“Signing off as Annika with gratitude and affection. I promise to be back with a bang and entertain you all in a new avatar very soon. Just keep loving me, I’ll keep loving you and the rest will fall in place❤ *Part 2 to follow,” read one of her tweets.

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.
