Yes, it was her decision to leave the show.

I remember earlier in the year she gave an interview saying she was told when she entered the show that they were heading towards a 10 year leap at some point and she will have to play a mother to grown up kids. So I don't think that's the issue. I think it is the lack of screen space and no proper storyline centered around her character.

And it's not like she's playing a 40 year old. She was a college student when she joined the show so was probably in her early 20s. Now 10 years later she is most likely in her early 30s. And Tolu/Molu are her step children, not real children.

She was finally given some focus during the Rashi Jr. murdering track and then the pregnancy track. Now that's also taken a backseat since Vidya's wedding was set.

Btw, this is from Lovey's interview from June this year:

Do you think your character has taken a backseat after the time leap in the show? I don't think so. If we are working in a telly series, we have to be very sure because every time the camera won't focus on us. As far as Saathiya' is concerned, it is a family based show and in a family only one member can't be always important. Family is something where all the members have the same value. However, my fans can make out what issues my character is going to face in the upcoming tracks of the show. So, I am very much sure Paridhi is important character in Modi house.

How did you convince to play the mother of two grown-ups? How do you feel playing the role now? I am friends with almost all the new entries (grown up characters). And when it comes to playing a mother, it is not only I who is doing so. If one needs to work in TV series, he/she needs to be prepared for the same. Not only in our show but any show time leap is very common. So, it's not a big deal. Because off reel, I am the real me Lovey not Paridhi and the viewers understand it very well! If you get into acting you should always be worried about how important your character is, not the age factor or the onscreen look that's what I feel!

During that time they were building up to Paridhi's problems with Rashi Jr. and her demands for pregnancy. But since Gaura entered, the track didn't get much importance. And due to Meera/Vidya's sasural drama, I doubt there is much scope to give importance to Paridhi and her tracks.

As I've already said, Rucha was always treated well. Leaving the show was her own decision because she no longer wanted to act and wanted to spend more time with her family before getting married.
