Guys, I'm not sure if this article has been posted earlier. Excuse me if its a repeat.
When lead characters get troublesome or there are date issues, they are promptly replaced in TV serials. However, more than replacement, the favourite way now is to kill the character. After all, what better way to shock the audience than by giving the characters an unnatural death, thereby benefiting the serial?
Next in line is Yuvika Choudhury who plays Aastha in Zee TV's Astitva Ek Prem Kahani. Yuvika, a contestant of the much hyped Zee Cine Stars Ki Khoj, was chosen to play Dr Simran's( Nikki Aneja) adopted daughter in the serial this March. But within six months the good looking youngster had decided that she doesn't want to act in a serial but concentrate on films, with a couple of offers coming her way. The producers on their part don't want the redundant replacement theory. They are all set to bump off Aastha in a car accident, a terrorist attack that also leaves Dr Simran blind.
Interestingly, Yuvika's co-contestant Abbas had also joined the serial as Harsh Chhaya's son Siddhant around the same time, but left amid controversy when he alleged that Niki Aneja's highhanded behaviour forced him to take that step. He was replaced by Vishal Singh. Yuvika is also said to have faced similar non-co-operative behaviour from Niki, who had reportedly said that the only dedicated youngster in Astitva is Upasana Shukla (who plays Sia, her real daughter). The death of the youngest and the best looking character in the show will shock the audience and is an important turning point in the life of lead character Dr Simran who will now have a changed perspective towards life.
Yuvika commented on the exit: "I always wanted to do films. I am getting a lot of offers from the South and even Bollywood. Since I won't be able to handle both, I decided to leave. Did she ever feel left out or was she unhappy? "People change, but I am the same. I have always shown respect towards my seniors. Only if you think you are lonely and left out (on the sets), you feel it more.''
Astitva sure has a sad turning point as of now. But whether this move actually benefits the show or not remains to be seen. "But I will be happy if my fans feel sad when Aastha is no more. In fact, I am awaiting that feedback. And I also hope they will wish me all the best for my career in Bollywood,'' Yuvika adds.
