Actors abruptly quitting television shows in order to pursue their Bollywood dreams and other plum assignments is hardly unheard of. Recent instances include actor Barun Sobti who shot to fame with the serial 'Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon', but walked out of the show to do a film. With the lead actor opting out, the producer had to wind up the show immediately after he quit. Similarly, actress Rashmi Desai had quit 'Uttaran' only to come back to the show.
