Interview of Raqesh on replacing Karan Singh Grover and how KSG convinced him to take up the role of Asad in Qubool Hai .

Raqesh: Mei nehi chahta kisiko replace karna aur Karan is a very dear friend. Eventually Karan called me and he said, "kuch problems ki wajah se mei nehi kar pa raha hu. Toh obviously mujhe lagta hai ki tum sabse best fit hoge is role mei." Toh I think mujhe convince kya gaya hai.

Question: Kya kaha tha Karan ne jo aap convince finally huey? Because Karan told that, "I really convinced him", toh humein janna hai woh conversation.


Raqesh: Karan bola, "bhai, karle. Its a good role, meri kuch majburiya hai, mei nehi kar paa raha hu." He is not keeping well also.

Question: Ek responsibility hota hai kahi na kahi, logo ko lageka shayad Karan nehi hai, TRPs might drop, all that went through your mind?

Raqesh: Yes, for sure. Because, Karan has definitely made a bechmark. Playing Asad Ahmed Khan is really not easy. Bohot difficult hai woh role. And I think Karan did a fab job. Uske shows mei fit hona kisi bhi actor ke liye bohot mushkil hai, because audience really love him. In fact Karan ne bola bhi mujhe ki, "Agar tum karte ho woh role toh mei fans ko bolunga ki, unhone itna pyar diya woh ab tumhe de as Asad."

English translation

Raqesh: I didn't want to replace anyone and Karan is a dear friend. . Eventually Karan called me and he said, "For some problems I can't do the role. So, obviously I think you will be best fit in that role." So, I think I was convinced.

Question: What Karan said that you was convinced finally? Because Karan told that, "I really convinced him", so we want to know that conversation.

Raqesh: Karan said, "Bro, do it. Its a good role, I have some problems, I am not able to continue." He is not keeping well also.

Question: One responsibility is there somehow, people may think may be as Karan is not there, TRPs might drop, all that went through your mind?

Raqesh: Yes, for sure. Because, Karan has definitely made a bechmark. Playing Asad Ahmed Khan is really not easy. Very difficult is that role. And I think Karan did a fab job. Its very much tough for any actor to be fit in his shows. In fact Karan also told me that, "If you agree to do the role then I will tell the fans to give you the love that they used to shower to you as Asad."
