The serial has had a bizarre history of dropouts, from Rohit Roy to Nausheen Ali Sardar. The current Kkusum, Manasi Joshi Roy, is Rohit Roy's wife.
Rohit Roy (Abhay)
Stepped in, in place of Anuj Saxena when Nausheen was Kkusum. In 2003, Saxena had quit the show only to return again in a couple of months.
Nausheen Ali Sardar (Kkusum)
She quit in February last year. The reason: her unhappiness at playing mother to a grown-up daughter. Manasi Joshi Roy replaced her.
Narayani Shastri (Taashu)
Shastri, who played the vampish Taashu, was planning to quit the show. She said she found herself crowded with too many negative characters around. Ekta Kapoor asked her to hold on, promising a change of track.
Mouli Ganguly (Vidhi)
The latest to join the bandwagon opposite Trishul (Akashdeep Sehgal) — is said to be staying on.
