Gaurav Sharma on fans shipping Abhira and Yuvraaj

Shedding light on fans' immense love for Abhiraaj (Yuvraaj and Abhira), Gaurav Sharma said, 'It's very surprising, but the truth is, when I played negative roles in television shows like Kyun Utthe Dil Chhod Aaye and Diya Aur Baati Hum, at that time, I used to get a lot of hate messages. With Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, it's completely different; 90 percent of the messages I receive are of appreciation. There's a section of fans who love Abhira and Yuvraaj together, Abhiraaj.'

He further added, 'Somewhere, I feel all the love we are receiving for Abhiraaj is because of Samridhi also, because she is a very good actor. Whatever scenes we are given, we perform with full honesty. As co-actors, we also have good give-and-take, which translates into on-screen chemistry. Also, the writers play a very important role. No matter how great of an actor you are, if the writing is bad, honestly, you can't do much. So when the writing is good, it automatically translates into scenes. With Yuvraaj, people don't perceive him as a villain; in fact, people love him.'
