Hello everyone,

I don't know how many of you them know above the article, I don't know but I thing time has come to show to all.

Mishal Raheja aims higher

Mishal Raheja, of the sitcom Lagi Tujhse Lagan, talks about his ambitions and Datta Bhau in a candid chat with Mumbai Mirror...

Many would agree that Mishal Raheja aka Datta Bhau of the popular teleserial Laagi Tujhse Lagan, is the undisputed don of the small screen. But what most of us don't know is that Mishal is a man with high ambitions.

This intense actor who has won hearts with his hugely popular portrayal of the iconic Datta is actually aspiring quite high. "My aim has always been Bollywood and maybe even Hollywood," says Mishal, adding that his producers knew about this from day one.

With the possibility of the show wrapping up does he have Bollywood or other offers at hand? "No, right now I don't have anything at hand, though, there have been a couple of offers. But I am very patient and will wait for the right thing to come along. Playing Datta Bhau for so long has creatively exhausted me and I have been wanting to leave for a long time but my contract was extended. They have been very amicable. The show Lagi... is very close to my heart but I cannot drag a particular character for so long. I want to do something more and something new."

A few months back it was reported that the popularity and adulation achieved by Mishal, thanks to this serial, apparently went straight to his head and he began throwing tantrums.

Mishal, however, denies it all vehemently, "Visit my sets, meet the spot dadas, the technical crew and even the cleaning staff and you will know the truth. I share a beautiful rapport with the entire team and was shocked when that story surfaced."

Mishal clarifies saying that after his contract expired they requested him to continue for a few months and extended his contract. "I have worked very hard and everyone knows the kind of person that I am," he says.

Hemal Thakkar the producer of LTL says, "Whose rumour is it anyway? I really have nothing much to say about this. Our show is synonymous with Datta Bhau and he is an icon, a permanent character in our serial."

I think that might have been the reason, he might have quit the show on his own terms and he didn't balmed neither Channel nor PH anytime, even channel and production house didn't agreed that Mishal throwing tantrums stuff. MISHAL, CHANNEL AND PH have remind silent because it will affect very to Mishal also as he didn't retain in the show and viewers will think negative of him. CHANNEL AND PH remained silent because they knew Mishal already kept on informing on his exit.

Coming to DIGU character, it might be temporary as SHABBIR was busy with Guiness World record show, SA might have been their 1st choice replacement of Mishal(read one more article of SA in FEBRUARY which published) and even read Hemal statements above.
