It is really like the end of an era for fans of Yeh Hai Mohabbatein. After entertaining us with her hilarious one-liners and vivacious personality, Shahnaz Rizwan who breathed life into the character of Santoshi Bhalla is finally bidding adieu to the daily soap. People adored her as the doting mum to Raman (Karan Patel) and Romi (Aly Goni).
Bollywood Life caught up with her for a chat. She told us, “I am very close to Ishita (Divyanka Tripathi), Pankaj Bhatia, Anurag (Shakti) and Karan Patel that’s my son, Raman Bhalla. Karan is a wonderful person at heart. He loves and respects me a lot and he is just like my son.” Raised in Pakistan, Shahnazji lived for the greater part of her life in London. In Mumbai, she misses her family the most. In fact, she was selected for the role after the creatives saw a video of her uploaded by her son, Mawaan. “I would like to clarify that I quitting and not taking a break. I am leaving for London on May 28. But before that I will launch my poetry collection in Mumbai.
