Dheeraj too confirmed the same and told TOI that, “I was excited about exploring something new in my career. However, during rehearsals, I realised that it required a great amount of prep and I didn’t want to be less prepared. With a tight schedule (he plays the male lead on 'Kundali Bhagya'), it wouldn’t have been possible to invest so much time on another show, which is why I opted out.”

Few days ago, Anita happily announced the same on social media. The TV actress, who also has shows like 'Naagin 3' and 'Yeh Hai Mohabbatein' in her kitty, is very excited to be a part of the show.
