Rajan Shahi’s “Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai” has been one of the longest-running shows on television thanks to the twists and turns that keep the audience hooked. With the track heading to a new twist, the makers have got actor Jay Soni on-board as Abhinav. The actor shared that his mother always wanted him to work with the ace producer and that it’s a dream come true.
“I always wanted to work with Rajan sir, and when I got the opportunity I just grabbed it. Moreover, the show is soon going to complete 15 years, it’s obviously one of the biggest hits on TV and it continues to entertain the audience,” he said.
“My mom would always ask me when will you work with Rajan ji and the production house and why don't you work with him and I would reply, ‘Ma, there has to be a nice opportunity.’ And this was the right opportunity. I had a meeting with him and I said, ‘Okay sir, I'm doing the show’. I really respect him as a maker. He is brilliant and his vision is superb,” he added.
