Dil Hi Toh was launched on June 18, 2018. The show stars Karan Kundra, newbie, Yogita Bihani, Pooja Banerjee, Asmita Sood, Poonam Dhillon and Bijay Anand in the lead roles. It has barely been a week and now we get to hear that the veteran actress, Poonam is quitting the show. She was roped in to play the male lead, Karan Kundra's mother's role. It is surprising as the actress had just shot for a couple of days.

Poonam's entry has already been aired, but now, it is being said that the actress wasn't happy with the way her role was shaping up. She adds that her character wasn't meaty enough to excite her.

"After my last two TV experiences - 'Ek Nayi Pehchaan' and 'Kittie Party' - I was looking for central roles, which I thought this would be. I don't mind putting in extra hours in a distant location, if the role is fulfilling."

"So, rather than wait for a few more weeks and create discomfort between the production house and me, I decided to quit immediately. The makers were considerate enough to accept my decision and we parted on an amicable note."

The actress further added, "I like the way the show is being shot and I am hopeful that the character will pan out well. TV shows, unlike films, don't follow a bound script. Different tracks and characters are highlighted at various points to keep a show interesting. In addition, as I am not required to shoot daily, it allows me to focus on other projects as well."
