Rohit Purohit’s entry into Rajan Shahi television show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai sparked considerable attention, as he replaced Shehzada Dhami in the role of Armaan Poddar. Shehzada’s dismissal was attributed to his unprofessional behavior, setting the stage for Rohit’s introduction. Initially, Rohit faced significant criticism for stepping into Shehzada’s shoes, but over time, the majority of YRKKH viewers have embraced him in the role.
Despite gaining acceptance from most fans, Rohit continues to face trolling from a segment of the audience who harbor lingering loyalty to Shehzada Dhami. In a recent interview with Telly Masala, Rohit candidly addressed the backlash, expressing his indifference towards critics and trolls. He emphasized that while not everyone may appreciate his portrayal, receiving love from the channel, producer, and the team is what matters most to him.
Rohit emphasized that winning the hearts of dedicated YRKKH fans is his primary goal, indicating his satisfaction with the positive reception from the show’s stakeholders. His dedication to his craft and the approval of key figures within the production further solidify his position in the show.
For context, Shehzada Dhami’s tenure as Armaan Poddar lasted nearly five months before his departure due to reported unprofessional conduct. Speculation swirled around Shehzada’s inappropriate behavior towards the crew, including his insistence on being addressed as “Sir.” Furthermore, rumors suggested a romantic involvement between Shehzada and Pratiksha Honmukhe, who portrayed the character of Ruhi, contributing to their eventual termination from the show.
