Pearl, who played the main lead in Balaji Telefilms' Naagin 4, was rumoured to be seen next in this popular show. But SpotboyE.com has it that these are mere rumours and no one has been approached yet to play the character.

A source informs the portal, "Makers are still trying to hold back Parth and discussions are on between both the parties. They haven't approached any actor to play his part yet."

The portal further reported that Pearl has not been approached and currently, he is in Mussoorie for a personal trip.

Talking about actors quitting the show, along with Parth Samthaan, his co-star friend Sahil Anand has also announced his decision of opting out from the ongoing show. Though Sahil's reason for leaving the show is yet not revealed. Parth, on the other hand, is said to have bagged a Bollywood project and wants to focus on it.
