It is official that actor Raqesh Vashishth, who was playing the role of Asad in Zee TV's Qubool Hai' until now, has opted out of the show as the track is going to take a leap in the coming days.
As the news of his sudden exit has spread like wild fire in the industry and everywhere, Raqesh has put forth an explanation on his shocking decision to leave the show, on his microblogging page.
This is what exactly Raqesh posted on Twitter:
"The production and channel team of Qubool Hai' was very keen to get me on board from day 1. I knew upon signing my work will be for a specific time period. Many would ask why I took the offer to begin with. Firstly, for Gul (Gul Khan, producer). I really admired and still admire Gul and wanted to work with her. As an actor it's important to work with people your thoughts and wavelength matches with and be creatively satisfied.
Maybe Gul and I will do something bigger and better in the future. Who knows. Qubool hai' definitely presented challenges in front of me such as pressure of replacement, of joining a show in between and its end. But as an actor I am secure to know that the closure of shows is not the end for an actor. TV is in a great space today with various acting opportunities to offer. I cannot limit myself or my hunger to learn out of fear of anything. I am open to diverse roles and experiments more than ever. I really enjoyed my stint in the show and am happy I could give them their 'Asad' when they needed one.
I wish the entire team of Qubool Hai' and ZeeTV massive success. May the show prosper for everyone just as it has done always."
Well, no doubt Raqesh's exit is very disappointing and the feeling has not sunk in yet. Yet, we wish him great success in his future endeavours.
