TV actor Saumya Tandon is no longer a part of ‘Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hain’. The actor has decided to quit the show after working in it for five years. Saumya was one of the popular female faces on the show, and the only popular female face from the show after Shilpa Shinde quit the show within a year (2016).
Saumya said, “It’s been a great journey with Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain, everything in life has a time and place. I have done this character for 5 years and I didn’t see myself doing it for many more years. So, I decided not to renew my contract and it was a pre-determined decision. Now, it is time for me to move on to newer challenges and take more risks. I have a great rapport with my producers. It has got nothing to do with money. I am going on a good note.”
About her character, she said, “My character Anita is the modern age television heroine, who has a soft heart but strong will. It is very nice to see this kind of heroines being written in Indian television because usually television heroines are very goody-two-shoes. I am glad that people gave so much love to it. I explored this genre of comedy where it is spontaneous and natural rather than making loud faces. I explored a lot of things that I had not done earlier. My cup is all full and ready to take the next leap in life.”
As per a report in ABP Live, there has been quite some buzz regarding Saumya planning to quit the show due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent pay cut, however, the actor had earlier refuted the rumours.

Talking about the rumours of her entering Bigg Boss 14, Tandon told India TV that she is still exploring options and is not joining the reality show Bigg Boss 14 as speculated earlier. Buzz had it that Saumya planned to quit the show to join Bigg Boss.
