Sai
Ketan
Rao
Imlie
Exit:
Gul
Khan's
production,
Imlie,
debuted
on
Star
Plus
in
2020,
starring
Sumbul
Touqeer
Khan
and
Gashmeer
Mahajani
as
the
main
leads.
The
series
quickly
captured
audiences'
attention,
leading
to
Fahmaan
Khan's
introduction
as
Sumbul's
new
co-star
following
Gashmeer's
exit.
As
the
narrative
unfolded,
fans
of
Imlie
were
captivated
by
the
on-screen
chemistry
between
characters,
affectionately
labeling
them
'AryLie'
or
'SuMaan'.
However,
a
pivotal
shift
occurred
when
the
show
underwent
a
generational
shift,
welcoming
Karan
Vohra
and
Megha
Chakraborty
as
the
new
central
pair,
Atharva
and
Imlie,
respectively.
SAI
KETAN
RAO
BREAKS
SILENCE
ON
AGASTYA
DEATH
TWIST
The
transition
to
AthLie
was
seamless,
with
the
series
maintaining
its
stronghold
on
the
TRP
charts.
Nevertheless,
last
year,
due
to
a
decline
in
ratings,
the
makers
revamped
the
show
once
more,
introducing
another
generational
leap.
Sai
Ketan
Rao
and
Adrija
Roy
then
stepped
into
Imlie
as
the
new
protagonists,
Agastya
and
Imlie,
respectively,
and
have
been
winning
hearts
ever
since.
With
the
Star
Plus
show
maintaining
a
strong
presence
on
the
TRP
charts,
the
creators
are
gearing
up
to
elevate
the
entertainment
quotient
with
a
surprising
twist
involving
Agastya
(Sai
Ketan
Rao)
meeting
his
demise.
In
the
current
storyline,
Navya
and
Bhola
hatch
a
scheme
to
avenge
themselves
against
the
Chaudhary
family
by
plotting
the
deaths
of
Agastya
and
Imlie.
A
new
promo
shows
the
Chaudhary
family
conducting
Agastya's
last
rites,
with
Imlie
being
held
responsible
for
his
tragic
fate.
SAI
KETAN
RAO
CONFIRMS
RE-ENTRY
AND
DOUBLE
ROLE
TWIST
Since
then,
there
have
been
speculations
about
Sai
Ketan
Rao
quitting
Imlie.
However,
in
a
recent
interview,
the
actor
has
finally
broken
his
silence
regarding
Agastya's
death
twist.
While
the
actor
confirmed
Agastya's
demise,
Rao
added
that
he'll
play
a
double
role
and
will
re-enter
as
Surya
Pratap
Reddy.
Yes,
you
read
that
right!
He
told
ETimes,
"Our
show
is
doing
well
and
every
now
and
then
it
is
a
given
how
the
makers
have
to
bring
in
twists
and
turns.
In
the
past
few
days,
I
have
received
numerous
calls
inquiring
whether
I
am
exiting
my
show
because
the
promos
were
showing
my
death.
It
is
true
that
Agastya
gets
killed
in
the
show,
but
I
haven't
exited
the
show.
I
will
have
a
powerful
entry
in
the
show
after
they
show
Agastya's
death.
I
am
playing
a
double
role
and
will
come
back
in
the
show
as
Agastya's
brother.
My
entry
is
planned
in
a
fantastic
way.
My
character
will
be
called
Surya
Pratap
Reddy
now."
Well,
this
is
indeed
a
piece
of
great
news
for
Imlie
and
Sai
Ketan
Rao
fans!
