Disha Vakani to Hina Khan, TV characters that were never replaced after they quit the show

There are some actors who own their character like no other and become synonymous to it. The audience refuses to accept or imagine any other actor playing that particular role. Therefore, there are many television actors that were never replaced on the show despite quitting the show. Replacements are common but Disha Vakani, Hina Khan as Dayaben and Akshara were never replaced. Let's take a look at some more names: (Photo: Instagram)

It has been more than 3 years since Disha Vakani went on maternity leave, and never returned. Her character of Dayaben is a unique one and is extremely loved by the audience. Reports about her return keep cropping up almost every time, and the producers have to come onboard to clarify it.

The first season was loved by everyone and in the second season of Sanjivani, Mohnish Bahl reprised the role of Dr Shashank Gupta. However, due to creative differences, he quit the show. "When this show started in August 2019, my track was going well, but things changed later. I discussed it with the makers and we tried exploring new angles, but they didn’t materialise. An actor can creatively enhance his character if there is clarity in the track or if he is given the script much in advance, which unfortunately was not the case," told Mohnish. His character died on the show. (Photo: Instagram)
