Ved Raj told TOI, “It’s not an easy decision for any producer to replace the lead actor after 18 episodes. We have literally been pushed to the wall and have had to make this change. Anushka Sen had been throwing tantrums from the beginning. However, we were hoping that things would change for the better with time. Unfortunately, the situation only got worse. Anushka had an issue performing crucial scenes, which showed her doing household chores and always demanded a body double. She must have been worried about her social media image, given her following on Instagram.”
But Anushka Sen still maintained that she was the one who left the show owing to her deteriorating health conditions. She shared with the development, “I haven’t been keeping well. In fact, I fell extremely sick on October 28 during the shoot. A doctor was called on the set, who had advised me 10-day rest. However, I had to resume work after two days owing to the demands of a daily soap. I have been down with a bad cold and cough. There is weakness, too. Many others on the set, too, have been down with cold and cough and my family was worried about my health.”
Truth? No one knows!
