In an interview with SBS, the maker of the top TV show in the country, Rajan Shahi was seen talking about casting actors who are good and talented and who know their job. While talking about the Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai actors, Rajan gives an example of Hina Khan and says, "I have had differences with her and I still have." However, he adds that Hina survived because she had the talent and the intelligence how to change her thing (approach). Rajan says that he admires her for the change she brought into her. However, the producer also says, "I don't speak to her and neither will I be speaking to her but I admire Hina Khan." Rajan admits that in the last few months, they both had issues but the chapter is long closed. He talks about how Hina reinvented herself and worked hard and continues to work hard.
In the same interview, Rajan Shahi also talks about how Karan Mehra, Shivangi Joshi and Mohsin Khan are also working hard and doing things for themselves. While talking about Harshad Chopda who played Abhimanyu Birla in the third generation of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Rajan praised him calling him an intelligent actor. However, Rajan doesn't feel that Harshad is a daily soap actor. While talking to Saas Bahu Aur Saazish he shared that he feels Harshad can be better with web series and films.
Hina Khan was deeply hurt when Rajan Shahi claimed that after Hina and Karan's exit, the show had grown even more. Hina questioned Rajan for not speaking up when she was a part of the show for 8 long years. She questioned him for always praising her and Karan for their professionalism and dedication. As per Indian Express, Shahi had claimed that Karan would only shoot for about two to three hours. Karan slammed the same saying that he had the attendance register as proof but did not react negatively to the comment.
Recently, Karan Mehra joined Rajan Shahi's iftaar bash, however, Hina was not seen. Shivangi Joshi also attended the party.
