Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai Controversy: Things turned ugly on the sets of Star Plus' hit show as two leads were fired due to unprofessional behaviour. In a major development, Rajan Shahi terminated Shehzada Dhami's and Pratiksha Honmukhe's contracts. His decision set several tongues wagging as it was centred around the firing of the male lead.

WHY WAS SHEHZADA DHAMI FIRED FROM YEH RISHTA KYA KEHLATA HAI?

On Monday (March 18), the makers issued a statement, confirming that Shehzada Dhami and Pratiksha Honmukhe have been fired from the Star Plus serial. They alleged that Shehzada was 'unprofessional' on the sets of the show and his disregard for work ethics was evident from the first day of shoot.

While Shehzada Dhami has remained tight-lipped about the development, the production house has slammed for his behaviour. His co-stars from YRKKH including Shruti Ulfat and Shivam Khajuria have also spoken against the Choti Sarrdaarni actor.

"Recent events have prompted Directors Kut Production to take a firm stance against unprofessional behavior displayed by two actors from the TV show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai Shehzada Dhami, and Pratiksha Honmukhe. Shehzada Dhami's disregard for work ethics became evident from day one, as he consistently threw tantrums and mistreated the crew," Rajan Shahi said in his official statement as quoted as saying by BollywoodLife.

WHO IS NEW ARMAAN, NEW ROOHI IN YEH RISHTA SERIAL?

Rohit Purohit has replaced Shehzada Dhami as the new Armaan in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai while Garvita Sadhwani has stepped into the shoes of Pratiksha Honmukhe. The two celebrities have already started shooting for the show and their entry will air in the upcoming episodes.

Shruti Ulfat, who played Shehzada's on-screen mother in YRKKH, revealed that Shehzada and Pratiksha preferred staying aloof and didn't mingle much on the sets with others. While they exchanged pleasantries, she couldn't form a bond with the duo.

"It will be a lesson for all the actors who disregard their work & take things for granted. I think the decision is right & is in the favor of the entire unit. Rajan is a calm individual & he gave them many chances but things didn't improve," Shruti Ulfat told Pinkvilla.
