In December 2013, the makers of the show asked Grover to leave the show citing alleged unprofessional behaviour and lack of commitment towards the show.[109][110] Grover stated that he completed the length of time with the show that he had promised and that could file a defamation case over the statements that had been made about him.[111]

In 2013[112][113][114] and in 2015[115][115][116] the Broadcasting Content Complaints Council required the broadcaster to run notices across the screen because of scenes of torture and excessive violence against women that were aired on the show.

He confirmed with The Times Of India, "I had a meeting with the production house recently and they convinced me to stay back."[129] Finally he decided to stay as the lead in the show.[130][131] Before Bohra decided to return to the show, actor Harshad Chopra was approached to replace him but he was dropped from the show on Additi Gupta's behest.[132]

Reception

The show gained popularity pretty early becoming the number 2 show of Indian Television.[133] The chemistry between the lead couple pulled in the TRPS.[134] The show also won many awards in 2013 including Best Show and Best Actor at Indian Television Academy Awards.[135][136] However in late December 2013, when Karan Singh Grover left the show Shraddha Bhandari, writing for CNN-IBN in December 2013, stated that Qubool Hai was typical of "All serials start off brilliantly with immense promise and somewhere in the middle they get lost in the maze of TRPs, cheap publicity and making what sells."Bhandari had appreciated that when the series had started, "Zoya Farooqui was a jeans wearing, very modern women, raised in the US, yet very close to her culture and roots. The story moved on with her clashes with the very orthodox, Asad Ahmed Khan and how she changed his conservative thinking and start of their love story." but stated that "the serial became lost in multitude of vamps, warring families, crude language and events that in real life are unfathomable."[137] After Karan Singh Grover was replaced by Raqesh Vashisth as "Asad Ahmed Khan"[138] the show received high level critical response up to the extent of Raqesh receiving hate mails.[139][140] These hate mails criticising him and his acting lowered Vashisth's morale.[141][142] The makers of the show decided to introduce a 22-year leap[143] in the series showcasing a new generation with Karanvir Bohra in the role of "Aahil Raza Ibrahim"[144][145] and Surbhi Jyoti as "Sanam Ahmed Khan", daughter of Asad and Zoya.[74][146] Neha Maheshwari, writing for Times of India in July 2014, stated that the show "has failed to impress the audience."[147][148] Later the couple gained good recognition[149][150] However the TRPS remained low.[127]
