Pankhuri Awasthy who is seen playing Vedika on the show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai has been receiving a lot of hatred from followers of the show, particularly fans of Kartik and Naira's characters. We spoke exclusively to the actress to know how she tackles it
Star Plus' Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai is one of the most loved shows by the audience. The show’s main leads Shivangi Joshi and Mohsin Khan enjoy an immense fan following. But, of late, their fans haven't been very happy with the current track. In fact, they have begun with the trend #RIPDirectorsKutProductions on social media. The reason being, they were excitedly waiting to see the milan of Kartik-Naira post leap, but writers had a different plan as they have gotten Kartik married to Vedika (Pankhuri Awasthy) and him addressing Naira as his ex-wife that has been depicted in the recent telecast. This has enraged their fans and they are expressing it on social media. Apart from the production house, the other one who is receiving hatred from Shivangi Joshi and Mohsin Khan’s fans is his new wife Vedika played by Pankhuri Awasthy.
Here are some comments which clearly prove that Vedika's character is being hated by followers of the show:
Looking at the reactions of his fans, we decided to get in touch with Pankhuri to know as to how she is dealing with all of this. But, her reaction came as a surprise to us as she seems to be clueless. Says Pankhuri, "I don't know if their fans are trolling me, as I didn't see those kind of comments. But yes, I came across a few of them where they are saying they didn't like the track, however, I am thankful that they are not crossing their limits this time. As few days back when they realised that Kartik (Mohsin Khan) will marry me and not Naira (Shivangi Joshi), I received so much of hate comments that I can't even tell you. But after the marriage episode went on-air, I didn't receive the kind of hatred I had expected, but yes, they are definitely shocked about it.”
When asked as to how disturbing these comments are, she replied, "Right now it’s not at all disturbing, as I have honestly decided that I am not going to pay much attention to all of this. I am only going to concentrate on my work. Mera jo character hai woh hai. I can't do anything to it as it’s not my call. I just have to do my work. Some people will like me and some others will hate me but I have to respect both sides. Honestly, I cannot do anything about it and I am not even worried. Because all in all, the show is doing well and I just hope it keeps doing well.”
We also made calls to Rajan Shahi who is the producer of the show and owner of DirectorsKut Productions, but he chose not to comment.
