Mohit Malik clears rumours of quitting Kullfi Kumarr Bajewala

Rumours are rife in telly-town that popular television actor Mohit Malik has decided to bid adieu to his successful show Kullfi Kumarr Bajewala. The Star Plus series, which has been running successfully for more than a year now, features him in the lead role of Sikandar Singh Gill.

The show was recently in news for a change in its time slot. We also hear that it is heading for a leap as well and there are going to be a number of changes post leap. It has been reported by several media outlets that Mohit Malik will quit the series post leap.


However, when the actor was contacted, he denied the news. “Nothing is confirmed yet. I have not been communicated about the leap so I am not in the position to comment on it. For, now I am very much part of the show and if at all I plan to quit, I would announce the same,” said Mohit Malik.

There is a new promo airing on the channel, which hints at Malik’s character Sikander bidding adieu. Mohit has also expressed his unhappiness at the time slot of Kullfi Kumarr Bajewala shifting from 20:30 to 18:30. But he said it was the channel’s call.

Well, there is nothing new in actors leaving popular shows after generation or time leaps. There is a long list of actors who have done so in the past. In some cases, the show manages to hold audiences’ attention after the exit of a popular character. In other cases, they fail miserably. It will be interesting to see the fate of Kullfi Kumarr Bajewala if Mohit Malik quits the show.
