It wasn’t an easy decision to quit Kundali Bhagya (KB) but it was time to move on, admits Dheeraj Dhoopar, who has been a part of the show since its inception. He became a household name as Karan Luthra and now, five years later, he has decided to make a graceful exit from the daily soap. He says, “KB has given me name, fame and stardom. The show is my baby and I am very attached to my character, Karan Luthra. I am grateful to Ekta Kapoor for curating such an amazing character for me. But moving on from the show was the demand of the script and the need of the hour. The makers and I mutually and amicably arrived at this conclusion. Coincidentally, the exit of the character and me getting other opportunities happened at the same time.”
Understandably, the last few days on the set of the show were difficult for the actor and the unit members. He shares, “I still can’t believe that I am no longer a part of Kundali Bhagya. The feeling is yet to sink in. Karan and Dheeraj are alike and hence, there is no way that I can be separated from Karan. I am bidding adieu to KB with a heavy heart but as I said, the time is opportune to embark on a new journey both for the show and me.”
