Kunal Thakur Quits 'Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2' Feeling Unsafe Under Current Circumstances

Thakur said, “The makers had planned a leap and we were chosen to add a fresh angle to the show, but then, the lockdown happened. Now, they are again planning to introduce many changes and twists. While I have no issues creatively, I don’t feel safe shooting under the current circumstances.”

The resumption of shoots has indeed led to an array of debates too where some people continue to stress on how they don't agree with resuming work right now where the scare of contracting the disease is probably at its max and cases are only rising four times with every passing day. On the other hand, the practical side dictates how resuming work is indeed the only way that people can earn money to feed their households, especially when it comes to the technicians and crew of a shoot. Nevertheless, a major chunk of shows has resumed work but there have also been multiple news about how several actors are not continuing to be a part of the show anymore owing to COVID-19 scare.

And on that note, actor Kunal Thakur, who made his TV debut with Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 is all set to quit the show.

In an interview with Bombay Times, Thakur said, “The makers had planned a leap and we were chosen to add a fresh angle to the show, but then, the lockdown happened. Now, they are again planning to introduce many changes and twists. While I have no issues creatively, I don’t feel safe shooting under the current circumstances.”

He adds, “I recently underwent a wisdom tooth surgery and was on medication. My immunity has dipped due to this. Also, the monsoon season has started and it’s not feasible for me to commute from my residence in Madh Island to Andheri. My area is a containment zone and I don’t have a driver who will take me to work everyday. I am very new to the industry and I feel that I am not equipped to combat such a crisis while I am shooting. I would like to stay at home till the scare settles.”

The guy had taken a smart decision. Risking life for few bucks is probably not an option.

I dont understand whats the purpose of bringing back this show as if hadn't created enough nuisance in audience's mind with its bizarre story. If Ekta wants to earn she can wait a little and then produce a brand new show but no they will have to book the slot so that if audience dont have any other option to watch at 8 pm they watch their show. How disgusting !! 😏
