Sharad Kelkar Replaces Mohnish Bahl… But Why Did He Leave…?

 

Mohnish Bahl & Sharad Kelkar

After Mohnish Bahl left the show, there were a lot of buzz about who will replace him as Dr. Ashutosh in the show. A number of names, including Anuj Saxena, Cezanne Khan, and Sharad Kelkar were discussed, but finally Sharad Kelkar was finalised to play the crucial role. In fact in the latest episode of the show Sharad has been shown as Dr. Ashutosh.

Now that one of the leads in the story has been replaced, it’ll be very interesting to see how the audience takes this change over the time. Initially however, as expected, the audience is feeling heart-broken about the replacement. KTLK’s writer, Kamlesh Pandey says “Exits and replacement are done things in daily soaps, both internationally and in India. It’s the story that drives the show and not actors. They bring their talent though they are visible part of the show”. Weather Kamlesh thinks the right way or not, only time can tell; but one must admit, the way Mohnish Bahl acted, the viewers, especially the serious ones, related themselves to him. They had discovered a real-life character in Dr. Ashutosh, and in real life, the whole personality of a person can not change like this.

Now coming to another point of discussion, which has also gathered a lot attention of the entertainment media, Why did Mohnish Bahl left the serial..?Mohnish Bahl is a renowned actor who has balanced his acting career between movies and daily soaps. He is not at all known for leaving a show mid-way. Then why did he do that..? Some say that there was a rift between the creative team of the show and him, while some others say that he was not comfortable shooting with Kritika Kamara. He himself and the channel says, his back pain was the only reason. However according to some media sources, his back pain was indeed a reason, but not the only reason. A number of factors led to the channel and Mr. Bahl arriving at a unanimous decision that Mr. Bahl will no longer work for the serial.

That's all for now ! But stay in touch. I’ll be posting even more interesting buzz & trivia about the show.

A SHOCKER: Mohnish Bahl Quits KTLK…

 

Mohnish Bahl as Dr Ashutosh

After a good news that KTLK will continue at its present time slot of 8 PM, here comes a bad news, in fact an utterly bad one for some. Actor Mohnish Bahl who is playing Dr. Ashutosh in the serial has left the serial. He and the Sony Channel have regarded his Back Pain as the reason. According to Sony TV’s Business Head Ms. Sneha Rajani, Mohnish’s doctors advised him to take rest, and in that case he would not be able to give his all to the show, show they agreed that Mohnish will quit.

But this is only what’s being officially said by the channel and Monish himself. Fact of the moment is that there is a buzz in the media that Mohnish quit the show because he was not very comfortable shooting with Kritika Kamara (Nidhi Verma in the serial). Well there seems to be some point in this, because many times earlier we have seen that in a number of scenes Mohnish Bahl and Kritika Kamara appeared in different frames.

Well now whatever the reason was, the story writers had to fit his exit in the story in such a way that the viewers don’t feel very unpleasant and, if possible, a new twist is brought in the story. For this Dr. Ashutosh had to die. Yes! believe me the central character of the story has died (may be temporarily, I mean he might be brought back with a plastic surgery or something like that.). But the biggest question is will the new actor who will don the hat of Dr Ashutosh be able get the support from the viewers ? Lets just wait & watch…

That's all for now ! But stay in touch. I’ll be posting even more interesting buzz & trivia about the show.
