It’s heartbreaking and I felt bad when we were informed that 'DTHHJ' will go off air. I had quite a few offers, but I chose this show, so it’s disheartening when the unexpected happens. However, I would like to believe that this has happened for the better. However, now I won’t join any show midway.” She even added saying that, "However, the industry is unpredictable and so is the fate of TV shows. People started appreciating my bond with the kid and my chemistry with Rocky (Ansh Bagri), they decided to end the show. I haven’t been given any reason for its abrupt ending. They should have ideally given me some more time to establish myself.
