The feeling of Jigyasa Singh no longer being on 'Thapki Pyaar Ki 2' sets is still sinking in: Rachana Mistry

Colors' show 'Thapki Pyaar Ki 2' recently witnessed a major change. India Forums was the first one to report about Jigyasa Singh quitting the show. Newbie Prachi Bansal has been roped in to play the titular role post Singh's exit.

India Forums got in touch with actress Rachana Mistry who plays the character of Hansika in the show. Rachna and Jigyasa come a long way as the duo were also a part of Colors show 'Shakti: Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki' wherein Rachna played a positive role. Fate brought the good friends together on yet another show (Thapki Pyaar Ki 2) post which their friendship only grew stronger.

We asked the gorgeous actress about her thoughts on Jigyasa’s exit from the show. She said, “Ofcourse the show has been affected by the same because the very first name and face that you can visualize when I say the word ‘Thapki’ is that of Jigyasa. She has been Thapki for a long time and have given a stellar performance and thus her exit has surely affected the show but all of us are coping up with it. Even the audiences are being considerate and we’re hoping for the best”.

She further added, “When I heard about the information that Jigyasa will have to quit the show, I was in denial for a long time. I was hoping that things will work out. However, it didn’t and she had to leave. I’m deeply saddened by the fact that she isn’t around. Whenever I pass by her room on the sets, it hurts to know that she is not in the room anymore. A lot of videos of us crying on her last day on the sets have gone viral and I feel that pretty much sums up the bond that I had with her. Having said that, we’re great friends and we’re in touch with each other. I miss her a lot but she’s always around to guide me and pen her love to me”.

“It is still sinking in as at times when I’m on set I feel like Jiggu will walk into my room and say ‘Hello Sundari’. It is difficult and I’ll take time to get the hang of it. Everyone on the sets is wishing for her speedy recovery”, Rachana quipped.
