Avneet Kaur Quits 'Aladdin', Ashi Singh To Replace Her

As the lockdown for shooting purposes is technically lifted and we have witnessed how multiple shows are all set to be resuming shoot soon (some of them have done already), several changes are indeed happening.

One of the most popular shows for Sab TV, Aladdin Naam Toh Suna Hoga will witness the biggest development as leading lady Avneet Kaur has quit the show.

Yes! That's right. According to Bombay Times, Kaur has quit Aladdin: Naam Toh Suna Hoga. And replacing here in the show is none other than actor Ashi Singh, who we best know as Naina from Yeh Un Dinon Ki Baat Hai. Just before the lockdown was imposed, Singh was finalized to play the grown-up character in Dil Jaise Dhadke Dhadakne Do but the show was finalized to go off-air in the lockdown period itself.

However, it is now sealed that Singh will be playing the role of Yasmin in the show. Singh confirmed the same saying that as an artiste, she strives to play different roles and Yasmine is indeed nothing like Naina. She also added how she never thought that she would be a part of a fantasy show so when Aladdin was offered to her, she didn't think of anything else. She said how she is excited to perform action on-screen for the first time and how she will work hard to play the part convincingly.

On replacing Kaur, she mentioned how she never wanted to replace anyone and it is difficult to surpass a benchmark set by the original actor. Though she pointed out that this three-month break will probably work in her favor as the viewers will have to reconnect with these shows and it will be easier for them to accept a new face.

When it comes to Kaur, she also confirmed saying that she left the show because of the coronavirus crisis. She suffered from dengue last year and resumed work despite her immunity not being strong. She also added how there was added stress of her board exam preparation and hence that made her really weak.

So, she is currently scared to resume shooting and hence her parents and she decided that it is better if she quits. She concluded saying she is sad but health comes first.
