Terminating Shehzada Dhami and Pratiksha Honmukhe’s service also allowed DKP to warn Anupamaa actors to toe the line.
The din caused by the sudden firing of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai
actors Shehzada Dhami and Pratiksha Honmukhe refuses to die. Producer Rajan Shahi had asked both to leave the set for unprofessional conduct. He then issued a media statement detailing the same.
Now, we have more information regarding the above unsavoury incident. According to sources, both Shehzada, who plays the lead Arman, and Pratiksha, who plays Ruhi, were unhappy with how their characters pan out. They alleged being told a different story arc during narration.
Being unhappy (more Pratiksha), they were protesting, but apparently, they crossed the line, which led to their summary dismissal.
Our informed source added that they should have expressed their displeasure differently.
However, another source dismisses the unhappy bit, saying all said and done, Shehzada was still the hero, and the story revolves around him and Samridhii Shukla. Plus, he was the face of the promo. What is he cribbing about?
The source says Pratiksha was not an important character to merit discussion. However, she flipped for Shezada, which made her feel important.
A third source answered the media speculation about why the production house went public over the firing. Given his power rankings, we were helpless during the controversy when superstar Harshad left Yeh Rishta. In contrast, Shehzada was a small fry; hence, we could go to town. This was also DKP’s(Yeh Rishta makers) ploy to warn other show Anupamaa actors to behave. There have been rumours of inflated egos on set.
