Raqesh Vashisth replaces Karan Singh Grover in Zee TVs Qubool Hai?

The names that were tossed in the air as the probable replacement to play the role of Asad were Gurmeet Choudhary, Barun Sobti, Kushal Tandon and Mishal Raheja.

We have already mentioned that Gurmeet and Barun have signed another 4 Lions Films project for Star Plus.

Kushal, as he shared with us, is not interested to take up television projects immediately after Bigg Boss, and Mishal seemed to have said "no" to the offer.

Thus, our source has said that actor Raqesh Vashisth has been finalised as the replacement of Karan.

"Yes, he is the one. The decision is final and was taken today," said a source.

Raqesh is currently seen in Nach Baliye (Star Plus) with wife Ridhi. Raqesh's last stint in fiction space was Hongey Juda Na Hum on Sony TV.

We texted Raqesh for a confirmation but he did not revert till the time of filing the article.

Channel spokesperson denied the development.
