Avinash Sachdev aka Dev of Zee TV's Chhoti Bahu has put on about 9 KGs to bring about a difference in the new Dev..

It seems that Avinash Sachdev aka Dev of Zee TV's Chhoti Bahu is trying his level best to make his character look different in Season 2.The latest we hear is that the tall and lanky Avinash has in fact put on weight for the show..

A source informed us that Avinash had gained around 9 KGs of weight to bring about a difference in the present character of Dev with the previous one in Chhoti Bahu-Sindoor Bin Suhagan.

In a face to face conversation with TellyBuzz, Avinash confirmed, "Yes, I have gained almost around 9 K.Gs of weight but I want my audience to notice it, as I have done this just for the show. I don't want the audience to draw similarities".

"If viewers say that there is nothing different in Chhoti Bahu 1 and 2, all our efforts will be in vain. There is a difference to even the Dev-Radhika chemistry, and we have brought it back to life in a different way", adds Avinash.

When asked Avinash about the manner in which he put on weight, he said "I gained all the weight within 25 days when I was in U.S. I was literally harping on sweets, ice creams, cheese varieties etc. I had an intake of about 8 meals a day and the weather in U.S helped me to put on the weight. After coming back to India I toned down my body to shape it with exercise".

Get ready to see your favorite Dev in his new avatar..

Glad that there is a real effort to make the two shows different. I really do believe that the story of choti bahu 1 is over. Want a fresh new start!! Want to see rubi's character really be strong and spunky ...

Thanks for the article Viprakshi.

Good to know that Avinash is trying his best. Personally I do not except any slacking from him. So was not surprised with his efforts. Anyway the actors were not the problem with series one.... it was the creative team, both channel and the PH. So hoping that with the change in "look ", this time they came with a strong script that contains good and logical tracks, strong characterisation and no ping ponging of the story or the characters.

Since the makers want the audience to treat CB2 as a new show then should I take the amma appearing in CB2 as a rumour or is her "look" also been changed. Hopefully the creatives and the PH+channel have thought carefully about this issue and have weighed the pros and cons carefully before coming to any decision.

Anyway, all the best to the cast and crew of CB2.
