Sanjay Gagnani on bidding farewell to Kundali Bhagya; says, “I need to look at newer opportunities”
Sanjay Gagnani, who has become a household name with his role as Prithvi in Kundali Bhagya has been essaying the role for the last six years. The actor is finally bidding adieu to the show and is planning to quit the show in December.
Sanjay talked about his reasons to quit the show and said, “There has been a lot of speculation about my exiting Kundali Bhagya over the past few months. It’s true that I had plans to quit the show in December but then I had a change of heart. The character Prithvi has gone through ups and downs, and I have exited and entered the show thrice in the past. Every time my character exited the show, I felt that it had a scope and there was still more I could contribute to it. However, now that the show is taking a leap, I have decided to exit. Over the years, I grew emotionally attached to the entire team of Kundali Bhagya.”
The actor is now looking at other options. He said, “Just as Kundali is taking a leap, my professional career is also taking a leap. I would now like to explore web shows and other platforms. I want to be a versatile actor. I would like to wish the Kundali team and especially the actor who will now be essaying the villain all the best.”
Talking about the show, Kundali Bhagya is taking a 20-year leap. The lead actor Shakti Arora, who had replaced Dheeraj Dhoopar in the show, is also quitting the show. According to the reports, he does not want to play father to grown-up children. Shraddha Arya will however continue to be part of the show.
