Hey everyone,
Yesterday i finished my shoot for Rishta.com.10 Long never ending months of seeing a unit give their blood and sweat for a show. It still hasn't sunk in properly that its over. God I'm going to miss being on that set 😭😭 Just wanted to share my amazing experience with you all. Rishta.com is by far the best work of my acting career. I'd like to thank Yashraj for finally coming in and changing the face of television. And a special mention to RAVINA KOHLI for nurturing all the shows and helping them evolve into fantastic content👏👏👏 Thank you to the back office PREETI SINGH, LIA AND JAYESH for treating us as family.(giving us our cheques)

I'd like to thank my brother RISHAB SETH who is the writer/director of the show for finally helping me discover the actor in me and giving me a character like Isha to play. I've had the privilege of mouthing some of the best written dailogues of my career thanks to his writing and also had the joy of making Isha come alive thanks to his vision and his never ending pursuit for the perfect take.👏👏👏
I'd like to thank all the various writers who have collaborated with him and made this show what it is. Thanks SANYUKTA CHAWLA, MRINALINI SHARMA&ATIKA RAO.👏👏👏

Next I'd like to thank ANIL SINGH the Director of photography(Cameraman) for making us all look like a million bucks and for his passion to make every frame PERFECT👏👏👏 Thank you to the entire camera team Mohan, Jhanvi, Babu, Pervez and each every light incharge for their hard work and passion for making Rishta one of the best looking shows in the history of Indian TV.

Let me now Thank the stylists MEHMA TIBB for setting the fabulous look for all the characters and SONYA TOMMY for continuing the fab job. So all the ladies who love the way we dress, these are the two remarkable women who are responsible for it.👏👏👏
Thank you to Saurabh, Nilesh, Vinod and Jeevan dada for looking after all our stuff for the past 10 months.👏👏👏

I'd like to thank KALEEM and SHONALI our make up and hair stylists and all their assistants for hiding all our flaws and making us shine.👏

I'd like to say a million thank yous and a thousand apologies to all the Assistant Directors who have worked the hardest and taken the maximum flack for our bad moods and fatigue. You guys were awesome. So, thank you TASCHA, VIKRAM, SIDDHARTH, MARUSHKA, HARSHAL, ASHWINI, RAVI, AHWAN, BHOOMI, BHAVNA👏

Thank you to the Art Department for building us new homes and offices and restaurants and cafes and roads and art galleries etc etc Kudos to SUKANT,SHAZIA AND SANDEEP and all their teams and all the BUNTYS. Thank you 👏👏👏

Thank you to the post production team for covering up our flawed performances with their talent. JABEEN MERCHANT, PULOMA and ABHIJEET our editors(who have laughed many a times seeing all the out takes), MANEK and MANAS our sound engineers(who did make us dub a fair amount inspite of it being sync sound), KAIZAD and the team of SDS for the fabulous background score.(which sometimes actually fades our dailogues)👏

I'd also like to thank AKSHAI PURI the producer and his team ASHOK and RAJESH and SATISH for feeding us awesome food and making us comfortable for the last 10 months. Thank you a thousand times to all the spot boys VINOD👏 SILVA👏PRADEEP👏GOVIND👏JOHN👏 and a few more who have taken care of our every need no matter how exhausted they've been and always, always, always greeted us with the warmest smiles⭐️ you all are the real stars on set.👏

And now I'd like to acknowledge my phenomenal co actors. KAVI SHASTRI for being ever so charming, loving and caring and for being the best Rohan Mehra.⭐️ KAVIN DAVE for being so damn talented and keeping us in splits all day long on set and for being the cutest Huzaifa ever⭐️KIREN JOGI for being the sexy kitten Ruchika and the most amazing female co star.⭐️SEEMA for being our adorable Sally and teaching us from her amazing talent⭐️HAPPY for being the weirdest Vignesh and for his crazy antics⭐️AND MICKEY MAKHIJA for being the funniest daddy and SHOHINI for being the most graceful Naina and not to forget to ALL THE FANTASTIC, TALENTED GUEST ACTORS who came and made every single Rishta unforgettable!!!👏
Thank you to ALL my amazing friends who came on our show to say a single line sometimes and make a small little part an unbelievably large character.⭐️

A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO 👏ADITYA CHOPRA👏 FOR BEING THE VISION BEHIND YRF TV AND MAKING US A PART OF THE GREATEST REVOLUTION ON INDIAN TELEVISION.👏

And FINALLY a big big big thank you to all our loyal fans on INDIA FORUMS, TWITTER AND FB for giving us all the love and support and making our hard work so so so worthwhile.👏Please continue watching the episodes. They'll be on air till END JUNE. And I can promise you, it will only keep getting better😊

Aww Shruti, all of us are dreading the actual end of the episodes being telecasted, and i can't imagine what you guys are going through. It's like losing a big part of your life in a way. I just hope that Sony gets R.com for a second season, because one season was just too short of all this amazingness that came from the ENTIRE team!

Thank you, all of you, for getting this show on air and really putting something on TV that was worth watching and waiting the entire week for! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Will edit soon
Edit:
Thank You Shruti for this message. Thank You to everyone for working together in making this show which you guys can be proud of, I have really enjoyed watching all that I have of Rishta.com and am looking forward to catching up with the show as it gears up to an end. It's ironic how lame shows stretch like a gum which has long lost its taste while occasionally shows like Rishta.com flickers for a fraction of a second-like that rare candle and goes off before you can admire the beauty of its flames. I hope the people who make decisions realise what an awesome ensemble cast and crew you guys have and give this show another season (which seems highly unlikely at this point). I think there were more and more people who were begining to be drawn to your show during its last leg rather than from the start and its really unfortunate that its not returning for a second season.
Hats off to the people behind the scenes and your brother. Thank you Rishab and everyone else involved in the script and the writing department, the show is what it is hugely because of all your efforts. Now since that is established, we would love to hear from the real Rohan Mehra aka Rishab Seth.... who should make a little guest appearance in this forum now don't you think?
And finally, Thank you to all the supporting actors - and even my favorite little Tyson for making this a memorable show. Even the Pug was a true rockstar!!
Good Luck with your future projects and hopefully we'll get to see something on the lines of R.com if not the second season soon.
And lastly, Kavi - hope to see you in another show soon.....

We are all hoping Rishta.com renews for a second season. Waiting impatiently for Wednesday to come over to watch a new episode is fun...and gave us something to look forward to every week. Rishta.com will be sorely missed at the end of June...It is fun watching all the characters with such unique personalities come together and bring alive such a great concept...

Good Luck for all your future projects!!

Lastly, thank you once again to Rishab (for being the vision behind this show, and such a fantastic writer/director), Kavi, Shruti, Kavin, Kiren for being such a fabulous ensemble cast that made us all love the characters of Rohan, Isha, Huzeifa, Ruchika so much!

Hi Shruti,

Thanks so much for that awesome message! It was really nice of you to thank the entire team. I gotta say you can really see the team effort in every single episode of Rishta.com. I mean everything, from the costumes, editing, script, dialogues, direction, and of course you guys as actors are all awesome!

I would like to tell you and the entire team that this is honestly the best Indian show that's currently on television. I just LOVED watching this show! And the best thing was that it kept getting better and better every week! I loved all the guest actors and their characters too! Everyone had something special to add to the show.

And I loved all the marriage cases. They were so interesting and it was really insightful to see how the cases affected the main characters.

You guys did an AWESOME job with this show! Seriously I love everything about it! We REALLY need more shows like these on tv. Hat's off for your entire team for bringing something so unique and different to Indian tv.

Like everyone else I'm also hoping for another season. This show really deserves another season! Well, I'm just glad that someone attempted to change the face of Indian tv with a show like this and hopefully other's will follow your example and maybe we'll finally get good shows on tv.

Thanks for all your hard work on this show and keeping us entertained for weeks. I'm excited for the rest of the season! :)

It's very nice and kind of you to interact with all your fans on this forum. I love your show, characterization, concept and acting. Hope this show will continue in its second season as I really look forward to my Wednesday evenings as much as I did my Thursday evenings when Friends and Seinfeld were on TV

You guys have changed the face of Indian TV and hope more people will have the courage to make realistic youth based shows like you all have...hope to see you all in another, if not Rishta.com 2,show

BTW, did Isha and Rohan end together in the last episode?? lolz
