Yuvraj, who plays the lead character Aditya in Rakhi, has been sacked by the production house Film Farms Productions for not complying with the demands of the script.
A marriage scene for the serial demanded that the actor be slapped by Ayub Khan. Yuvraj would have none of it. When the production house's repeated requests failed to convince the actor, they had no choice but to sack him.
Deepak Agarwal, the producer of the show confirmed the incident. "The scene demanded that an angry Ayub slap Yuvraj. Yuvraj refused to give in, stating that it might adversely affect his image and status given that he was playing the lead character in another show, Ghar Ki Lakshmi Betiyaan.

The creative head and others from the production house tried to reason with him but to no avail. He paid no heed to their requests, and so we decided to scrap his character altogether," he said.
Earlier, the actor had been tagged 'stubborn' by his colleagues on the sets of Rakhi. Agarwal added, "We wanted a dash of drama in the scene but couldn't get the visual impact right since Yuvraj declined to shoot for the scene.
Moreover, the shooting had to be stalled due to prolonged arguments that continued for over two hours. As an actor, Yuvraj should know that the script demanded the scene. He seems to be very stubborn and the production house is also very angry with him."
Yuvraj is probably unaware of the production house's decision about him. When contacted, he slammed the phone down after dropping a few lines: "Nothing of the sort happened. Who told you about this? The script didn't have any slapping scene. I don't know what you are talking about."
