The actress has for the first time opened up about her exit from the show years after fans demanded answers.<!-- --> Ohanna, who enjoyed a massive fan following for her on-screen chemistry with co-star <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/karan-singh-grover\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Karan Singh Grover<\/a>, was later replaced by Sukirti Kandpal and subsequently by <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/jennifer-winget\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jennifer Winget<\/a> in the role of Dr. Riddhima.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"7\"\/>Speaking candidly, the actress claimed she did not quit the show voluntarily. &#8220;I did not leave the show. I was indirectly made to quit,&#8221; Ohanna said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"9\"\/>She recalled an incident during the shoot of the Zara Touch Me song. &#8220;It was 12 at night, way past pack-up time, when the executive producer asked me to hand over the keys of my makeup room because they wanted to shift me to another one. <!-- -->I told him I had my personal belongings in the room and I was in the middle of a shot. It was absolutely absurd to ask me to shift at that time.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>According to Ohanna, the argument escalated. &#8220;I said, &#8216;If I\u2019m going to be treated this way after working day and night, I might as well leave the show.&#8217; And the executive producer replied, &#8216;Okay, leave then.'&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>She added that she reached out to producer Siddharth P Malhotra. &#8220;I called up Siddharth and told him what happened, but he didn\u2019t care. He said, &#8216;You can leave the show, no big deal. Artists keep changing.&#8217; He didn\u2019t even bother to apologise.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>The actress said self-respect was the reason behind her decision. &#8220;For me, self-respect is extremely important. I can\u2019t be in an environment where I am not respected, especially when I am giving 100%.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>However, Ohanna clarified that she bears no grudges. &#8220;Anyways, I have no hard feelings towards him. I barely know Siddharth P Malhotra. <!-- -->I wish him all the best in life.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>Concluding, she said, &#8220;So I hope I have cleared the air, and now everyone knows the truth \u2014 a gist of the situation.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/>Dill Mill Gayye remains one of Indian television\u2019s most loved medical dramas, and Ohanna\u2019s exit as Dr. Riddhima continues to be a talking point among fans even years later.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/tv\/news\/hindi\/exclusive-ohanna-shivanand-aka-shilpa-anand-reveals-why-she-quit-dill-mill-gayye-says-she-was-indirectly-made-to-leave-by-the-shows-producer-siddharth-p-malhotra\/articleshow\/133378998.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ohanna Shivanand, previously known as Shilpa Anand is best remembered for playing Dr. Riddhima Gupta in the hit medical drama Dill Mil Gaye.
