Not all production houses succumb to the usual tactics of replacing their existing leads, when they are left with no other option. Zee TV's Sinndoor certainly falls under this category. We will soon see Gurdip Kohli's exit from this daily show, but instead of replacing her, Aashka Goradia will be introduced as a new character. Aashka will make an entry as a parallel lead along with Kirti Kelkar. Kinnari Mehta, producer, Jai Mehta Productions, affirms, "Yes, Aashka has joined in. She plays Arpita, a character which is very close to Tabu's role in Viraasat. Though we have never worked with her earlier, she was the one who suited this role the most." On being asked about Gurdip's exit she says, "Well, she will die a natural death but I am not saying that it's her exit." Kinnari believes that the story had to move on as Gurdip had requested for a month long leave. "She is getting hitched this December, so for a month it would have been extremely difficult to adjust without her so we thought of changing the current track," adds Kinnari. Aashka will be seen tying knot to Dhruv played by Sachin Shroff. However she has no clue about the developments in her life otherwise. "Yes I will be doing Sinndoor. I am entering as a lead and will start shooting from next week. As far as Akela and Kahiin Toh Hoga are concerned I am not aware of what is happening with them." Gurdip Kohli rubbishes rumours of quitting the series and calls it a temporary exit. "It's because of my marriage that I will have to take a leave and the show must go on. And that is the very reason of roping in another lead." Gurdeep and beau Arjun will be shown voted out from Nach Baliye 2 tonight. The actor is now gearing up for the wild card round on Nach Baliye 2. "Yes, that's like a lifeline, we both are charged up for it." Considering it a temporary exit from Gurdip's side, Aashka can be termed as a permanent saviour, keeping Kahiin Toh Hoga in mind!
