Patiala Babes: Paridhi Sharma and Aniruddh Dave’s characters AXED overnight; Here’s why

Sony TV’s Patiala Babes has been one of the popular shows which has often grabbed the headlines for its interesting storyline and twists. Besides, its lead characters Babita (played by Paridhi Sharma), Mini (played by Ashnoor Kaur) and Hanuman Singh (played by Aniruddh Dave) has also become a household name. And while the audience has loved their onscreen camaraderie, it is reported that the lead cast of Patiala Babes will soon witness a massive change. According to the recent buzz, Paridhi and Aniruddh’s characters have been axed overnight. Reportedly, the makers took the decision after they decided to throw a five-year leap in the story.

The media reports suggested the development came as a shock to both Paridhi and Aniruddh as their characters were axed without any intimation from the makers. Confirming the news of her exit, Paridhi stated that while she was informed about the new development on Tuesday, she was also planning to quit Patiala Babes. In her interaction with Bombay Times, the actress stated that she was not happy with the way her character was shaping up on the show and is glad that she isn’t a part of the leap.

“I wasn’t satisfied with the way my track was shaping up. It started off as a strong and inspiring character, but the storyline digressed and my character started slipping around two months ago. I never wanted to play mother to a teenager, but I took up the show for my role. I am glad that I am not a part of the leap, as there was nothing in it for me to explore. Had they not decided to end my track, I would have exited the show myself. It’s just that it has happened the other way around,” Paridhi was quoted saying.

On the other hand, Aniruddh took the decision quite positively and was happy with his journey on Patiala Babes. He stated, "I believe that every show goes through a change after it reaches a saturation point. I am happy that my character Hanuman Singh was loved, as he was someone who believed in women’s equality and rights."

Interestingly, this isn’t the first time that a character was axed overnight from the show. Earlier, Hunar Hale, who played the role of Meeta in Patiala Babes, also faced a similar situation after the character was removed abruptly.

If the media reports are to be believed, post the five-year leap, Patiala Babes will focus on Mini and her struggles with life. We wonder if the makers will be able to maintain the charm of the show post the exit of its two important characters.
