Hussain to replace Eijaz Khan in GR of DPL.. TB

Hussain Kuwajerwala replaces Eijaz Khan as the host of a new dance show on TV

Hussain Kuwajerwala & Eijaz Khan

Eijaz Khan is out of the TV show Dance Premiere League and has been replaced by Hussain Kuwajerwala as the host with Sara Khan.

Eijaz had shot only four episodes when the channel realised that another host might not be such a bad idea. A source says, "When Eijaz was chosen for the audition rounds, the channel had figured then that the show could have done with a better host. He was also not well received by the audience on the show. Finally, the channel decided to replace him with Hussain, who was a livewire in most of the shows he had hosted earlier. Besides, Eijaz was also being high-handed."

The channel is tight-lipped about the replacement as Eijaz is doing another show for them, Bhaskar Bharti. The marketing head of the channel was hesitant when asked to confirm the story. "We are trying to sort out the issues involved," he said. On being probed further, he said, "Hussain will host the gala rounds."

Eijaz said, "Please don't give me stress in Canada. I did how much I was supposed to do for DPL. Now, I'm shooting for Tannu Weds Mannu from October 14. Sorry to break your illusion about a spicy replacement."

Despite sending text messages, Hussain remained unavailable for comment.
