Mitaali Nag, who plays Neil Bhatt’s sister, Devyani Deshpande, in Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin, has quit the show. The actress is disappointed about not being informed about the nine-year time leap that was introduced recently - Jyothi Venkatesh
Not just that, but she was also not too happy with the way her track was progressing. She says, “Since the past few months, I haven’t been doing much in the show.
I was reassured that my character will get some traction, which didn’t happen. In fact, I would receive messages from my fans on social media urging me to move on because even they felt that I was not being given enough screen space and I should do something that justifies my capability as an actor.
The final straw was the time leap. I don’t know about the other actors but I wasn’t informed that the show will progress by nine years. I learnt about it only after I watched the promo, which was released on the channel’s social media.
Disappointed about not being aware of it, I informed the makers about my decision to quit the show. This was before Ganesh Chaturthi.”
The makers have cast a 19-year-old actress to play Mitaali’s daughter post the leap. Ask her if she is aware of it, and she replies, “No I wasn’t. I was told that if they do, I would be informed in advance and given time to decide.”
This is the second time the actress has decided to bid adieu to the show. However, she revoked her decision a month later and resumed the shoot in August 2021. She shares, “I had the same concerns regarding my character earlier, too.
The makers and the broadcaster promised me that I would be given proper screen space. Also, I was encouraged by my fans to return to the show. However, my character wasn’t contributing much to the storyline, and despite being reassured nothing much happened.”
