Indignation Among ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’ Fans as Harshad Chopda and Pranali Rathod Depart, Demanding Continuation of Beloved Stars
The cherished Hindi TV serial, ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai,’ recently witnessed a substantial shift with the introduction of a new generation leap, leaving fans both excited and distressed. As the show prepares to unfold a new chapter, enthusiasts are now bidding farewell to their beloved characters, Abhi and Akshara, portrayed by Harshad Chopda and Pranali Rathod. This alteration in the cast has triggered a wave of displeasure among the show’s dedicated followers.
Expressing their discontent on social media platforms, fans are fervently urging the show’s creators to retain the familiar faces that have become integral to the narrative. The departure of Harshad Chopda and Pranali Rathod, who played the roles of Abhi and Akshara, has left fans dismayed, with some stating that the new characters introduced in the promotional material failed to resonate with them.
The recently released promo features Abhira (Samridhii Shukla), expressing her aspiration to uphold the family legacy by pursuing a legal career, akin to her mother Akshara. However, the narrative takes a twist as Abhira is depicted marrying Armaan, a development that sparks disapproval from the head of the Poddar household. Despite the makers’ efforts to generate intrigue, fans remain unconvinced and have taken to social media, particularly X (formerly Twitter), to voice their discontent.
Netizens have shared their grief over the departure of Harshad Chopda and Pranali Rathod, expressing sentiments of sadness and nostalgia through posts and old clips. Some fans have gone as far as suggesting that the show should come to an end if it cannot maintain the compelling storytelling that has kept viewers engaged. Comparisons to other shows, such as ‘Gum Hai Kisi Ke Pyaar Mein,’ have been drawn, emphasizing the importance of captivating plotlines.
The upcoming post-leap story, scheduled to commence on November 6, 2023, features a new cast, including actors like Shruti Ulfat, Shruti Rawat, Sandeep Rajora, and Shivam Khajuria, alongside a few returning cast members. However, the fervor among fans underscores the challenge of embracing change and the emotional connection they share with the departed characters.

Screw them, she’s so pretty she’ll get work, he’s just dumb hope he gets a haircut.
Lol I agree, he needs a haircut, a razor to shave all that hair on his face, forehead etc.
Nikalo inko and lock all doors so they can’t even peep inside. I stopped watching them after Abhinav’s death. Can someone tell me if that Toxicmanyu for once regretted his actions with Aarohi after her death. Honestly the only actor this season I really liked. That Toxicmanyu deserves that accident, he single handedly ruined two girls lives although Akshara practically begged him to ruin hers they both ruined Aarohi’s life and yet she walked strongly maturing and learning as she walked ahead, head held high. A true inspiration for the modern generation. Looking forward to the new generation, hopefully Roohi will encompass her mothers soul like her name states, Aarohi’s rooh, Roohi.
