Anshu-
I am not so sure abt behind the scenes
But still- Mohnish refused to shoot with kritika- he was really uncomfortable -he told himself abt this in an interview-
before the shoot started he agreed everything and knew how the story is going to progress- but later he thought this role is not for him-
not ready to do romantic scenes-but the story needed romantic scenes - SR etc etc-
slowly their shots got separated-
no long shots - only close ups- kritika adjusted a lot-
but wht happened was the fans just refused to understand- they bashed sharad
and as far i know the makers planned the show with kritika as the lead and then fixed the rest of the cast- it was role tailor made for her-
