Telly Buzz recently broke the news of the entry of the parallel leads, Madhura Naik and Gagan Malik in Star One's epic love story Shakuntala, produced by Sagar Arts.

But now the news is that Madhura Naik is finding it difficult to cope up with the regular travel between Ahmedabad and Mumbai and has decided to quit Shakuntala.

According to our source, "The shoot for Shakuntala is in Gandhinagar, Ahmedabad and actors who are doing more than one projects are finding it difficult".

We called Madhura who confirmed the news and said, "Yes, I have decided to quit Shakuntala as I am not able to manage my dates for Kis Desh".

If sources are to be believed, Madhura's track will come into the fore again in Star Plus' Kis Desh where she will eventually get married to Harman and will enter the Juneja House to create more problems.

Madhura Naik essays the role of Dushyant's sister Princess Gauri in Shakuntala..

It is also heard that the production house and the channel are looking for a suitable replacement for the role of Gauri.
