Saurabh Pandey who essayed the role of Shivam, the loyal lover of Pakhi (Leena Jumani) in Sahara One's Ganga Kii Dheej will no more be part of the show!!

As per our source, "Saurabh who was casted in the show as the main lead has left the show after getting the consent of the production house and channel. During the launch, he was promised that his character will be one of the main leads but with time, the pairing of Agantuk (Mohit Raina) and Pakhi got more preference. With Shivam's character being sidelined, there was nothing interesting happening and thus Saurabh preferred to exit from Ganga Kii Dheej".

We hear that Shivam's track will end with him sacrificing his love; he will be shown returning to Kolkata.

When contacted, Saurabh confirmed this news, "Yes, it is true that I am not part of Ganga Kii Dheej anymore. It was a mutual decision taken between me and the production house. My character was sidelined and there was nothing much to do".

Saurabh is presently looking for a challenging role, and we wish him all the very best..
