Tujhse Hai Raabta’s Reem Shaikh aka Kalyani confirms quitting the show; says ‘It was not an easy decision for me’

Tujhse Hai Raabta’s Reem Shaikh, who became a household name as Kalyani, has decided to quit the show. The actress entertained one and all with her acting skills and her chemistry with on-screen husband Sehban Azim was much loved by the audience. However, the actress has decided to part ways due to personal reasons. She confirmed the news to ETimes TV. Reem has put down her papers and is currently serving the notice period.
Confirming the news, Reem shared, “Yes, I have decided to move on because of some personal reasons and also because I want to explore my options. It has been a successful two years with the Tujhse Hai Raabta team and it is with a very heavy heart that I have taken this decision and I hope my fans keep supporting me. I just felt that this is the right time for me to challenge myself as an artist and experiment. I am very passionate about my work and hope good work finds me again. Nonetheless, I have been blessed with the best cast and it was not an easy decision, for sure.”
Recently in an interview, Reem had shared how she got along with Sehban, “It did take us time to be comfortable around each other, but once we bonded, there was no looking back. In fact, I remember one day while we were shooting, Sehban had a camera in his hand and he was clicking things around him. He even clicked a picture of me and when I saw the picture, I simply loved the way he captured me. There was an essence of candidness to the shot and I knew that instant that he is great with photography, and like every other girl, I too love being clicked. Ever since, I knew I could bother Sehban whenever I felt like getting clicked.”
The daily soap recently took a leap and the actress was playing the role of an IAS officer in the show. The actress shared a great rapport with her co-stars and even during the lockdown they managed to stay connected through video calls.
