Baseer Ali on his exit from Kundali Bhagya

Pinkvilla got in touch with Baseer Ali to ask him about what made him change his mind and continue with Kundali Bhagya. He said, "Well, that's untrue. I had gone on a vacation and resumed the show after that. I hadn't been on a vacation since a long time and thus took some time off. I am currently on a notice period and haven't received a clarity over my exit from the show. I am still waiting for the people in charge to update me on the same."

Take a look at Baseer Ali's Instagram post from the sets of Kundali Bhagya:


Baseer Ali reveals not being satisfied with the character graph

When asked if he wasn't satisfied with the character graph, resulting in him quitting the show, Baseer added, "I believe there was a miscommunication. I was expecting something else from the show. I had a few discussion with the team but things don't seem to work according to my expectations, so I decided to move on. I would love to take up something meatier in future. Having said that, I have immense gratitude for the makers. This was my debut as an actor and I loved essaying Shaurya Luthra so far. It has been a fun ride."

Kundali Bhagya started with Shraddha Arya, Dheeraj Dhoopar, and Manit Jaura playing the lead roles of Preeta, Karan, and Rishab, respectively.

She said,  "I am sure it is going to be challenging. But I feel I've done it before. Even in Imlie, I entered post-leap, and there was a lot of pressure and responsibility on my shoulders and this time around too, this will be a challenge."
