Balika Vadhu 2: Sejal aka Shiju Kataria Takes A Huge Step; Quits The Show Because Of This Reason – DEETS INSIDE

With its fascinating storyline, nail-biting surprises, and more, Balika Vadhu 2 has become a household franchise. Apart from Anandi and Jigar, Sejal called Shiju Kataria has captured hearts onscreen with her maternal love and care. Now comes the breaking news that Sejal aka Shiju Kataria has left the show and will not be reprising her role after the leap. When asked about it, Shiju said that she made the conscious decision to leave the program because the leap will bring in an older generation, and she was uncomfortable playing a mother to co-stars who were close to her age.

Even while she was first chosen Sejal she was told that the leap would take a long time. For the next 2-3 years, Anandi and Jigar would remain Sherya and Vansh, but the transition was abrupt, and new characters with a completely different storyline were created. Hence she decided to stop playing Sejal after the leap. Adding to it, she said that, now it’s completely wrapped up. It’s been a fantastic ride, but it’s finally come to an end. The show is very much alive, and that her character will be portrayed by someone else who is more fit for the role.
