Rumours suggest that not only Surbhi, her co-star Nakuul Mehta has also put his papers down and will be exciting the show very soon. However, neither the actor nor the producer has confirmed the news.

Reportedly, Ishqbaaaz, which hit the airwaves on 27th June, 2016, is heading for a time leap. Since all the characters in the lead cast would age post leap, Surbhi and Nakuul decided to exit instead of playing parents to actors of their age.
