Yes, Mohit Malik is quitting Kulfii Kumar Bajewala. His character was adored by all and he went on to carve a place for himself in the hearts of viewers with his charm and finesse. Now that he is quitting, he talked about his decision to Bombay Times.
He said,“It has been an emotional journey for me. I started working on the show exactly two years ago and it’s time now to say goodbye. As they say, all good things come to an end. The show explored the father-daughter bond beautifully and I guess the makers felt a leap was necessary. I liked the fact that they focused on the father-daughter bond and did not try to introduce a romantic angle for my character Sikandar (Mohit Malik) after Nimrat (Shruti Sharma) died in the show. Though he married Loveleen, the show only revolved around Sikandar and his two daughters.” Talking about his reasons for quitting the show, he says, “I was fine with playing father to two small girls in the show. But I do not want to play a father to grown-up girls because I don’t think it will look convincing.”
In a few weeks, Mohit’s character, who is currently suffering from brain tumour on the show, will be shown dead. “I am still shooting, and so the feeling that I will no longer get to spend time with my on-screen daughters (Akriti Sharma and Myra Singh) is yet to sink in. I shot for the show like they were my real daughters and it’s going to be tough.”
Talking about his future plans, he says, “I plan to take a short break and then again get back to work. I want to do different roles.”
