MUMBAI: Ishqbaaaz will enter its new phase starting 17th December, following which the entire current star cast will not be part of the show. The fans are already very disappointed with this move given the memories the show has instilled in each of them.

It is rare that a show manages to bring to life characters that are loved and adored immensely to the level of madness, and Ishqbaaaz is one such show.

If Shivaay’s character made fans go weak on their knees, Anika’s michmichi language made them laugh. The rest of the characters also managed to make a space for themselves.

Nakuul, who lived this character for so many years, will soon be bidding farewell to the character that not only won him several awards as a performer but also made him a television icon.

Nakuul shared a heartbreaking post as an ode to Shivaay and the Ishqbaaaz team, touching our hearts in many ways. He wrote, ‘Dear Shivaay, I have lived you along with the rest of the country for the past 900 days. Another couple weeks to celebrate this most special journey. Tried to find words to express what it meant to be consumed by you ...’

Dear Shivaay,

I have lived you along with the rest of the country for the past 900 days. Another couple weeks to celebrate this most special journey. Tried to find words to express what it meant to be consumed by you ...#Ishqbaaaz pic.twitter.com/wvXvb5hwn2
