Pranali Rathod gives a message to #HarShali fans 

In a candid chat with Pinkvilla, actress Pranali Rathod expressed being emotional about her exit from the show. When asked about #AbhiRa (Abhimanyu- Akshara) and #HarShali (Harshad- Pranali) fans being upset with the generation leap, Pranali said, "Well, what do I tell them? I just want to say that I love each one of them and I see all the messages that they've been writing and the edits that they make. I see all of them and feel very grateful for the love that they've showered upon me."

She further added, "#AbhiRa might end but not #HarShali. We will keep meeting. I'm sure the entire cast will have reunions, so, offscreen, I'm sure we all will still be connected. Aur hamare fans #Harshali edits banate rahege (laughs)." (Our fans will continue making Harshad-Pranali edits).

"I feel, Akshara will always stay special. I have won awards and received love and appreciation for the character and it will always be closer to my heart. The feeling of exiting the show hasn't sunken yet. I am still processing it. The other day, a few actors shot for their last and it was quite an emotional day for us."
