Exclusive! I had to be fair to myself: Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia on quitting Choti Sarrdaarni

Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia (Femina Miss India Manipur 2018) became a household name as Meher in Choti Sarrdaarni, which marked her debut as an actress on the small screen. However, last month Nimrit decided to quit the show and move on. She says, “It was a great journey. Choti Sarrdaarni (CS) will always be my baby because this was the first set I ever stepped foot on. But with time and other factors in mind, I realised that change is the only constant.”

In February 2021, Nimrit had complained of chronic fatigue, anxiety and burnout. Did she quit the show owing to health issues, given that last year, too, she had complained of chronic fatigue and anxiety? She replies, “Yes. I feel the medium we are a part of requires a certain kind of commitment. I have faced different situations, constantly pushed myself and given more than 100 per cent while shooting. But sometimes in life, it becomes important to choose yourself and your well-being. I have spent three years on the set and I wish I could have continued, but that wouldn’t have been fair to myself. I needed to take time off.”
