The sudden departure of main male lead Shehzada Dhami and actress Pratiksha Honmukhe from Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai sent shockwaves through the industry, marking a rare instance where actors were explicitly asked to exit a show. While past instances of alleged unprofessionalism often resulted in discreet exits, this incident made headlines due to its directness. Actress Niyati Joshi, known for her role as Swarna Manish Goenka, addressed the alleged attitude problems and ego clashes of Shehzada Dhami in an interview, shedding light on the tensions within the Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai team. Despite reportedly being given chances by producer Rajan Shahi to rectify their behavior, Shehzada and Pratiksha failed to mend their ways.
Niyati Joshi’s interview offered insights into the dynamics on set, highlighting contrasting experiences with the two ousted actors. While she described Pratiksha Honmukhe as a sweet individual, she did not mince words about Shehzada Dhami’s behavior, citing his failure to even greet fellow team members as indicative of his attitude issues. Niyati expressed a sense of inevitability about the situation, suggesting that the outcome was foreseeable given the circumstances.
In the aftermath of their exit, Shehzada Dhami took to social media with a cryptic Insta story featuring the word ‘Godfidence,’ hinting at confidence in the grace of God. Reports suggest that Dhami has secured a role as the main lead in the upcoming show “Suhaagan Chudail,” alongside Nia Sharma and Debchandrima Singha Roy, marking the latter’s debut in Hindi television. While there were earlier speculations about Dhami joining “Naagin 7,” those seem to have been dispelled.
