Shabbir Ahluwalia To Play The Male Lead In Yash Patnaik’s TV Show, To Quit Kumkum Bhagya After Eight Years?
After playing the male lead in Kumkum Bhagya for eight years, Shabbir Ahluwalia may be bidding adieu to the show that made him a household name. The actor has decided to step out of the shadow of his character Abhishek Mehra and is all set to take up a new show, which will be produced by Yash Patnaik.
According to a TOI report, Shabbir’s new venture is a yet-untitled daily soap whose shooting will commence soon and it will mostly go on air next month. A source close to the development told the daily, “It’s a love story set in Punjab and Shabbir will play the hero in it. We are in the process of casting the girl and looking to introduce a fresh face opposite him.”
However,
both
Shabbir
and
Yash
haven’t
made
any
comments
about
the
project
yet.
Meanwhile,
it
must
also
be
noted
that
there
is
still
no
clarity
whether
he
will
continue
to
be
a
part
of
Kumkum
Bhagya
going.
For
the
unversed,
both
Shabbir
and
Sriti
Jha
have
been
missing
in
action
after
their
track
in
the
family
drama
came
to
hold
about
three
months
ago.
The
beloved
duo
is
currently
shown
to
be
in
a
coma
after
they
met
with
an
accident.
In the meantime, the show is revolving around the new generation Prachi, Ranbir and Rhea (Mugdha Chaphekar, Krishna Kaul and Pooja Banerjee). It was widely reported in the media a while that Pragya and Abhi’s (Sriti and Shabbir) track may not get revived for some time as the makers wanted to focus on the younger generation of actors. The aforementioned news had also made AbhiGya/TiSha fans angry, who took to social media to express their dissapointment over the same.
Well, we will have to wait and watch to know if the OG cast will return to the show they have been a part of since its inception.
