One more theory, they were planning to send Rishabh for a week or more to London. We know when they send off Rishabh they donāt bring him back for a month minimum.
Meaning he wonāt be seen for a month atleast till they call him back. By that time 1 month notice is also over. They were never planning to shoot with him for a month atleast after sending him away.
So he technically fulfills the terms of contract too.
Edit
They will replace Rishabh with another character which will allow Sherlyn to stay on
Or
Kill Rishabh and as you said Sherlyn will continue to stay on.
Sanjay and Sarla are on a longer break. No guarantee Prithvi will return. They will just show Prithvi got bail and Sherlyn will tell Prithvi to lay low and wait till she calls him back. This will account for his absence.
Shrishti and Sarla are busy with another shows so they are not required. Sameer is already rarely seen, he is just now one among the crowd now.
