From Mid-Day: Purab walks out of Jassi

Sameer Soni has quit Sony's Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin for the fourth time. The
actor, who plays the role of Jassi's one-time love interest, Purab, explains
the logic behind what he calls his last and final walkout from Jassi.

Why have you staged so many exits from Jassi?
It's not something I enjoy doing. When I joined the show, I was narrated a
certain track for Purab.

As the show progressed, I found that what was promised wasn't
happening. This is why I left the show whenever I thought the character
was suffering. I have stopped shooting from the last four or five days.

What issues did you have this time around?
There were a couple of things I was unhappy with. Firstly, post-Jassi's
(Mona Singh) transformation, Purab had hardly anything to do on the
show. He was completely sidelined and reduced to being a nobody.

Secondly, according to the original track, there was supposed to be a love
triangle between Jassi, Purab and Armaan (Apoorva Agnihotri), which
eventually got lost. It has now turned into a Jassi-Armaan love story.

Where does that leave Purab? I don't think he is required on the show
anymore.

But the show does revolve around Jassi and Armaan…
I'm upset about the way a character (who is immensely loved by the
audience) was reduced to being a joke. I though it's completely unfair on
my part to continue being in the show when I am not convinced about it. I
didn't want my issue to be taken as creative interference.

For the last one month, I have been asking the producers to relieve me
from the serial. I don't think it is likely that I will be back on the show like
before.

Are you sure you won't return?
In the present circumstances, I don't think it possible. Audiences
shouldn't be taken for a ride. They are smart enough to figure out what is
happening.

Do you have any other work on hand?
I am currently doing Raell Padamsee's play, Anything But Love, with
Mandira Bedi, it's great fun; I am also being offered other shows. Right
now I'm chilling out and taking a well-deserved break.

Is it true that you had problems working with Apoorva (Armaan)?
I don't know who started this rumour, but there's no truth in this. I know
Appu since way back and we have good on-screen chemistry. I don't
know who says what once the shoot is over — I had no problems working
with him.

hmnnnn..... so he does not even wait around even to show his remorse at the bridal collection as per the leaked script........

I am glad that finally some1 took a decision. Hope others soon follow him out of the serial and live happily ever after there !!!!!

I agree, I hope slowly everyone walks out...maybe then T&D can star in it and enact they silly twists!

Oh! Minnie, I don't know.... Any time now he may stage his fifth walk out.

You can expect it soon

I hope this time he never comes back. though as per the leaked script it he may post-leap. ie now he runs away after jassi sees the hoardings and gives him an earful. then all the stupid gadbad happens. leap happens and then purab comes back with his son. but the question is who will play his wife? meenakshi? only good part of leap will be is sameer soni will play the age he looks.

i feel he did a good thing

infact t&d spoilt his character in the show

If everything goes accordingly, then jassi's daughter is going to be older to Purab's son.......

Now, is that a blooper already or are they going to show some yet another 'path breaking' concept......🤢

By the way, just out of curiosity.....who the heck will be around to find out till then ???????????????

yeah...if all this happens i hope AA and mona leave too. then they can take tarun katiyal as the hero and Ekta kapoor as the heroine and continue with the serial. 😆

or even Tony and deeya could play hero-heroine.
