Idk but whatever is it, it will be now even more hard to tolerate him if I rewatch OG Kyunki with him being there
They got him because they didn’t have a lot of actors around who could play a character in his 40s or 50s. Most people weren’t ready to age onscreen and off those that were - most were working on other Balaji shows already. Then there was the prices that had to be agreed upon. Ronit fit all the right boxes. Was old enough to play a dad, didn’t mind playing dad to grown ups, wasn’t asking for sky high prices and so he stuck.
As it is they knew after Amar everyone would fall short so that was also a factor. Most actors knew it was an iconic character and they’re bound to be compared with Amar. No one wanted to be a replacement as it is, but they definitely didn’t want to replace an iconic character because getting rejected would mean end of career. And I mean they weren’t wrong, look at Inder, the man who replaced Amar as Mihir before Ronit. His career was over in movies which is why he came to TV. Then he was replaced on TV within a few weeks too and then never seen again on anything as far as I know.
