Hina Khan hurt by Rajan Shahi comment: I was in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata

There seems to be no end to the blame
game between Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai
and its original leads, Hina Khan and Karan
Mehra. After both Hina and Karan who used
to play Akshara and Naitik on the show left,
its producer told indianexpress.com, "With
due respect to both the actors, it is a fact
that after Naitik (Karan's character) left we
could consolidate our position much
stronger and the TRPs actually increased.
Likewise, after Hina's exit, the show has
grown."
He spoke at length about the much-
speculated exits of the show's stars, why he
wouldn't want to bring Akshara back and
his belief that the show should go on for
another eight years. In response to the
interview, a hurt Hina Khan told a
publication, "I don't want to get into this
blame game. Well, he can say whatever he
wishes to."

producer Rajan Shahi
Saying it was disheartening, she added,
"Everybody has the right to express, but
being a producer, why was he quiet when
we were part of the show for eight long
years? During that time, he went on record
to praise both of us for our dedication and
professionalism. And honestly, we were
probably the only lead pair on television
who continued to be with the show for
eight consecutive years. Despite the work
pressure, disagreements and other work
opportunities, we continued to stay loyal to
the show and supported the producer."
More from the world of Entertainment:
Hina Khan is "heartbroken" after knowing
that the producer of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata
Hai, a show to which she gave eight years
of her career has "stooped down to such
level". She said, "We never spoke ill about
the producer, the production house or the
show, but it's heartbreaking that the most
senior person from the production house
stoops down to this level. People can always
choose what to say and what not to."

Karan Mehra who essayed the role of Naitik
for eight years, left the daily soap in June
2016 to be a part of reality TV show Bigg
Boss 10. But even after coming out of the
Bigg Boss house, he has not been in touch
with Shahi. Rather the actor is stunned by
Shahi's comment about him shooting for
only two-three hours in a day. "If he is
saying that I worked for two-three hours,
he is referring to someone else because my
attendance register is the proof. Also, I gave
my notice period in advance. I don't know
who he has a grudge against and why is he
saying it now?" Karan said.
"I am happy in my space and looking
forward to new beginnings. I am not in
touch with him anymore and I can't keep
commenting on other people's grievances.
All I can say is, To each his own'." he added.
It looks like after the lead pair of Yeh Rishta
Kya Kehlata Hai got replaced, the
relationship between the ex-leads and the
producer has got sour and neither of them
is ready to come back together ever again.

Hina deserves to be respected in the fact that yrkk would have not become what it is without Hina, and yes, she will be the main character always, even in memories. Without Akshara there is no story. Whatever took place between Hina and the producer does not change this fact. I miss her greatly and consider the older days of yrkk as their golden years. Nothing and no one can bring that kind of chemistry and magic again, it was a one of a kind.
