Tellychakkar.com served our readers ‘fresh’ news about Mrunal Thakur being roped in to play the lead along with Sriti Jha in Balaji Telefilms’ new show Kumkum Bhagya on Zee TV. We now have a heart-breaking, yet true news from Ekta Kapoor’s long-running show Pavitra Rishta (also on Zee TV). Well, the expected has indeed happened and the new-generation heartthrobs on the show, Rithvik Dhanjani and Asha Negi have quit the show for good. Yes, a source from the set of Pavitra Rishta tells us that Rithvik and Asha, who had been contemplating to leave the show for quite some time now, have gone on to shoot for their final scene in the soap. Pavitra Rishta, as viewers would know, gave them all the name and fame, and of course brought them together as a couple in real life. The duo will be getting a simple exit from the show, without much drama attached!!! A source tells us that as per the ongoing track, it has been shown that Arjun (Rithvik Dhanjani) has been suffering from a brain clot. And Arjun along with Purvi (Asha Negi) will be shown going abroad for his brain surgery. The source also clarifies that the creative team has not yet contemplated whether to bring in a replacement for these two prominent and popular characters on the show. As of now, Arjun and Purvi will not be shown, but nothing is clear on their future. Rithvik and Asha who had won many hearts on the sets of Pavitra Rishta were given a nice farewell. The duo who fell in love on the sets of the show, confessed publicly about their affair on the reality show Nach Baliye (Star Plus), which they eventually went on to win. We tried our level best to get in touch with Rithvik and Asha, but could not reach them as they were out of the country. We hope they have a great professional journey from here on.
