Pakistani artistes Shakeel Siddiqui and Kashif Khan will not be seen in <em> Kaante Ki Takkar </em> anymore. The two had reached the finals but their absence has completely changed the equation of the show. The duo had left India in the aftermath of the Mumbai terror attack.

It seems this show cannot keep its male leads for long! First, Arjun Punjj, who played Raj on <em>Woh Rehne Wali Mehlon Ki</em>, quit a couple of months back to concentrate on films and now his replacement, Kashif is also been bumped off from the show. Kashif's character will be shown dead in an accident and this will leave Rani helpless and distarught.
