Rajani Shahi's 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai' spin-off 'Yeh Rishtey Hain Pyaar Ke, featuring Shaheer Sheikh and Rhea Sharma in lead roles of 'Abeer' & 'Mishti', began in March this year and is fetching decent TRPs. The chemistry between lead pairs Shaheer-Rhea & Ritvik Arora- Kaveri Priyam as well as Rupal Patel's grey-shaded character is getting good response from the viewers. To make the show more interesting and entertaining, the makers are playing to introduce a new character in the Star Plus show.
