Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin: Hitesh Bharadwaj REACTS To Fans Getting Upset Over Shakti Arora EXIT From GHKPM

Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin twist: A lot has been written and said about Shakti Arora's exit from GHKPM and the leap in the serial. It won't be wrong to say that the viewers were surprised when the makers announced the seven-year leap in Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Mein. Star Plus released a promo to officially reveal that the romantic drama would take a 'time jump'.

WHY SHAKTI ARORA LEFT GHUM HAI KISIKEY PYAAR MEIIN?

After several weeks of speculations, it was revealed that Shakti Arora would leave Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin. Gossip mills claimed that the makers believed that there was nothing left to explore in Ishaan and Savi's love story. Hence, they bumped off Ishaan's character.

While Bhavika Sharma was retained, Shakti shot for his last episode as his character died in the serial.

A source close to the show exclusively told Filmibeat, "Shakti Arora's exit has created furore on social media. Considering the fan backlash, the producers earlier refrained from commenting about the leap or confirming the massive change. While media reports stated that leap is the reason behind Shaki Arora's departure from Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin, the channel has decided to trim the budget for the show. As the Silsila actor was paid a whopping amount for his stint in GHKPM, the makers decided to end his character and introduce a new lead, who is charging 1/2th of what Shakti was getting paid per episode."

HITESH BHARADWAJ ON AUDIENCE REACTION AFTER SHAKTI ARORA'S EXIT

It is clear that the ardent viewers were not pleased with Shakti's exit from GHKPM. They expressed their displeasure on social media, stating that the makers didn't do justice to the actor. The fans voiced out their opinion on different platforms and mentioned that Shakti took over the charge from Neil Bhatt, delivering impressive work after the generation leap in 2023.

Wondering what Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin new lead said about the audience's reaction over Shakti Arora's departure from the show? Hitesh Bharadwaj shared his thoughts about the fans being upset over Shakti Arora's exit from Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin.

The Choti Sarrdaarni actor said that Shakti struck a chord with the TV viewers and hence, they were disappointed over his exit. Calling their reaction 'natural and justified', Hitesh said that he would also get upset if a 'loved character leaves the project midway'.

"I think it is justified. Shakti Arora as Ishaan had struck a chord with audiences, and people are bound to be upset with his exit. It is natural and justified. As an audience, if I watch a project and a loved character leaves midway, I also get upset," Hitesh Bharadwaj told Pinkvilla.
