Actress Parul Chauhan, who was associated with serial Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai for almost two and half years now, has quit the show. The 31-year-old actress doesn’t want to play a grandmother on the show.

According to the storyline, Parul is essaying the role of Kartik's (essayed by Mohsin Khan) mother and Naira's (essayed by Shivangi Joshi) mother-in-law. The show recently revolved around Naira and Keerti's pregnancy and the latter delivering a baby boy. Parul did not want to play the role of a grandmother at such an early stage in her career and hence decided to leave the show.

“Yes, I have quit the show as I was not ready to play the role of a grandmother's role at such an early stage of my career. I felt I won't be able to do justice to the role. I spoke to Rajan sir (Producer) and thankfully he understood my concerns," the actress said in a media statement.

During this break, the actress is giving time to her personal life. Parul said, "I am enjoying the break and not in any hurry to return to work. I went to stay with my parents at my house for a few days. Doing a daily soap becomes very hectic; you end up getting no time for yourself. Hence, I am also working on my body and taking care of myself. I am enjoying the break."

On the personal front, Parul got married to Chirag Thakkar on December 12, 2018, in a traditional Hindu ceremony in the presence of close friends and family members.
