With StarPlus, it feels like homecoming. Previously, I did a show with Star Plus, Ye Hai Mohabbatein and now Yeh Hai Chahatein. The show Ye hai Mohabbatein has given each one of us millions of memories to cherish for life, friends who have become like family. With each passing day, our Mohabbatein is growing. Now coming back with Yeh Hai Chahatein, a spin-off of Ye Hai Mohabbatein, it makes my comeback even more special.

It’s a privilege more than a pressure.” Yeh Hai Chahatein is produced by Ekta Kapoor and airs on Star Plus every day.
