After playing the lead role of Abhishek Mehra on Ekta Kapoor’s long-running show Kumkum Bhagya for seven years, actor Shabir Ahluwalia has decided to quit the show. He will soon be seen in a new show.

The actor recently spoke about moving on to a new show. He also mentioned how he misses his co-stars from Kumkum Bhagya, especially Sriti Jha and Arjit Taneja, with whom he spent so much time on the sets.

“Every actor has certain apprehensions. KB was essentially a love story, which ran its course after a point. Now, it is not easy to run a daily soap for so long and the only way forward is to show what comes next in a lead couple’s life. So, it is obvious that their kids will grow up, who will take the story forward. That’s only logical and that’s how a show progresses with the next generation taking over. It also infuses newness into the story. I have been in the industry for long enough to understand that progression is important,” he told a publication.

He also spoke about his new show Pyaar Ka Pehla Naam Radha Mohan and said that the team will initially shoot it in Vrindavan before shifting base to Mumbai.
