Swati Chitnis on not being retained for the fourth generation
She said, "Well, isn't it too much for a Dadi to be in the show for so long? (laughs). Initially, the character was so important. It was always about Dadi, Karthik, and Naira. I feel the character has been quite utilized on the show. As they say, every good thing comes to an end, one should accept it and move on. However, it hasn't sunk yet that I'm no longer a part of the show. I have no qualms and have the highest regard for the makers of the show."
The fourth generation of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai will have Samridhii Shukla and Shehzada Dhami playing the lead roles.
