A new male actor is set to join the cast of Dil Se Dil Tak post Siddharth Shukla’s departure.

It came as a shock to many when Siddharth Shukla announced that he was leaving the cast of ‘Dil Se Dil Tak’. His departure was rather abrupt. Though there were reports of the actor being at loggerheads with the producers and co-stars, no one thought it would come to this extent.

Reportedly, Siddharth went on abusive rants. And his leading co-actresses Rashami Desai and Jasmin Bhasin got the brunt of it.

Finally, when the actor and the producers had had enough, they decided to part ways.

In a tweet Siddharth stated:

“Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer helps you to grow…. Why try to fit in when you are born to stand out…”

In the wake of Siddharth’s departure, the role of the lead male protagonist has gone to Rohan Gandotra.

Speaking about his upcoming role Rohan stated that he had no idea that he was auditioning for the lead character of ‘Dil Se Dil Tak’. All that he knew of the show was from the few episodes he’d watched earlier.

Talking about his character Parth Bhanushali, Rohan said, “I think the character of Parth Bhanushali is nothing about the age. It’s not about Siddharth or me I believe age is just a number, it’s about the character. Siddharth has done an amazing job and I will try to do full justice to my character or maybe reach more.”

‘Dil Se Dil Tak’ will be the first time that Rohan will work with actresses Rashami Desai and Jasmine Bhasin.

“Rashami Desai has done some amazing shows in the industry and Jasmin’s performance in Dilse Dil Tak has been commendable and gained popularity. I have seen few episodes and have also seen Parth and Shorwari’s chemistry and do hope to justify that and work well. I have been a fan of Rashami’s work in the past and Jasmin also. And I hope I can learn from that also,” says Rohan.

Previously, Rohan has been a part of the show like ‘Kaala Teeka’, ‘Everest’ and ‘Qubool Hai’.
