Pandya Store Actor Akshay Kharodia Quits The Show Midway To Spend Time With His Pregnant Wife
Akshay Kharodia, who is currently seen essaying the role of Dev Pandya in Pandya Store, is all set to quit the Star Plus show. The actor’s ouster has nothing to do with less screen time or creative dissatisfaction. However, his decision to leave the daily soap midway has come due to personal reasons.
Akshay, who is going to become a father in April, wants to spend time with his wife, Divya Punetha. He put in his papers last month to be by her side and is currently serving a two-month notice period.
A
source
close
to
the
development
told
TOI,
“Akshay’s
wife
is
a
gynaecologist
and
is
posted
in
Uttarakhand.
She
can’t
quit
her
job,
so,
Akshay
has
decided
to
be
with
her.
Also,
since
she
is
seven
months
pregnant,
she
won’t
be
able
to
travel.
It
has
obviously
been
a
difficult
decision
for
the
actor
to
quit
an
ongoing
show,
which
is
doing
well
on
the
rating
chart.
Everyone
on
the
set
was
emotional
when
he
broke
the
news
of
his
exit.”
The report further adds that Akshay plans on taking a short break from work to be with his wife. The actor plans on leaving for Uttarakhand in April and will return to Mumbai in June. It must be noted that Akshay hasn’t shared the news or commented on the matter as of yet.
The actor tied the knot with Divya on June 19, 2021, following a courtship of seven years. In an earlier interview with ETimes TV, Akshay had revealed that they had a long-distance relationship and further shared, “Our parents were not very convinced about our marriage. They had their reservations and there were conflicts. However, we had faith in our love and it won over everything else.”
