TOI:I wasn't expecting my track to end so soon'!Barkha Bisht

"I didn't expect Asha to be bumped off, since she is one of the core characters of the show.The producers informed me the moment they finalised the track, and it doesn't seem to be an overnight decision. Every two weeks, we were trying something new to up the ratings," she says, adding, "I am practical and understand the pulse of the industry . I am sad that I am out of a show that I've been part of since its inception. I think they decided to end my character because of its shock value. Had it been any oth er character, the level of shock would have been lower."

It was also rumoured that she didn't get along with child artist Arsheen Namdaar, who played her daughter, Avni, on the show. "The story was always from Avni's perspective and hence, she was the protagonist. But that does not mean that I was any less important. A 10year-old can't make me feel insecure. As far as not getting along with her is concerned, you don't connect with all your colleagues; it's just that I had a better equation with other people.Today's children are extremely professional and mature for their age because of the exposure they get. My love, affection and patience are only for my daughter," she signs off.
