At
the
beginning
of
the
year
Rubina
Dilaik
who
played
the
lead
role
in
Shakti:
Astitva
Ke
Ehsaas
Ki
for
four
years,
decided
to
call
it
quits
after
the
show
took
a
generational
leap.
And
now,
in
an
interview
with
Pinkvilla,
the
actress
opened
up
about
everything
that
took
place
and
served
as
a
reason
for
her
to
bid
adieu.
Rubina
revealed,
"About
me
leaving
Shakti,
we
had
reached
a
deadlock.
To
refresh
the
show,
we
had
tried
many
things
like
memory
loss
track,
fresh
faces,
and
characters
were
introduced.
Since
it
was
a
love
story
between
a
man
and
a
transgender,
there
was
no
possibility
of
consummation
so
there
was
a
deadlock.
Then
there
was
a
deadlock
when
Vivian
opted
out
because
he
didn't
want
to
be
a
part
of
the
leap,
so
the
love
story
also
couldn't
move
forward,
so
that
was
another
thing.
Then,
we
thought
that
since
Saumya
can
never
have
a
child,
how
on
television
can
we
take
the
liberty
of
making
the
daughter
look
like
the
mother,
so
that
option
wasn't
there."
She
went
on
to
add,
"With
the
pure
intention
of
being
with
my
show,
I
chose
to
become
the
guardian
of
a
6-year
old
child
on
the
show.
Now,
they
can't
drag
the
story
with
that
plot
for
long
and
they
had
to
take
a
leap
to
show
the
kid
grown
up.
Makers
had
no
other
option
but
to
show
Saumya
as
a
mother
figure
to
a
25-26-year-old.
As
an
artist,
it
was
not
like
it
wasn't
a
challenge
to
play
a
50-year-old,
but
in
the
story
only
if
the
driving
seat
was
in
my
hand.
I
am
a
person
who
likes
to
take
the
entire
responsibility
of
the
show,
now
the
responsibility
was
to
be
with
someone
else
and
I
was
only
there
to
be
seated
in
the
adjacent
seat
and
I
could
have
seen
it
as
a
lavish
place
to
be
where
I
get
a
good
per
day
but
that
wasn't
challenging
for
me."
