Honestly, this is the reality of TV industry in India. Shows get pulled off air without any notice, especially if TRPs dip. It's not fair to the actors who invest months or years. Sumbul is talented - she deserves better stability. But her message about accepting endings is mature. 🙏

I'm from Canada and I discovered Imlie during lockdown - it was such a beautiful show! Sumbul's acting was incredible. It's sad how abruptly Indian TV shows end compared to Western series which usually get a proper finale. But kudos to her for handling it with grace. 😊

Bigg Boss 16 made her a household name, but I always knew her from Jodha Akbar! She's been working since childhood - that takes real dedication. Her journey from child artist to lead actress is inspiring. Hope she gets more opportunities in OTT platforms now. 🙌

"Everything eventually comes to an end" - such a life lesson! But honestly, Indian TV channels need to treat actors better. Shows like Imlie had a huge fanbase, ending it abruptly hurts both cast and audience. Still, Sumbul's positivity is contagious. Stay strong girl! 🌸
