The second season of Star Plus’ Ishqbaaz saw some huge changes in terms of the cast. Barring Nakuul Mehta, the entire cast quit the show and a new lead was brought opposite Nakuul Mehta. Actress Manjiri Pupala, a well-known face in the Marathi entertainment industry, was roped in to play ACP Aditi, opposite Shivaansh Singh Oberoi. However, all too soon, there were rumours of the actress being replaced. Manjiri Pupala: ’It Gives Me a Great Sense of Pride to Be Playing Aditi’s Character Since She Is Strong Headed and a Determined Woman'

These rumours were soon squashed and it was reported that the makers were auditioning for another actress and that Manjiri’s character was not going to be written out of the show. However, that’s exactly what has happened. Manjiri will no longer be a part of the show. Who Is Manjiri Pupala?

Only this morning, SpotboyE had mentioned about how Manjiri had not been shooting for the past 15 days.

And now, a source close to the show tells us, "Yes, Manjiri is not shooting for Ishqbaaaz currently. She chose to walk out of the show and there seems to be no scope of her return in the near future." Despite our multiple attempts to get in touch with Manjiri, the actress is yet to revert to our text messages or calls.

The show recently welcomed Niti Taylor as Mannat Kaur Khurana, opposite Nakuul Mehta's character Shivaansh Singh Oberoi. And their story too has taken the 'unwanted' marriage turn.
