Saath Nibhaana Saathiya has been one of the most loved shows on the televison. The show had a huge fan following and is going to be back with season 2. Rucha Hasabnis played the role of Rashi Modi in the show. The recent ‘rasode mein kaun tha’ video by Yashraj Mukate had gone viral and Saath Nibhaana Saathiya once again grabbed attention. Rucha Hasabnis left the show in 2014 and later got married. Recently, in an interview with ETimes she spoke about her decision to quit the showbiz. She said, “I took a break, because it was time for me to get married and I wanted to spend quality time with my parents. That was the perfect decision for me. Following my decision to quit the show, the makers killed the character rather than bringing in a replacement. I can proudly say that I am the only Rashi (laughs!).”
Rucha said that she is not up for doing any typical family drama. She said, “I don’t want to do a typical family drama, I think I am over it. Wohi ghisa pita kaam nahi karna hai mujhe. I am not waiting for a role to come my way, but as they say, never say never. So, if something interesting comes my way, I wouldn’t mind taking it up. Besides, my world revolves around my baby and her schedule. So, all these factors will govern my decision of coming back to acting. Having said that, I enjoyed my time on ‘SNS’. The show and the character will always remain close to my heart. Despite being a family drama, ‘SNS’ wasn’t a run-of-the-mill show.” She also spoke about the second season of Saath Nibhaana Saathiya. She said, “I had no idea that ‘Saathiya’… was returning with another season until a few days ago. However, I wasn’t surprised by this development, as it is an iconic show.”
She further added, “I guess Devoleena (Bhattacharjee) is back as Gopi Bahu. I am sure it will be an emotional journey for them as they reprise their characters. I will always be happy for them and I wish them all the best. The cast and crew have been an extended family and we continue to be in touch.”
