Hina Khan made her grand television debut with Rajan Shahi’s show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai and became a star on TV with it. Hina credited Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai not just for making her a household name, but also for playing the biggest role in her financial success. The actor in a conversation with Elvish Yadav revealed that the long-running show remains her highest-earning project to date.
Hina Khan says she earned the most from YRKKH
When Elvish asked from which producer she earned the most money, YRKKH’s producer Rajan Shahi or Naagin’s producer Ektaa Kapoor, Hina replied, “Naagin maine kum time ke liye kiya, maine Ektaa ke saath Komolika (Kasautii Zindagii Kay) kiya tha for 6–7 months. But agar aap paise ki baat karen toh definitely Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai (I did Naagin for a short period of time, and I played Komolika in Kasautii Zindagii Kay with Ektaa for about 6–7 months. But if you talk about money, then definitely Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai).”
She added, “I did it for 8 years. Toh meri jitni sampati hai, sab mostly Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai se aayi hai. Uske baad bhi maine kaam kiya, lekin YRKKH played a big part (So most of whatever wealth I have has largely come from Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. I worked even after that, but YRKKH played a big part).”
