Colors’ popular show ‘Thapki Pyaar Ki 2’ recently witnessed a major change as the lead actress Jigyasa Singh quit the show midway because of her health issues. Newbie Prachi Bansal has been roped in to play Thapki. The promo featuring Prachi as Thapki has already hit the tube.

India Forums got in touch with veteran actor Jaya Bhattacharya who’s an integeral part of the show. We asked the renowned actress about the pressures post the lead actress leaves the show. Jaya replied, “Well, yes it creates a furore in the show, but then one has to adjust to the situation and support the new actor in all ways possible, guide her like our Director Sanjay is doing and hope for the best that everything turns out well. When it’s a health issue for the earlier actress which caused her to leave the show, then one needs to adjust to it and the audience also understand the scenario. We’re hoping for the best”.

Talking about Singh’s exit, Jaya quipped, “Jigyasa had to quit the show because of health issues. A certain part of every episode requires her presence and the episode can not happen without that percentage of her visibility. If she can not contribute that much of time, then how is it going to work. She was also leaving for her brother’s wedding. Although she tried to workout a few things, it was too late as it would have affected the telecast. See, it’s a loss, from both the sides, not just one”.

Although she (Jigyasa) tried to workout a few things, it was too late as it would have affected the telecast. See, it’s a loss, from both the sides, not just one.

Talking about newbie Prach Bansal stepping in as new Thapki, Jaya stated, “The new girl, Prachi, she is a sweet girl. On the day one, when she arrived, we all made it a point that we’re all supportive of her, so that she doesn’t feel out of place. Obviously, she’s stepping into big shoes and she must be scared, nervous and anxious, so, we all worked towards making her comfortable on the sets etc. She is trying her best and everyone is trying to provide as much support as possible. Let’s hope for the best”.

‘Thapki Pyaar Ki 2’ is produced by Shoonya Square Productions and has a stellar star cast including actors like Aakash Ahuja, Jaya Bhattachaya, Prachi Bansal, Rachna Mistry among others.
