AfIt is often seen that it takes time for actors to fit into another actor's shoes and the comparison becomes inevitable. The plight is now shared by Vikas Sethi who is trying to carve his niche in Manoj Bohra's well essayed role of Prerna's spoilt brat Prem in Kasautii Zindagi Kay.

Sources say that the TRP's haven't improved and the reason spotted was that Vikas was not well accepted as Prem.

Here is Vikas' version. "Primarily we are two very different actors. In a class of 40 students it is unfair to expect everyone to be at par. I don't know whether I am going up or down. But I am going to do it my way. I am not Manoj Bohra, I am Vikas Sethi"

Sethi is receiving flak from the channel and the production house for attempting to imitate Manoj Bohra's hip hop mannerism for the role of Prem. He has now been asked to develop his own style.

However Vikas disapproves of the same, stating that he is not simulating Bohra in the first place, "I am not imitating, but I can't certainly lose the basic character of Prem. So we will hold the essence and not change it drastically, it's not possible."

The fact seems different from the attempts but we hope that he makes a distinct look for us to forget Manoj Prem Bohra.

Manoj Bohra primarily imitated Johnny Depp's character from the Pirates of the Carribean series... Was just watching the movie yesterday and realised that... 😳
It's exactly the same!

Vikas Sethi as Prem/UD... Not happenning... 👎🏼 He's still having that Abhir hangover... 😕

Yeah Manoj Bohra imitated Johnny Depp he said in an interview that he loved his style

I don't think Vikas suits the role of Prem

aww i feel bad for him but yea he sucks as prem but u gotta give him credit at least he is trying instead of discarding the niche that manoj created he understands that he can not just change prem and u know what i dont think its because of him that the trps went down its just because most ppl only watched that show for manoj and with him gone its inevitable that the trps will fall they cant blame vikas for that

thanx 4 the article 😊
As a matter of fact, i dont think anyone would be able to step into Manoj's shoes. I like vikas too, but he will take some time to get used to Prem and for us to accept him. No doubt, he is a very good actor, and so is Manoj. But each one is different and talented in their own way. just as it wud be awkward to c sm1 else as Abhir, it is the same with Prem. I agree with Vikas, he is not Manoj Bohra

Thanks for the article and Vikas is right he's no Manoj and i dont see him as Prem/UD either there is only one Prem/UD and that was portrayed flawlessly by Manoj, we'll never forget him and always see him as our true Prem/UD 😳
