Ankit Kakar quits two shows to play a lead in one

A show tries to put the spotlight on every character at the time of its inception. However, amendments are made as the plot thickens and the key characters are merely reduced to appear in a scene or two. This is usually the main reason for an actor to quit an ongoing show, more so if a tempting opportunity waits for him with open arms.

Falling in this bracket is actor Ankit Kakkar who was portraying the character of Gautam in Star Plus' Navya and Aryeman in Imagine's Chandragupta Maurya. The actor decided to walk out from Navya as he was not content with the way his character was progressing. But the factual reason is that he is eagerly looking for an opportunity to be the main protagonist in a show.

We contacted Ankit who confirmed the report and stated, "Yes I have left Navya as I am looking for an opportunity to play a main lead whereas my character in Chandragupta Maurya will be killed."

We hope that the actor is successful in finding his dream role and this risk proves to be worth the while…
