Barun Sobti to star opposite Priyanka Chahar Choudhary in Tere Ho Jaayein Hum after Ankit Gupta’s shocking exit?

In a major development for the fans, Barun Sobti is reportedly stepping in as the new lead of Tere Ho Jaayein Hum, replacing Ankit Gupta. This news comes shortly after Ankit announced his exit from the show. The shiw was supposed to reunite him on-screen with his Udaariyaan and Bigg Boss 16 co-star Priyanka Chahar Choudhary. His sudden withdrawal has sparked speculation about a possible fallout between him and Priyanka, but the focus has now shifted to Barun’s entry and how it will change the dynamics of the show.
According to the reports, Barun Sobti has been roped in as the male lead in Tere Ho Jaayein Hum, which is being produced by Ravi Dubey and Sargun Mehta under their banner Dreamiyata. While an official announcement is still awaited, fans are already excited about this unexpected pairing. Barun, best known for his role in Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?, has a massive fan following, and his intense screen presence is expected to bring a fresh dynamic to the show.
While fans were eagerly looking forward to seeing Priyanka and Ankit share the screen again, Ankit’s decision to step away has left many questions unanswered. Speaking to Bollywood Bubble, he confirmed his exit, saying, “I backed out of the project with Ravi-Sargun. I don’t think I would be able to commit to that project right now. Maybe I need some time for myself to rejuvenate and recharge. As I said, that’s probably why I won’t do Khatron Ke Khiladi this year either.I’m just taking time for myself, so I’m not thinking about work at the moment.”
While Ankit maintains that he simply needs a break, his exit has fueled ongoing breakup rumors with Priyanka. The two, who shared a strong bond in Bigg Boss 16, recently unfollowed each other on Instagram, leading fans to believe that something might have gone wrong between them.
With Ankit out of the picture, Priyanka will now be paired opposite Barun Sobti, marking their first collaboration. Fans are eager to see how their chemistry plays out on screen. Given Barun’s past performances, expectations are high, and the show could take an entirely new direction with him as the lead.
Priyanka and Ankit’s pairing in Udaariyaan was what fans loved and adored more than anything. Now, with Barun stepping in, it will be interesting to see if this new pairing can recreate the same magic.
