From Sanaya Irani to Tina Dutta, Digangana Suryavanshi & others, here’s which leading ladies of the telly world said no to playing Naira in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai and why.
Sanaya Irani
Sanaya Irani won our hearts with her talent in shows like Miley Jab Hum Tum, Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? and Rangrasiya. Not only were we impressed by her acting, but the makers of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai were too at the time of casting Naira Goenka nee Singhania. According to reports by TellyChakkar, the makers of YRKKH had approached Sanaya, but the Ghost actress said no to it as she apparently did not want to play the second female lead to Hina Khan.
