MUMBAI: Karan Mehra became a household name after playing Naitik Singhania in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai from 2009 to 2016. When he bid the show adieu after over seven years, his fans across the globe were saddened. 

While people speculated his relationship with lead actress Hina Khan was the reason behind his decision, that’s not true.

In this past conversation, Karan (who is unfortunately currently making the headlines for his troubled personal life) shed light on the real reason behind his exit and it had nothing to do with his co-star of many years. 

In a 2016 report, Karan Mehra revealed the real reason behind bidding Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai adieu. The actor had said, “Honestly I never wanted to quit but I just could not continue anymore. My health woes were worsening day by day. I am on immunotherapy shots. I have developed HAH (High Altitude Headaches) & Back Spasms. My allergies have boomed and the doctor asked me to take it easy or I would collapse and reach the ICU. It was high time I looked after myself. So I left the show.”.
