In recent developments, the popular television series “Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai,” produced by Rajan Shahi’s Director’s Cut Productions, has undergone significant changes, leading to a decline in its TRP rankings. The fourth-generation leap saw the departure of Harshad Chopra and Pranali Rathore, who portrayed Abhimanyu and Akshara. These roles were subsequently taken over by Samriddhi Shukla and Shehzada Dhami as the new leads, now playing Abhira and Armaan.
However, the new cast and storyline have not resonated well with fans, causing the show to drop out of the top 10 in the TRP list. The audience has expressed dissatisfaction with both Akshara’s death and the marriage of Abhira and Armaan. Speculation about the serial going off-air has been circulating on social media, prompting responses from the new leads.
Responding to the off-air news, Samriddhi stated, “To be honest, such tags have come, but I don’t know. I mean, we haven’t officially… anything has been asked of me officially. It has not been said, and until any notice comes officially, then I do not think that this point should be discussed.”
Shehzada Dhami added, “We are not doing that bad, friend. Our show is going well. People are giving a lot of love. This serial should not be off air at all; I consider it a rumour. Don’t believe it at all.” Finally, the actress said, “I don’t think so; sometimes social media can be very misleading, so maybe it’s one of those things. Officially we don’t know anything like that; this is my statement.”
While both actors have not provided clear confirmation, it seems certain that the show might conclude after running for 14 years. Though the actors haven’t explicitly confirmed this news, it has reached them, raising questions about the fate of the long-running series. It remains to be seen whether the show, which has been on the air for 14 years, will come to an end or continue for a few more years on television. Notably, the show has seen the participation of several popular stars over the years.
The narrative of the show has evolved through various phases, featuring prominent stars like Hina Khan and Karan Mehra initially, followed by Shivangi Joshi and Mohsin Khan. Later, the story shifted to Pranali Rathod and Harshad Chopra. Currently, the storyline revolves around the fourth generation of characters.
As the actors remain tight-lipped, fans await official announcements regarding the future of “Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai” and whether it will continue its legacy on television.
