After Karan Singh Grover, another actor has bid adieu to the show. Yes, you read that right! Another actor from Kasautii Zindagii Kay has quit the show owing to the COVID-19 scare. 

Wondering who this actor is? Well, it is none other than Kunal Thakur, who played the character of Kaushik (Anurag's nephew) has bid goodbye to the show. The actor is not keen to resume shoots amid the Coronavirus scare and does not wish to risk his health. He does not want to travel to work amid the COVID-19 crisis and thus decided to opt-out. According to media reports, newcomer  Akash Jagga will walk into Kunal's shoes and take over the character in the show.

Kunal shared the reason behind his decision to bid goodbye to Kasautii Zindagii Kay mid-way with the Times of India. He revealed that he had recently gone through a surgery owing to his wisdom tooth problems, and was under medication. The young actor said that his immunity has dropped due to his surgery. Moreover, as the monsoon season has begun, it would not be feasible for him to travel from his home in Madh Island to Andheri (on the sets) every day. 

The handsome actor shared, ' My area is a containment zone and I don’t have a driver who will take me to work every day. I am very new to the industry and I feel that I am not equipped to combat such a crisis while I am shooting. I would like to stay at home until the scare settles.' 

Not only Karan and Kunal, but some other major replacements have also taken place on the show. Sumaiyya Khan has been replaced by Tehseen Shah as Sneha, Ashish Bharadwaj replaced Amit Raghuvanshi in KZK. What are your thoughts on the same? Are you excited to see how AnuPre's story takes a turn now? Let us know in the comment section below.
