New Delhi: Star Plus show 'Ishqbaaz’ loyal fans went berserk when they came to know that lead actor Leenesh Mattoo is quitting the show. It was being said that actor is leaving the show because he was not happy with the way his character was developing.

But now, we have got the real story and also good news for the fans of Ishqbaaz. The happy news is that Leenesh is not quitting the show and will be very much playing the role of ‘Rudra Singh Oberoi’. The real story is that earlier actor bagged lead role in Colors TV’s upcoming show Savitri Devi College aur Hospital.

As per the source of a leading entertainment portal, “When Leenesh talked about this to Star and also to the production house, they apparently decided to relieve him off his duties. Leenesh soon was serving his notice period when the unexpected happened. For some reason, the rival channel (Colors) did not want to take him in and he was notified of the same. And this ultimately resulted in Leenesh staying back to find more glory in Ishqbaaaz.”

Also a source close to the actor informed the portal, “Star actually did not relieve Leenesh off duties, as they did not want their prime actor to move out and find greener pastures in a rival channel. Hence the thought of Leenesh quitting Ishqbaaaz ended then and there.”

In Ishqbaaz, Nakuul Mehta aka Shivaay Singh Oberoi, Kunal Jaisingh aka Omkara Singh Oberoi , Leenesh Mattoo aka Rudra Singh Oberoi and Surbhi Chandna aka Anika play the lead characters.

Are Ishqbaaz fans happy now?
