Shabir Ahluwalia's latest show titled Pyaar Ka Pehla Naam Radha Mohan begins today, i.e, Monday, May 2 on Zee TV.

Now, in an interview with India Forums, Shabir has revealed that he was trolled by his fans for quitting Kumkum Bhagya for the new show. "Everybody has opinions and I respect that. My fans are used to seeing me in a particular way and a particular character and I have received so much love from all of them over all these years, so this reaction is bound to happen", the actor said in the interview.

Shabir further requested his fans to not troll him as he continued, "It is all their love that they keep sending in different forms through social media. I'd like to tell them that I really love them, but please keep it easy with the trolling." The actor further added that he misses being a part of Kumkum Bhagya.

"I was as disappointed with quitting Kumkum Bhagya as my fans were since the show was very close to my heart too. I miss the show as much as they miss it, I miss being a part of the show, I really love the cast and crew of Kumkum Bhagya and I am really close to all of them, especially Sriti and Arjit and I miss seeing them every day", the actor told the media portal.
