Busy body: Rohit Roy

The news that Amar Upadhyay secured a role in Balaji's Kasautii Zindagi Kay (Star Plus) is old. However, little does anyone know that the original choice for the role was Rohit Roy.

Roy who's currently seen in Sarrkkar (Zee) as Karan Pratap Singh was the first choice for the role now essayed by Upadhyay. If that had worked out he would be playing brother to his real life sibling Ronit Roy for a second time. Confirming this Roy says, "Yes I was approached for the role."

Explaining why he didn't do the role he said, "There were a couple of things that didn't work out. I didn't have the requisite dates and another was the money offered."

Balaji Telefilm's head honcho Ekta Kapoor however maintains, "We had some issues with the dates. It isn't anything major. I look forward to working with him in the future."

Sources close to Roy say that the actor is currently having talks with Ekta and discussing other possibilities.

A cautious Roy while not denying this, said,"I think it's too premature to reveal anything about the discussion. All I can say is that both of us are keen to work with each other and in the future something may be worked out."

Roy has earlier worked with Balaji on Kkusum, where he played the lead role of Abhay Kapoor now played by Anuj Saxena.

These days the actor is busy shooting for Zee's Sarrkkar, Dance Divas on Zoom and he will also appear on the big screen in Ek Hasina Ek Khiladi with Fardeen and Koena Mitra.

hey bhagwan!!!! I think Ekta has some jaani dushmani with me!!! Pehle i have to bear Anurag in KZK and now one of the actors i hate the most,Amar "yuck" Upadhyay is also comin in the show???? WHY WHY WHY???? Since he's Rishu's bro saare scenes usi ke saath honge.!!!!!!!! MAin mar jaaongi!! Kitna torture sahu?????😡😡

waise tryin to rope in Rohit seems to be a calculated effort to try to get a Sarkarr ka actor in the serial!!! Very chalu Ms. Ekta!! When sarkarr timin clashed she made a big deal out of it...now she's tryin to get Rohit in KZK too!!
