News about Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’s spin-off had been doing the rounds for quite some time now. It was earlier reported that Harshad Arora will be playing the male lead in the show but the makers have now signed Shaheer Sheikh for the same. Producer of the show, Rajan Shahi confirmed the news and told Bombay Times, “We are working on a spin-off of 'YRKHH', which completed 10 years, recently. Shaheer has been signed on to play the male lead. He will be seen in a dynamic role, which will be different from his previous outings. I realised that some characters from the original show deserve to be explored further in the spin-off. The title of the new show is yet to be finalised.”

Shaheer also confirmed the same and said, “Yes, I have been in talks with the production house, but I was in Jammu over the past few days. I will be returning to Mumbai today, and will take things forward.” YRKKH completed 10 years recently and the audience loves the ongoing baby track. Shaheer has a massive female fan following and we are pretty sure fans are going to love watching him in this one, too.

Shaheer was last seen in Dastaan-e-Mohabbat: Salim Anarkali opposite Sonarika Bhadoria but the show work that well in the TRP race and was taken off-air recently. Now that Shaheer has confirmed signing the spin-off, we are eager to find out who the female lead on the show will be. Stay tuned with us for more updates.
