Hina Khan: Love I got for 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai' overwhelms me till date

"Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai" completes 12 years on Tuesday and Hina Khan, who shot to fame with her debut fiction role as the telly bahu Akshara Singhania in the mega soap, says the response she received for the role still overwhelms her after all these years.

"After 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai' and Akshara came into my life, it definitely changed things around for me," recalls Hina. "People associated me so strongly with the show and character that it did become a name in every household. The love, appreciation and positive response I received for the role is something that overwhelms me till date," shares the actor, who had a fruitful eight-year-long run with the show.

Hina feels the show works because it continues to maintain values that are cherished by the middle-class India households it primarily caters to.
