Mumbai:  TV actor Karan Mehra, who became a popular face on the small screen with his role as Naitik in "Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai", says that Hina Khan's exit from the show will affect its popularity.

Karan, who became the first celebrity to get evicted from the controversial reality show "Bigg Boss 10", told IANS: "It has been the longest running show but after my exit, now Hina is quitting so of course it will affect the show."

Hina plays the role of Akshara in the show and Karan says that he doesn't see the show going anywhere.

"I don't see it going anywhere now because with all the main people getting out, it will be some other story," he added.

Karan also feels that the show should end in a "dignified way" and not "abruptly".

"Fans would be disappointed but having said that all things come to an end and this would also come to an end. Its better if it ends in a dignified way and not abruptly," he said.
