Jasmin Bhasin bids adieu to her popular show Dil Toh Happy Hai Ji

Popular television actress Jasmin Bhasin, who has been a part of in several successful shows in the past including Tashan-e-Ishq and Dil Se Dil Tak, has quit her ongoing show Dil Toh Happy Hai Ji. The soap opera, which hit the small screen on 15th January, 2019, was launched with much fanfare. However, it always remained low on numbers and failed to draw desired TRP for Star Plus.

In a bid to improve TRPs, the makers were set to introduce a generation leap on the show, something which did not go down well with the female lead Jasmin Bhasin who has now put her papers down. Apparently, Bhasin was uncomfortable bonding with a child in on the show and hence, she decided to bid adieu.

Confirming the development, producer Gul Khan told media, “Jasmin was not okay bonding with a child in the show. Even though she had agreed on the storyline, on scenes level she was uncomfortable. We do not want any actor to be uncomfortable or unhappy while shooting. So we amicably parted ways. We wish her all the best.”

Jasmin Bhasin, who started her career as a model, made her silver screen debut with Tamil film Veenam (2015). She later went on to feature in several South Indian movies including Karodpathi (2014), Veta (2014), and Ladies & Gentlemen (2015). In 2015, she was roped in as the female lead for a ZEE TV show called Tashan-E-Ishq and since then there has been no looking back.

We are sure that her fans are going to miss her a lot after her exit from Dil Toh Happy Hai Ji. Produced by 4 Lions Films and Invictus T Mediaworks, the show also features Ansh Bagri, Rohit Purohit and Donal Bisht in lead roles.
