Exclusive! Abrar Qazi reveals why he agreed to be a part of Yeh Hai Chahatein even post a 20-year leap

Abrar Qazi and Sargun Kaur Luthra's Yeh Hai Chahatein is all set to take a 20-year leap and the actor reveals how he wanted to quit the show because of the leap. But he stayed back eventually.

Abrar says, "The show has taken many time leaps, so that was not new for me. But this is a big leap and I would have to age on screen and play father to a grown-up. I was not ready for it and wanted to quit. But then the makers told me that I would play Rudra's son, and so I agreed. I am hoping that the new twist will continue to connect with viewers."

Generation leaps have often helped bring in some freshness, which has made it more interesting for viewers. But at times, new tracks have also not worked and shows have shut.

Abrar agrees with this and adds, "For actors too it is a new challenge. Viewers have loved Rudra and Preesha so far, now it will be a new challenge for us because we will be playing different characters. But that's how TV works. I am aware that some shows have wrapped up soon after generation leaps. I am hoping that this new twist will be engaging for the audience."

Abrar and Sargun's characters will die in the show and Abrar will play their grown-up son. Both characters will have a different look in the show post the leap.
