Kunal Thakkur enters Bandini as Khemi's husband...

Kunal Thakkur who was last seen in Zee TV's Pavitra Rishta will be soon entering Balaji Telefilms' show on NDTV Imagine, Bandini.

For the uninitiated, Kunal who entered Zee TV's Pavitra Rishta as Varsha aka Priya Marathe's boss was later replaced by Amit Sareen. We had then reported that the reason for this change was that Kunal looked too young to play the boss.

According to our source, "Ekta Kapoor had personally chosen Kunal Thakkur to play the role of the boss in Pavitra Rishta. However, when things did not work out there, she had promised him a meaty role in some other serial. As a result of this, Kunal will now be seen in Imagine's Bandini as husband of Khemi (Leena Jhumani)".

The present track in Bandini revolves around the sacrifices that the sisters Santo (Aasiya Kazi) and Khemi (Leena Jhumani) are trying to make for one another. While Santo has decided to move away from Dharamraj Mahiavanshi (Ronit Roy), so that Khemi is no longer the Massi of Hiten (Mrinal Jain), Khemi has gone a step ahead in marrying the person who saves her from an accident.

As per our source, "In the last few episodes that were aired, it was revealed that Khemi has married a guy who saved her from a bus accident. However, the entry of the character will happen now".

We called up Kunal Thakkur who confirmed the same and said, "Yes, I play the character of Arjun who is Khemi's husband. I am starting shoot from today, and my entry sequence will be aired coming Monday. I will be seen in a new avatar, and mine will be a long running role".

Our source further hints, "Khemi and Arjun will now come and stay in Dharamraj's house, which will give rise to many a high points in the show. Also, there is a back story related to Arjun that will unfold in the near future".

Well, there is lots to look forward to in Bandini right now!!
