In an interview with Pinkvilla, a source has shared a few insights about her exit from the show. The source shared, "Parth wants to now direct his attention towards his health and the other projects he is in talks with. Ekta Kapoor has been trying to persuade Parth into retainment but the actor has expressed his wish to opt-out. The production, in the meantime, has already started to consider actors to step in Parth's shoes but are finding it difficult."
In a live session with the same media portal, Parth Samthaan also stated about his future Bollywood plans, "There's a good chance that I'll be doing a film this year."
The official announcement is yet to be made, until then, the makers are in search of the actor's replacement.
