Ashish Nayyar: Ranjan Shahi has a knack of showing finer spectrum of emotions through characters, and that’s what makes Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai special

Ashish Nayyar plays the role of Anand Cardhan Birla in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai (YRKKH), after the Rajan Shahi production taken a leap. The show has been running high on popularity since 2009. The actor shares that it feels amazing to be a part of YRKKH team and thanks to the producer for giving his the opportunity to be a member of this incredible team.

“I’m playing the head of the family and a doctor by profession. Playing a surgeon who is in very much control of the whole scenario and the workings of the hospital, was something that attracted me to the character and story. I do relate to the character for being in charge of an establishment. In real life too I’m in the hospitality business, so I do relate to the challenges,” he adds.

Ashish shares that it is amazing working with the team. “Ranjan ji and the entire team feel like one extended family. It’s wonderful to work with good people like them. There are always value systems that every family follows and our lives revolve around it. Ranjan ji has a knack of showing a finer spectrum of emotions through the characters and that’s what makes YRKKH a unique experience. Content is definitely top priority because good content is relatable and satisfying to watch,” he says.

The title of the show is yet another thing that makes it special. “In every relationship, there’s a special bond which exists, but can’t be named or categorised. Those bonds are really special. That is the crux of the show as well,” he concludes.
