Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin Cast Shake-Up: After Vaibhavi Hankare, Sanam Johar Exits the Show?

Published on

The popular Hindi television drama “Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin” (GHKPM), airing on Star Plus, is reportedly undergoing another major cast change. Just days after actress Vaibhavi Hankare (who played the role of Savi) bid farewell to the show, it now appears that Sanam Johar, who plays a pivotal supporting role, has also wrapped up his journey with the series.

Rumors about Sanam’s exit were fueled after the actor posted a behind-the-scenes clip from the set, accompanied by what many are interpreting as a farewell message.

Sanam Johar’s Emotional Instagram Story: “Last Day on Set”

In a series of posts shared on his Instagram Stories, Sanam Johar offered fans a glimpse of his final day on the GHKPM set. The videos and photos featured the cast and crew, candid moments in his costume, and a caption that read:

“What a journey this has been. Grateful. Emotional. Thank you for all the love.”

While there has been no official announcement from the show’s producers, nor a formal confirmation from Sanam himself, the post has left fans speculating about his exit from the show.

Who Is Sanam Johar? Role in Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin

Sanam Johar, known for his work as a dancer, choreographer, and actor, has built a significant fan base over the years through reality shows like Dance India DanceJhalak Dikhhla Jaa, and Nach Baliye. His addition to GHKPM brought new energy and fan attention, especially from audiences already familiar with his television presence.

Though not the central lead, his character was well-received for its emotional depth and connection with the lead storyline.

Vaibhavi Hankare’s Exit Confirmed Earlier This Week

Sanam’s speculated departure follows the confirmed exit of Vaibhavi Hankare, who portrayed Savi Chavan, one of the show’s key characters. Her character arc concluded with a dramatic twist, and the actress also took to social media to express gratitude to the fans, production team, and her co-stars.

This dual exit has sparked speculations about a storyline shift or time leap in the making, as often seen in long-running Indian serials.

Fans React: Shock, Support, and Speculation

News of both Vaibhavi and Sanam leaving the show has led to a wave of reactions on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram. Fan clubs, entertainment pages, and loyal viewers are now discussing possible reasons for the sudden exits.

Some Popular Theories Circulating Online:

  • new storyline or leap that doesn’t include their characters

  • Creative differences or contractual issues

  • Upcoming replacement or recasting announcements

Hashtags like #SanamJohar#GHKPM, and #VaibhaviHankare began trending in India, with fans expressing both sadness and curiosity about the show’s future.

Producers and Channel Remain Silent

As of now, Star Plus and the production house (Cockcrow Entertainment and Shaika Films) have not issued any official statement regarding these cast changes. The lack of confirmation or denial has only added to the buzz and mystery surrounding the changes.

Entertainment journalists are attempting to reach out to sources close to the show, but insiders have declined to comment, citing “creative confidentiality”.

Recent Developments in GHKPM Storyline

“Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin” has seen multiple leaps, love triangles, and family drama arcs since its premiere in October 2020. The show continues to draw a strong TRP, especially in urban markets.

Key Storyline Arcs in Recent Months:

  • Savi’s struggle for independence

  • Emerging romance angles

  • The return of older characters and introduction of new antagonists

  • Family conflicts and generational rifts

Given these plot shifts, the exit of main characters could suggest an impending reboot or a new chapter in the series.

A Look Back: When Other Stars Exited GHKPM

Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin has had its fair share of casting churn over the years. Notable past exits include:

  • Neil Bhatt, who played Virat, the male lead

  • Aishwarya Sharma, his real-life wife, who played Pakhi

  • Ayesha Singh, who portrayed Sai Joshi

These exits were followed by major time leaps and new character arcs, reshaping the show’s narrative. If current reports hold true, Sanam Johar’s departure may mark another turning point.

Quick Facts:

  • Launched: October 2020

  • Airs on: Star Plus

  • Streaming on: Disney+ Hotstar

  • Genre: Romantic drama, family drama

Why Such Exits Matter in Long-Running Shows

  • Disrupt storyline continuity

  • Lead to ratings dip (if replacements don’t work)

The balance between freshness and familiarity is delicate, and the success of GHKPM’s next chapters may depend on how smoothly these transitions are executed.

What Lies Ahead for GHKPM?

If confirmed, the exits of Sanam Johar and Vaibhavi Hankare would mark a significant reshuffle. There is growing speculation about:

  • Introduction of new characters

  • A possible seasonal reboot or generational leap

  • New romantic leads or parallel tracks

Viewers can expect some big announcements in the upcoming episodes or through official teasers released by Star Plus.

  • Track Instagram and X accounts of the cast

  • Use hashtags like #GHKPM and #SanamJohar to join discussions

While Sanam Johar’s recent post strongly hints at an exit from Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin, fans will have to wait for an official confirmation. With Vaibhavi Hankare’s confirmed departure and now this potential cast change, the show may be heading into a new creative phase.
