Putting speculations to rest, Chavi Mittal has decided to quit her show Tumhari Disha.
Chavi, currently in London, says, "I feel it's too early for me to play an older woman. Perhaps five years later I will be ready to play it. But for now, I have taken the decision of leaving the show."
She continues, "I have parted on cordial terms with the production house. They understood my priorities and I am thankful for that."
Chavi has taken a bold step, considering she has no work in hand. She says, "I know I have taken a risk but I had no choice. I don't have any offers at the moment and can only hope that my decision is right. I intend to get back to work after a break."
However, the show will continue to run without the protagonist. Ashwini Yardi, Zee TV's programming head, says, "Disha's memories will be kept alive in DK's (her on-screen husband played by Ashish Nayyar) mind. Meanwhile, the story will move ahead by 25 years."
