Why they are in a hurry for the leap? i just start watching the old episodes of Ashoka & is completely smitten by Siddharth's acting! His acting is just mind blowing! he is the heart & soul n everything of the show, without him the show is gonna look completely empty though I am sure Mohit will do a great job but he will not be able to replace Siddharth from any angle, Siddharth is a complete treat to watch.
I wonder why the creative want to take a leap so soon? Siddharth is very popular among the audiences he has a large fan following & the shows trp is also didn't went down that much then why this sudden leap decision? They easily could run the show for at least 6 months more without taking this big leap.
I just wish Siddharth could have been there even after the leap & the show could have finished just with him, no one can replace him it doesn't matter how much great the new actor is gonna be. I can imagine how much his fans (of course that includes me too) are gonna miss him as ashok, I wish the creative team could have given a rethought about the leap once more and could extend Siddharth's role for some month more.
