Colors show ‘Shakti — Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki’ welcomed popular actor Avinash Mukherjee. But the actor has been missing from the show since a few weeks and in a tete-e-tete he told TOI that he had taken a short break from shooting the show and was in Pune for a medical emergency in his family.
However, it has been two months since his character Soham Singh hasn’t returned on ‘Shakti — Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki,. It has made his fans curious and the fans of the show too are missing seeing him in the story. Now the makers have also changed the track of the show, hinting that Avinash’s character might not return at all.
The Balika Vadhu actor said to TOI, “My journey in ‘Shakti — Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki’ has been fantastic and I am grateful for the production house for their immense trust in me as my Soham has given me a lot of love and acceptance, but now, as the show moves ahead, the broad story is changing. So right now, it’s evident that my character is not returning on the show any time soon. As the storyline was changing, the makers and I, mutually decided to take a temporary break from the show. I also had a family emergency and I had to travel out of Mumbai in December which further delayed my return.”
Having said that, the young artiste admits that he is going to miss being a part of the show, portraying Soham and his co-stars Jigyasha Singh, Simba Nagpal, among others. “The character of Soham remains one of the most interesting characters that I have played. The show remained my constant during the lockdown as I was shooting content for both the channel and the show. For the entire 2020, I have given my 100 percent to ‘Shakti… It has been an amazing journey. I will miss my co-actors, the set, the daily shooting routine, which I’ve been away from for over two months now,” laments Avinash.
Well, we would love seeing him on screen soon. If not in SHakti then in some other show.
