Hiten Tejwani in ................

Meet Nimmo's new lover boy...

Hiten Tejwani replaces Cezanne Khan as the man in Nimmo's life

Reena Thapar Kapoor

After Cezanne Khan opted out of Kya Hoga Nimmo Ka, Balaji Telefilms had been under a lot of stress to find his replacement on the show. But finally the soap factory has zeroed in on their blue-eyed-boy Hiten Tejwani to play Nimmo's love interest, Kunal.

This will make it Tejwani's fourth show with Balaji. (The other three being Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Kavyanjali and Kesar where his track is over) The association has certainly worked in Tejwani's favour as it was Ekta Kapoor herself who recommended him for the role. Confirming the news, Tejwani says, "I'm supposed to sign the contract today. I was always game for playing Kunal in Kya Hoga… but was waiting for the confirmation. Since they have made an official announcement about me being a part of the show, I guess I am on."

Apart from Hiten, Mohit Malik (from Palkhee) has also been roped in to essay Vikrant's role in Kya Hoga… "I've played a small part in Palkhee but this will be the first time that I'd be doing a full fledged role in a show. I'm looking forward to it," smiles Mohit. The model-turned-actor has endorsed various products in the past. It's only been a year since I came from Delhi. The minute I landed here, I knew I'd work with Balaji some day. But didn't know it would happen so soon." Mohit adds that he has already informed the makers of Palkhee about being unavailable. "We're scheduled to start shooting from December 7. I'm willing to work 24/7 for the show because it is just the beginning of my career. Anyway my role in Palkhee had almost ended. So, I'm all for Balaji now."
