Why Did Kushal Tandon Exit Kumkum Bhagya?

On the other hand, audiences are wondering why Kushal left Kumkum Bhagya. According to earlier reports, the actor denied the project due to health issues. However, according to the latest update, Kushal left the show because he asked for holidays on weekends, but the production house didn’t agree to this.

Kumkum Bhagya casts Abrar Qazi as Rajvansh and Rachi Sharma as Purvi. Currently, the show chronicles the love story of RV and Purvi. Purvi’s pregnancy brings happiness in the house, while Monisha plans to kill Purvi in front of everyone without leaving a trace that she did it all.
