However, Ritvik Arora & the makers are yet to react on the same.

For the uninitiated, 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai' went on-air 10 years ago in 2009 with Hina Khan & Karan Mehra in lead roles. After being a part of 'Yeh Rishta...' for around 8 years, Hina & Karan quit the show post which Shivangi & Mohsin were introduced as the new leads.
