Rohit Purohit and Sheena Bajaj, the beloved couple from the long-running TV show “Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai,” a popular drama series exploring family dynamics and relationships, have been under the spotlight recently.

The couple, who had been married for five years, opened up about the pressure they faced from their parents to start a family. This revelation sparked a conversation about balancing personal aspirations and familial expectations.

The Journey Of Rohit And Sheena

Rohit and Sheena’s love story is nothing short of a fairy tale. They met on the sets of “Arjun” in 2012 and became friends. Their friendship blossomed into love, and they tied the knot in 2019.

However, their journey was not without its challenges. They had to navigate the expectations of their families, who were eager for them to start a family, while also pursuing their dreams and aspirations.

Since then, their adorable pictures together on social media have been a treat for their fans. Rohit, who replaced Shehzada Dhami in “Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai,” and his on-screen chemistry with Samridhii Shukla won hearts. Their journey, both on and off-screen, has been a source of inspiration for many.

The Pressure To Start A Family

In a recent interview with Etimes, Rohit revealed that his parents, based in Jaipur, expect him and Sheena to start a family. He shared that there was a time when these expectations felt like pressure, but now everyone is on the same page.

”My dad is retired and my mother is a housewife, they stay in Jaipur, so they expect me to start a family. But it did happen once when there was pressure on us. The expectation was converting into pressure but now we all are on the same page. They understand now that we want to take some time and want to achieve a few things in life. So now they don’t put any kind of pressure. They have left the decision on us and have told us that it’s your life, you decide when you want to have to start a family.”

This candid revelation has shed light on the challenges many couples face to balance their aspirations, such as career advancement, with familial expectations, like starting a family.

Balancing Career And Family Expectations

Rohit’s parents have shown remarkable understanding and support, acknowledging that there are some things in life that he and Sheena want to achieve before starting a family. This understanding and support have allowed them to pursue their dreams without any added pressure, a testament to the positive outcomes that effective communication can bring.
