In her latest vlog, Jheel said, "Oh my God, the number of people who think that I was fired because of my height from the show is just outrageous. No no no. One, I was not fired from the show, and two, I quit the show because I had to focus on my studies. I just wanted to focus on my studies. Why is it so difficult for people to understand that? I don't get it."

The former actress revealed that the year when she decided to quit the show was the year when she was in her 10th grade and she wanted to focus on her studies.

Obviously, I had spent so much time with everybody and I kind of grew up on the show that you all saw. So, it was a little sad and difficult when I did leave the show because we used to meet so often for shooting and then suddenly it stopped. So, it was bittersweet because it was my decision and my choice that I made because I wanted to study.”
