“Moving on from the show was the demand of the script & need of the hour,” says Dheeraj Dhoopar as he exits Kundali Bhagya

Handsome hunk Dheeraj Dhoopar will be bidding adieu to his most loved character Karan Luthra. Yes, you read it right! Dheeraj will be quitting Kundali Bhagya ending his association of five years with the show.

He was paired opposite Shraddha Arya and their pair was one of the favorites of the Indian audience. The actor recently opened up on why he will be exiting the show and also shared details about his future endeavors.

He said, “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.”

Speaking of his last few days from the show, he said, “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.”

Meanwhile, the actor has revealed that he will be trying his luck in Bollywood, Punjabi films, and OTT. He mentioned that he didn’t wish to switch to another medium just for the heck of it. Dheeraj confessed that he won't abandon the small screen and will take up a TV show if it’s interesting.
