Karan Mehra announced his exit from successfully running TV show ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’ with an emotional video from the last day of shoot. Karan Mehra played the role of Naitik Singhania ever since this daily soap began its run in January 2009. However, owing to several health issues, Karan Mehra decided to quit the TV show ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’. His wife Nisha Rawal wrote an emotional message on Facebook as she stated the reason for Karan’s break. “He kept adjusting in every single way of his life, to an extent that his immunity has been compromised today. Karan is on immunotherapy shots. He developed High Altitude Headaches (HAH) and back spasms. His allergies have boomed and the doctor has asked him to take it easy or he would collapse and reach the ICU. That’s when we decided that it was enough,” Nisha posted reasoning Karan’s exit from ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’.
Karan Mehra aka Naitik Singhania too shared video with fans on Facebook, announcing his last day as Naitik in ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’. “A lot of things happen in life, unfortunately my relationship with ‘Yeh Risha…’ has come to an end today. I had thought that I would stay till the end, but it is not possible,” says Karan in the video he posted on Facebook for his fans. Not the one to forget his fans and followers all over the world, Karan aka Naitik says, “I want to thank everyone today for all the love, blessings, messages and photographs. I feel humbled and honoured. I came to Mumbai with one bag from Delhi. I had never imagined that I would become Naitik. After four-and-a-half years of hard work, I got this role. A complete family is attached to this show. A lot of gents have come up to me and spoken about ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’. It just means that everyone is very connected to the TV show, Naitik has become a household name.”
Expressing his desire to continue working, this celeb of the TV world adds, “It has been an emotional journey. I think if I had my complete strength then I wouldn’t be leaving ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’. Unfortunately, it is not possible now. I would only request everyone to continue watching the TV show. I too will and will return with new enthusiasm. I am an actor and will return after a break. I have always worshipped work and will continue to do the same,” before signing off as Naitik one last time.
Reportedly, the makers of ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’ plan to end Naitik’s (Karan Mehra) track by getting him kidnapped.
