Television actress Niyati Joshi who has been part of TV shows like Saath Phere and Kumkum will soon step into the shoes of Parul Chauhan in serial Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. The replacement comes after Parul quit the show mid-way since she did not wish to play grandmother on-screen.
“Honestly, when I got a call from the team, I was initially skeptical. At this age, it’s difficult to play a grandmother. But then I realized this is a well-established show, with such fabulous makers, who promised me the best. It would have been foolish to not take the offer. I am really looking forward to joining the team,” Niyati Joshi said in a statement.

Stating that she is considering this as her comeback project, the actress said, “I personally believe that out of sight, out of mind works for the TV industry. While I have been doing episodics, it was difficult to get back. I feel blessed that the makers thought of me for the role. It’s all about fate, I feel.”
Talking about replacing Parul, Niyati further added, "I will bring my own personality to the role and hope the audience will accept and love me."
While Niyati has already signed the show, she is yet to start shooting.
