I didn't quit the show because of Shoaib: Dipika Samson
"Firstly, I would not like to comment on him. This is about my professional growth and it has nothing to do with my colleagues," says she, adding, "There have been creative issues for over a year, and I had requested the producers to better my track. When nothing worked out, I decided to call it quits."
Is she piqued that her co-actor Avika Gor has become more significant in the show, despite her playing the title role? She says, "I'm not concerned about other characters. Also, I have faced this comparison from day one. Avika became huge after her stint in Balika Vadhu and I was rather fresh. There have been many shows on sisters, with both actresses sharing equal screen space. Other characters have also been active at various stages of the track." The producer is busy finalising Dipika's replacement.
Speculations are rife that Dipika who played Simar in the hit TV soap quit the show after being influenced by boyfriend Shoaib. Read on to find out what really happened...
Dipika Samson had a three-year long run as Simar in one of the most loved TV shows on Colors, Sasural Simar Ka. But her departure has spiked controversial rumours. Some say that Dipika was tempted to quit the show ever since her boyfriend Shoaib quit, who played Dipika's onscreen husband in the show.
Shoaib issued a statement saying that the reason for his departure was the lack of screen space on the show. Dipika also made a similar claim and cited creative differences to be blamed for her exodus. We were also given to believe that Dipika was bored of her track and didn't see any probable character growth. And so she left. Simar was doted on by the viewers till the time Roli's (Avika Gor) character developed by leaps and bounds and just like that Simar was replaced by Roli for fans. Perhaps Dipika wanted Simar to be as interesting as Roli but the producers turned a blind eye to her demands and accepted her resignation.
As the show makers are looking for a new Simar, we hope that Dipika finds new opportunities
