Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai twist: After two months of countless speculation, it has been confirmed that Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai is taking a generation leap.

The two celebrities had refrained from reacting to the rumours about their departure from their hit show.

HARSHAD CHOPDA SHOOTS HIS LAST EPISODE FOR YEH RISHTA KYA KEHLATA HAI

Harshad Chopda, who played the lead role of Abhimanyu, has shot for his last episode on November 2. While gossip mills suggested that he was supposed to wrap up the shoot in October end, the shoot got extended. As the shooting schedule was extended, the TV heartthrob continued to film important sequences for the serial.

As Harshad is leaving the show, Shehzada Dhami and Samridhii Shukla will take over the charge from him and Pranali Rathod.

"The casting team and the creative team liked Samridhi's audition for Yeh Rishta. She suits the bill perfectly for the show and is not overexposed on television just like Shivangi Joshi and Pranali Rathod, when they were roped in for YRKKH. Instead of dragging the storyline further, the makers thought of introducing a leap and hence, Pranali-Harshad will make an exit from the serial. Samridhi's acting chops and her innocence were big factors in bagging her the meaty role in a show like YRKKH" a source exclusively told Filmibeat.
