During a chat with the Times of India she said, “(August 21) is my last day of the shoot. Finally, people can stop speculating whether I will continue on the show or not. Revealing why she decided to bid goodbye to the comedy-drama at a time when actors are rueing because of lack of work, the actress said that it can be said that it is an impractical decision to quit a stable job, especially a well-known show. However, she has realized that being employed and earning a regular income wasn’t exciting enough for her anymore. She added that she wants to do projects that offer a scope of growth for her as an artist and an entertainer.
Some time ago there was news that Saumya’s hair dresser has been tested positive with COVID-19. In her statement, Saumya said that she admits that she was anxious after her hairdresser tested COVID-19 positive, and she didn’t want to put her elderly mother and one-and-a-half-year-old son at risk.
Earlier, several media reports surfaced stating that Bigg Boss 13 fame Shefali Jariwala would replace Saumya on the show. It is yet to be known who will step in her shoes.
