Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai Controversy: New Roohi Garvita Sadhwani Opens Up On Replacing Pratiksha Honmukhe

Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai Controversy: Rajan Shahi's show has remained in the headlines ever since the production house fired Shehzada Dhami and Pratiksha Honmukhe. In a shocking development, the makers released a statement, confirming that they have terminated the contract of the two actors, who joined the Star Plus show after the generation leap along with Samridhii Shukla.

WHY WAS SHEHZADA DHAMI REPLACED IN YEH RISHTA KYA KEHLATA HAI?

When Rajan Shahi introduced the generation leap in YRKKH, little did he know that he would fire the actors within five months. Shehzada and Pratiksha have ousted from the serial due to 'unprofessional behaviour' and failure to meet the requirements of the character respectively.

While the duo has remained tight-lipped about the major controversy, the production house has slammed them in the statement. From accusing Shehzada of being unprofessional to alleging that he threw tantrums on the sets, the makers have levelled various allegations 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.

GARVITA SADHWANI IS NEW ROOHI

Garvita, who earlier worked with Rajan Shahi in Baatein Kuch Anakhee Si, has been confirmed as the new Roohi. Although there is a lot of negativity over the YRKKH controversy, the actress is pumped up about joining the show.

Expressing her excitement on being a part of a popular show like Yeh Rishta, she shared her thoughts about replacing Pratiksha Honmukhe. Without reacting much to the controversy, she said that she respects Rajan Shahi's decision.

"This is huge thing and big opportunity for me. I'm grateful to Rajan Sir. It's like homecoming to me. I don't want to talk about the recent controversy. There must be a reason that's why Rajan sir taken call," Garvita told Times Now.
