the time of MJHT but in future I would like to work in show which would be more individualistic and doesn't portray too many leads (smiles) so that I can portray my caliber again.
I feel upset when I watch many shows and actors (i don't want to name them)and think what am I here ...But definitely .I want to name one girl Ratan, from my home town patna..I really love her performance..Her expresions are mindblowing and looking forward to work with her...
mentioned about her stage performance on 19th June in gold awards..
19) Message to fans.
I'm really touched and overwhelmed by the fact that audiences have appreciated Rati Pandey as much as they have appreciated my character of Nupur. You have understood me as a person so I feel I have got intelligent group of fans. I am speechless and only becasue of you love I have reached this level...So thank you so much for loving me so much and always stand by me because you are my strength, if go weak , Rati pandey also will become become..NUPUR will always be a legend ..We have created one NUPUR and now we all can create another character...

EDITED:
Many members have following questions after reading her interview.
Why does not she miss sets or co-stars ??
She said she is taking all good memories with her.. And in her good memories , co-stars come as well....
she was more interested in clarifying CV's rather than costars....and she is so attached to Nupur character ,she was talking about her character....She gave this interview to her fans to cheer up them and stop them not to bash any one because of her exit from the show..
is there any problem with her co-star?
There is no problem with her co-star...They are very good friends... during interview she did mention mayank as arjun (several times, when she was talking about the scenes), samrat and gunjan .
Infact in her interview she requested her fans that please dont bash Arjun because he does not have anything to do with her decision.he is an actor and he is doing his work
.So it is clear that there is no problem between them..
Why is she so over-confident??
She is not over-confident..She is trying to be strong and move on in life ...She is just confident as she believes in herself and hard work..She has support from her fans and Parents... ...
Why does not she like current track in season2??
She said that if I watch the show as an audience, there is something missing in the track ...Even many viewers are not liking the current track...So she is one of those viewers who are not satisfied with the current track..
Instead she wished them and the show "I would just like to wish all the luck to the new comers and hope this show gets more successful."
She even requested audience to wish them good luck as they are new comers..."I would say give your good wishes to new comers also because I too was new comer once.and i am also still learning"
