TV show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai has been ruling the headlines these days. Actors Shivangi Joshi and Mohsin Khan, who play Naira and Kartik in the show, have been one of the most popular and loved couples of Indian Television. However, the reports of them getting separated after Naira's death and Shivangi's exit has left the fans heartbroken. While there was still ambiguity about Shivangi's exit from the show, now the actress has herself confirmed that she won't be a part of Star Plus' Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai anymore. The channel released a new video on Friday in which Shivangi Joshi can be seen recalling her happy memories as Naira and announcing that she is leaving the character but not the hearts of her fans.
Shivangi Joshi, in this promo video, can be seen saying, "It will be very difficult for me to move forward leaving behind the character of Naira, but as they say, 'stories end, not the characters.'" She adds that she doesn't know when Naira became an important part of her personality. She said, "These four and a half years playing Naira have been unforgettable. We grew up together, moved forward, lived together. With Naira, I got a chance to play many different characters. A daughter, a daughter-in-law and a mother. But you know which character was the most beautiful for me? Of a wife ... Kartik and I, together became Kaira and we received so much happiness as Kaira from our fans. But as it is said, 'change is the only constant.' Now the time has come to say goodbye to this character."
Shivangi Joshi affirms that while she is bidding adieu to Naira, she will live in her fans' hearts forever as the character. She also asks fans to shower their love on Kartik and her onscreen family who are still a part of the show and their lives.
