New Delhi: 'Kundali Bhagya' is undoubtedly one of the most followed and popular shows on Television. The show is usually in the Top 10 category TRP wise every week. As per an ETimes report, one of the show's most loved actors Shakti Arora will no longer be part of the show. Shakti Arora is not a very old cast addition. He joined the show after Dheeraj Dhoopar quit the show in 2022. 'Kundali Bhagya' will be showing a 20-year leap wherein the lead actors will play parents to grown-ups. Since Shakti did not want to play the role of a father, he decided to move on.
A source told ETimes, "The show is headed for a 20-year leap. Shraddha Arya and Shakti Arora will have to play parents to grown-ups and while Shraddha had no qualms playing the part, Shakti did not want to do it."
"Shakti would have continued if there was no leap. But mentally he is not ready to play father on TV to an adult. The leap will take place in the first week of March," the source added.
Shakti, who was earlier part of 'Silsila Badalte Rishton Ka' and 'Meri Aashiqui Tum Se Hi' quit those shows after they had taken a leap and had required the actors to play parents.
Earlier in an interview with Bombay Times, Shakti had said he loved doing diverse roles and was very choosy about them. "I love doing diverse roles and I am choosy about them. I would love to do a web show or film or TV show, but the role has to be interesting and challenge me as an actor." Shakti has been part of interesting shows like Silsila Badalte Rishton Ka, Pavitra Rishta and even did reality shows like Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa and Nach Baliye." He had said.
Shakti Arora primarily works in the TV industry. He has worked in shows like ' Tere Liye', 'Pavitra Rishta', 'Meri Aashiqui Tum Se Hi' and 'Silsila Badalte Rishton Ka'. Shakti was also part of dance reality shows like 'Nach Baliye 7' (2015) and 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa'. Arora made his television debut in 2006 with Ssshhhh...Phir Koi Hai and then played Kamran in Sony SAB's Left Right Left that year
