Actress Ohanna Shivanand, known for her role as Dr. Riddhima Gupta in the popular medical drama Dill Mil Gaye, has recently revealed the circumstances surrounding her departure from the show. Despite a strong fan base and a notable on-screen connection with co-star Karan Singh Grover, Ohanna was ultimately replaced by Sukirti Kandpal and later Jennifer Winget in the role of Dr. Riddhima.
In a candid interview, Ohanna firmly stated that she did not leave the show willingly. She recounted an incident that occurred late at night during the filming of the Zara Touch Me song. The executive producer demanded that she relinquish the keys to her makeup room, which was still in use, as they intended to move her to a new location.
Ohanna protested, asserting that she had personal belongings in the room and was in the midst of a scene. The confrontation escalated, with Ohanna expressing her frustration and declaring that she might as well quit the show if she was being treated so poorly after working tirelessly.
Ohanna turned to producer Siddharth P Malhotra, who responded dismissively, telling her that leaving the show would be no big deal and that artists are constantly changing. Ohanna's decision was rooted in her self-respect, as she refused to work in an environment where she felt disrespected, even if she was putting forth her best effort. However, Ohanna emphasized that she harbors no ill will towards Malhotra, stating that they barely know each other and wishing him well in life.
Ultimately, Ohanna hopes to have cleared the air regarding her exit from the show, shedding light on the truth behind her departure from Dr. Riddhima's character. Dill Mill Gayye continues to be a beloved medical drama, with Ohanna's sudden exit remaining a topic of discussion among fans even years after it took place.
