One of the most-watched Tamil serials is undoubtedly, Sembaruthi that is being aired in Zee Tamil since 2017 and managed to garner a huge fanbase for the serial especially for the lead roles - Karthik and Shabana.
Karthik Raj who was seen as Aadhi and Shabana Shajahan as Parvathi won million hearts with their amazing performances and chemistry in the serial. But, for a quite some time now, it was being speculated that Karthi would be replaced by another actor soon!
Looks like now, it has turned out to be true as Zee Tamil has come forward with a statement, clarifying what happened, “Dear Viewers, Zee Tamil channel takes this opportunity to thank each one of you for your continuous patronage in making our shows a grand success. We take this opportunity to appreciate the dedication and hard work of Mr Karthik Raj who has immensely contributed to the success of the program, Sembaruthi. While we are happy to have been associated with Mr. Karthik Raj, due to unforeseen reasons he will be replaced in the program. His association with Zee Tamil and Zee 5 will continue in future. We wish him all success & good luck in his career.”
His onscreen pair, Shabana shared, “Karthik Raj, I couldn't resist myself posting this picture! It was hurtful when I come to know this is the last scene we are acting together! Thanks for being a great co-actor and a great friend! I will miss u for sure. But apart from all that! We know wherever you go, u will be the star. Best wishes for your career! I wish to work with you again in future.” We need to wait and watch to know who would be replacing this character!
