Now that the show is ending i just realised DT is the only one among the entire cast who has featured in maximum episodes like almost all the episodes telecasted till today, i dnt remember she being completely missing from YHM for too many episodes over these years, out of almost 1900 episodes she must have featured in almost 1800+ over these 6 years while others have been MIA.
Shireen, Aly, Raj, Ruhanika, Mr and Mrs iyer, Mr and Mrs Bhalla, Pankaj, Anita all of them have been away from the show for longest time either by choice or because they didnt have the tracks, some of them were away for personal reasons like Shireen, some went to explore other mediums like Aly, some just went on longest leave to travel like Raj and were never brought back, some left like Shruti,Resha, Shehnajzi, Ruhanika used to be away due to studies and old generation and Pankaj were away as they didnt have much to do, even Shehnazji when was there used to come and go to London to visit her family, Anita well lesser said the better she can come and go on her will, like if she starts missing YHM and wants to shoot she can call her bestie and tell her and her track will be written and she will be brought backđ jokes apart like she has been away too, KP also took the sabatical for KKK for 4/5 months and he was away on a business trip in the show when he got married, Dt was kidnapped during her marraige but she came back in like 2/3 episodes, so by giving separate shots over last year she still managed to be there in almost every episode, i m not justifying just saying that somehow daily soaps in India cant afford their female lead being away for more than 2 days at a stretch, while others can easily be shown going away and coming back but not the female lead, some different logic altogether and she was by effect seen in almost all the episodes, must be a task to manage for any female lead in a show and somehow they are paid lesser than their male counterparts in terms of remuneration which is also the case in YHM, KP's per day is more than DT's if reports are to be believed which is kinda unfair for any female actress! But again there is a different thought that since the medium is women driven men have no incentive other than money to be there and play the second fiddle luckily YHM gave equal opportunities to both in terms of weightage atleast for over 2 years. Anyways just a observation so thought of sharing it!
