Mihir Mishra - the first choice for Abhi

Well, I didnt know this and trust many may not know it. Came across this article and since then have been thanking god for his kripa on us:

Bet you didn't know this. Mihir Mishra, the handsome Rahul in Sanjivani-A Medical Boon, was the first choice to play Niki Aneja Walia's lover in Astitva-Ek Prem Kahani. Last time we spoke, he confirmed the buzz: "I was on the verge of signing Astitva-Ek Prem Kahani when Sanjivani-A Medical Boon happened." To each his own, but I think that Niki is more attractive than Gurdeep Kohli. Mihir needn't agree. And you don't have to let your imagination run wild to guess why either.
