Rain plays spoiltsport: article

The producers and cast of STAR Plus' leading show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai were left in a quandary earlier this month, as heavy unexpected rains ruined their grand baraat sequence.

Talking about the incident, producer Vivek Jain says, "The baraat sequence was a high point in the show, for which we organised 200 juniour artistes, around 100 local actors, food, decoration, and art directors.

Since we had shot half of the sequence, we couldn't even change the track. We have incurred losses of above Rs 5 lakh as we had to cancel the shoot, and we didn't even have a
bank of episodes!"

The shooting couldn't resume for a long time as the rains refused to stop. The lead actors who were also quite upset sympathised with the unit. Karan Mehra who plays Naitik says, "It's unfortunate that shooting was cancelled, due
to rains, but this was unavoidable."
