Pranali Rathod, best known for her role in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, is all set to charm audiences once again with her upcoming show Durga. Fans adored her on-screen chemistry with Harshad Chopda in Rajan Shahi’s popular show, sparking recent rumors suggesting that the two might be in a relationship and have secretly tied the knot. In a recent interview, Pranali has finally addressed these rumors.
Speaking to Times Now, the actress clarified that the speculations about her relationship with Harshad Chopda are entirely unfounded. She emphasized that they are just good friends, with nothing romantic happening between them. Pranali put the wedding rumors to rest, saying, “I received numerous calls and DMs for confirmation. But no, there is no wedding happening. I am very much single and have no plans to get married anytime soon.”
Further elaborating on her bond with Harshad, Pranali shared that even her parents are aware that there is no romance between them. While she appreciates the love and support from fans who enjoy their on-screen pairing, she wanted to make it clear that the relationship remains professional. She acknowledged the enthusiasm of fans, including their social media edits dedicated to ‘AbhiRa’ (Abhimanyu and Akshara), but made sure to set the record straight.
Pranali stepped into Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai as the new lead, taking over after Shivangi Joshi’s departure. She portrayed the role of Akshara Goenka, the daughter of Naira and Kartik, while Harshad played Abhimanyu Birla. The duo’s on-screen chemistry quickly gained popularity, with fans affectionately referring to them as ‘AbhiRa’ and ‘HarShali’, hoping their reel-life romance would translate into real life.
Looking ahead, Pranali is now gearing up for her next project, Durga, where she will star alongside Aashay Mishra, Indira Krishnan, and other talented actors. The show promises to be an exciting new chapter in her career, and fans are eager to see her in this fresh role.
With her star on the rise, Pranali is focusing on her work and continuing to entertain audiences, all while brushing off the baseless rumors surrounding her personal life.
