Who are we to decide if Ankit should leave the show or not?
IMO, I feel that Ankit should do what pleases him. If he is satisfied with the character of Mayank, gets a good paycheck, gets recognition & if the character of Mayank satisfies his desire of being an actor then I don't see any reason for him to quit the show.
The character of Mayank has many layers & he gets to potray them all. Yes the character of Mayank has been one dimensional for a while now with constant cribbing & whinning but if in future if he's character is shown redeemed then I think it would be a good pay off.
The comparison with Jagya is very apt Riva. The 2 characters have a lot in common & if Jagya can be shown to redeem, why not Mayank? Both of them were grey characters & mayanks character does have chances of being a good realistic character provided CV's potray it well.
He should redeem himself for his own sake rather than with the intention of impressing Gunjan. That makes his character really hollow. He should move away from Gunjan, forget her, divorce charu, think a lil more about his family & Career & ultimately get a nice girl & be settled in Life.
If Ankit is not happy with the character & if in future Mayank continues to remain one dimensional, does not show signs of redemption & if Ankit gets an even more better opportunity, he should go for it & leave the show. The actor would be replaced, nevertheless.
P.S: I cant believe I said so much about Mayank, the character I detest the most 😲 But guess this topic is more about Ankit so thinking from a broader perspective 😳
