KARISHMA SAWANT ON HER EXIT AND CHARACTER

Reacting to it, the actress told India Forums, "No, absolutely not. After the last generation leap on the show, my character was still prominently featured in the main montage with Abhimanyu and Akshara. The story post-leap also revolved around Ruhi, Abhimanyu, and me. However, it's essential to understand that the story eventually centers around the lead pair. I believe that's okay. I'm grateful to DKP for giving me the opportunity to play Aarohi. They provided me with a lot of material to work with as an actor. I enjoyed the single mother track. My character's journey had a beautiful start and end, and I'm grateful for it."
