MUMBAI : The producers shocked everyone when two main actors from Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai were fired a few months ago. After Shehzada Dhami and Pratiksha Honmukhe were abruptly removed from the show, fans debated what went wrong on the internet for a long time.
The actors remained silent while the show's producer, Rajan Shahi, criticized Dhami for his lack of professionalism and Honmukhe for falling short of her character's expectations in interviews. At last, Shehzada Dhami portrayed Armaan Poddar in the television show, revealed his perspective, and opened up.
Shehzada Dhami disclosed in an interview with Siddharth Kannan that he had been mistreated and put down by a particular director on the show from the very first day of filming in Mahabaleshwar. However, he did not retaliate. He revealed that the director would speak extremely rude and demeaning way.
He mentioned that he ignored everything, however, he couldn't overlook injustice done on others. He pointed out that one of his weaknesses is that he can never see an innocent person being called out unnecessarily.
Shehzada further narrated a shocking incident wherein Pratiksha Honmukhe was humiliated in front of the unit. He mentioned a scene wherein Pratiksha had to make a hand gesture and cross her finger. She did exactly that, but the director lashed out at her for not crossing the finger, as per the scene, and humiliated her in front of the entire unit.
Shehzada told him that Honmukhe correctly followed the script; however, he wasn't in the mood to accept it and continued to hurl insults at Honmukhe. After performing the scene, Pratiksha went to her room and cried.
Shehzada added that after doing the scene, Pratiksha confronted the director over his behavior and told him that he lacked manners. He said, "Usne jaake bola ke sir mujhe aapse baat karni hai. Unhone bola 'Mujhe terese koi baat nahi karni.' Woh kehti ke sir aap aise mujhse baat nahi kar sakte. He said, 'Ab tu sikhayegi meko, mai kaise baat karu? Usne kaha haa sir mai sikhaugi kyuki aapko tameez nahi hai baat karne ki."
Shehzada Dhami went on to say that Rajan Shahi, the show's producer, never had a one-on-one or direct conversation with him. Before he made his decisions, he had never heard his side of the tale. Shehzada says he still has a lot of respect for Shahi despite all that happened, and he's thankful that Shahi gave him the chance to play Armaan Poddar in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai.
Following their exit from the program, Shehzada Dhami and Pratiksha Honmukhe were replaced as Armaan and Ruhi, respectively, by Rohit Purohit and Garvita Sadhwani. Samridhii Shukla continued portraying Abhira on the program in the meantime.
He added, "Yeh uss ladki ne bol diya. Kyuki usko from the begining hi aisa treat kiya jaa raha tha. Bahot depressed thi woh. Inn cheezon se. Ab yeh uska call hai, usko bol na hai ya nahi bolna hai. Yeh, ek bada incident or fight hua tha.”
He added, "Jab usne kaha ke sir mai sirf aapse baat karna chahti hu toh unhone bola 'Mujhe baai nahi karni or mai tere muh pe bolta hu mujhe tere saath kaam nahi karna. And he walked out saying, 'Pampering chaiye issko mere se.”
