Parth Samthaan quits Kasautii Zindagii Kay

After Aamna Sharif replaced Hina Khan as Komolika and Karan Patel stepped into Karan Singh Grover’s shoes to play the iconic character of Mr. Bajaj, Star Plus’ leading show Kasautii Zindagii Kay is set for yet another high-profile exit. Yes, you read that absolutely right!

According to reports, the show’s male lead Parth Samthaan is set to put his papers down as he wants to devote time to his health and other projects, including a Bollywood film. After recovering from COVID 19, the actor resumed shoot for Kasautii Zindagii Kay last week. The news of him bowing out of the show has come as a shock for his fans.


“Parth wants to now direct his attention towards his health and the other projects he is in talks with. Ekta Kapoor (producer) has been trying to persuade Parth into retainment, but the actor has expressed his wish to opt out. The production, in the meantime, has already started to consider actors to step in Parth's shoes but are finding it difficult,” a source close to the development informs an online publication.

It is interesting to note that during a recent live session with the same online publication, Parth had talked about a Bollywood project he was in talks for. It looks like the actor has indeed signed that project and hence, he is bidding goodbye to Kasautii Zindagii Kay. An official announcement on the same is, however, still awaited.

According to reports, Parth Samthaan also has a web show on his platter, which is expected to hit an OTT platform soon.

  • Part of wider plan to fight violence against women and online harm.
  • Tech firms will be forced to block such content or face heavy Ofcom fines.
  • Experts say the ban responds to medical evidence and years of campaigning.

You see it everywhere now. In mainstream pornography, a man’s hands around a woman’s neck. It has become so common that for many, especially the young, it just seems like part of sex, a normal step. The UK government has decided it should not be, and soon, it will be a crime.

The plan is to make possessing or distributing pornographic material that shows sexual strangulation, often called ‘choking’, illegal. This is a specific amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill. Ministers are acting on the back of a stark, independent review. That report found this kind of violence is not just available online, but it is rampant. It has quietly, steadily, become normalised.
