Adaa Khan isn’t being replaced on Colors’ Sitara

Rumours have been doing the rounds lately that television actress Adaa Khan, who plays the female lead on Colors’ supernatural series, Vish Ya Amrit: Sitara, might be replaced as the makers are not happy with her output.

However, sources close to the show inform an entertainment portal that reports claiming her being replaced on the show are baseless. The actress is very much a part of the series and will continue playing the lead role till the time it lasts.


But the ones who follow the show closely feel that the screenplay does seem to suggest her exit. “Yes, this might be an attempt to create more drama, but very soon things will be back to even keel,” a source reveals.

The source further adds, “You can’t pin the blame for a weak storyline on actors and let’s face it, Adaa is a huge name.”

Sitara has faced several issues of late. In the past few weeks, many actors have been asked to bow out of the show. If sources are to be believed, it is nearing its end soon.

Colors has pulled the plug on several shows lately. Recently, it axed another supernatural series, Tantra. We hear that Rashmi Sharma Telefilms’ Roop is also set to bid adieu in some weeks.
