Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai has always been in talks for alleged tiffs of lead actors with the producer of the show Rajan Shahi.

Rajan Shahi said, "People who know their jobs, who dare, they'll survive. For example, Hina (Khan), I had differences with her, and I still have. But she survived because she had that talent, and she had that talent and X-factor and intelligence to know how to change her thing. She changed into a fashionista and all that. I admire that. I don't speak to her but I admire Hina Khan."

Rajan Shahi's major decision to terminate two actors from Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai

Following unprofessional behavior, Rajan Shahi took the major step of replacing two of the prominent actors from Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai a few weeks ago. Shehzada Dhami and Pratiksha Honmukhe were replaced in the show overnight. While it was mentioned that Dhami was unprofessional and had an attitude problem, Honmukhe didn't meet the character's requirement, resulting in the harsh step taken by the producer.

In the same interview, Shahi revealed that he gave many chances to the actors but things were getting out of hand; so he had to take a drastic step. The makers roped in Rohit Purohit and Garvita Sadhwani to step into the shoes of Shehzada and Pratiksha respectively.

Rajan Shahi also rubbished the speculations regarding the 'no dating clause' in the contracts of actors working in his shows. He mentioned that the actors should know to differentiate between personal and professional lives.
