Life is too short to react on such things; should just move on in life, says Hina Khan on dispute with Rajan Shahi!

The spat between Hina Khan and Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai maker Rajan Shahi has been making the headlines from quite some time now.

The director had previously indirectly specified how the actors who left the show had given him and the team a tough time without disclosing their names. But it seems both Karan and Hina aka Naitik and Akshara had a different story to tell.

In an official statement, he had told, “With due respect to both the actors, it is a fact that after Karan left, we could consolidate our position and the TRPs actually increased. After Hina's exit too, the show has grown. This is not to say that they did not contribute to the show, but we were not able to shoot when those two were a part of the show as they had so much baggage. There were just two-three hours of shooting with the lead actors. Now, even if we are given a choice, the writers wouldn't want Akshara back.”

Now after months of disagreements and mud-slinging, Hina Khan has cleared the air on the much-discussed hullabaloo.

She revealed, “Rajan Shahi is like a father figure to me. I too have fights with my father after which I don't talk to him for days and weeks. Probably if I would have been staying with Rajan Sir under one roof, things would have gotten better by now.”

“And actually life is too short to actually think and react over such things. It's necessary to move on. I am doing good, they are doing good and I am happy.  I am doing Khatron Ke Khiladi right now and going forward may just do another show. In short, we all should just move on in life”, she added.
