This news came as a shock when another report came that a new face Manjiri Pupala will be playing the actor's love interest that got mixed reactions from the fans.
The show began with a new storyline and with Nakuul playing the role of Shivaansh (Shivaay and Anika's son) while Manjiri played the role of ACP Aditi Deshmukh.
