Reports suggest that Surbhi decided to quit the show since Ishqbaaz will reportedly take a leap of a few years. After Surbhi, her co-star Nakuul Mehta might also follow suit in dropping out of the show as per reports. Sanaya Irani or Drashti Dhami might replace Surbhi in Ishqbaaz and will be cast opposite Nakuul if he continues.
