mantu is or shall I say up until a month ago was the main male lead of tere sheher mein on star plus opposite the main girl Amaya. Amaya was in love with mantu secretly and mantu eventually fell for her but due to misunderstandings cause of mantu's best friend uma neither could tell each other their feelings. when rama (mantu's best friend and parallel male lead) was to marry rachita (Amaya's elder sister and parallel female lead) there were hints shown that something would happen between Amaya-rama. mantu before the sangeet blurted out the truth to Amaya that he loves her and he wanted to know how she feels too. Amaya stupidly didn't tell him and sed she would tell him when her sister and rama marry but on the day rama's mum blackmails Amaya to marry rama instead of her sister so Amaya is forced to sit in the mandap disguised as the bride and marries rama without telling anyone. so mantu and Amaya are separated forever due to this and now mantu despite being the male lead in the beginning was sidelined and rama who was the second lead was made into the new lead and dhruv who plays mantu got sick of all this and has now quit :( you guys can expect something similar to happen to samar-karan-lakshmi.
