Jagtap to unite Naku and Dutta

Mohan Kapoor who played the lovable host of Saap Seedhi is back in a new avatar in Colors' Laagi Tujhse Lagan that will be instrumental in bringing together Nakusha (Mahhi Vij) and Dutta (Mishal Raheja).

The actor plays the vivacious bad guy who lives life in a jungle. He encounters Naku and Dutta when they get trapped there.

A little birdie tell us, "Mohan Kapoor essays the role of Jagtap. He is an alter ego of Dutta and he is not sacred of him at all. Initially he put Dutta into lot of problem, but the moment he gets  to know that Dutta and Naku are made for each he makes all big efforts to unite them. Jagtap will be shown living the life in jungle which is completely devoid of civilization. A back story will be revealed as to why he lives in the jungle, and this will actually be a link to his past memory."

The production house had brought in Mohan Kapoor to play a small cameo of only 3 episodes, but the latest is that he will be around till Dutta realizes the  importance of love and get closer to Naku.

When contacted Mohan Kapoor told us, "This is a fantastic role which revolves around the central character. I didn't want to take up any role that borders only on the periphery. Jagtap is eccentric but not evil. He lives in the jungle, away from all kind of civilization where there is no food, no people around and no comfort. However it is a mystery as to why he is leading such a life. When Dutta and Naku stumble upon him in jungle he will play an integral part in taking their relationship forward. However it is to be seen whether their relationship changes for the better or not."

We hear that Mohan Kapoor's character will be extended to nearly a week.
