In November 2024, Rohit had revealed that Sheena refused to watch the pregnancy track of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai back then. He had also revealed in an interview that the track affected him emotionally.
Speaking with Telly Masala, Rohit reveals, how usually he discusses the upcoming story draft with his wife Sheena. However, this time, when he went ahead to discuss it with her, she refused to listen to it and stated that she will not even watch the episode of the show.
“Sheena ko bilkul pasand nahi aata jab main rota hoon and Sheena ko ye bhi pasand nahi aata ke main koi bhi kaam half heartedly karu. Toh, jab ye start ho ne wala tha toh maine usko kaha tha ke next story draft jo aaya hai wo maine padha hai and it is very painful. Usne bola ke kya hai, and maine usse kaha ke it is something related to this (miscarriage). Toh usne pehle hi bol diya tha ke mujhe mat batao, na toh main ye dekhungi na mujhe sunn na hai. Maine bola theek hai. Main usually bahut excited hota hoon usey upcoming story line bata ne ke liye, aur wo sunti hai. But yaha usne mana kardiya and mujhe bhi laga ke thoda sa disturbing hojayega.”
