According to me inspite of all the petitions, calls and letter Barun has already quit...no, it is not a break...the lat time he took a break for his movie his body language was very different from what it is now...neither is he asking or telling his fans when he will be back or that he will be back...I think this is the official stand as of now...at least till the UK tour as there is a lot of money riding on it with ticket sales and sponsorships etc...now whether the circumstances in the PH and internal politics ( lots of versions abt Gul asking him to leave to the track being responsible etc etc...) or this is entirely his decision is not known ...so many versions and stories doing the rounds...but he was crying as she humiliated him sounds a bit far fetched to me...
So given the fact that he is leaving...I would personally want the show to end ...on a happy note after addressing all the loopholes...babuji getting better, anjali becoming independent maybe finding true love, Khushi starting her business maybe getting pregnant at the end...the raizadas to find out about the contract marriage esp dadi and how arnav and Khushi first meet and Arnavs role in driving her out of Lucknow...getting aranv and Khushi to talk abt their feelings for each other and how they developed so she realises how he did everything because he loved her...the night of Akash and Payal wedding he wanted to confess his feelings to her...the end should not be rushed...Barun can maybe finish and take a long break ...without any pressure and the rest of the actors can look for new projects...so maybe 2 months or something more which will allow for a fitting time to bid farewell for one of the most popular characters and shows in the last few years!
