It's been a week that Ekta Kapoor's show Dil Hi Toh Hai has gone on air. Now, Poonam Dhillon, who was roped in to play the male lead Karan Kundra's mother, has walked out of the show. 

"I have quit the show, as the storyline wasn’t going the way I thought," Poonam told Hindustan Times. He added, "I was told my character will be a central one and a linear track with my character will play out but that’s not happening, right now. They have deviated from it and moved on to the love story of the leads. It wasn’t gratifying for me to continue." 

"I thought it is best to leave before the show makes too much headway and my exit disrupts the story and the team a lot. When you do television, your whole life comes to a standstill, so unless the work excites you, it is not worth it. As my role wasn’t a central one in the story, waiting six to seven hours sometimes for a shot didn’t work for me," added the actor. 

"I felt it is really not something that will make me happy. I would like to do a role that is more gratifying. Even if I am working 12 hours a day, I want to be working, not sitting in my room for eight hours waiting for my shot. Doing TV means, for the next one year I would be committed to it. It was better that I leave," she added and signed off. 

Poonam was last seen in TV show Ekk Nayi Pehchaan.
