Hero No. 10 for Qubool Hai: Qubool Hai does it again! Breaking their own record of numerous replacements, new characters and seasons, the production house has now roped another male lead. Avinash Sachdev is hero number 10; his predecessors being Karan Singh Grover, Rishab Sinha, Vikrant Massey, Raqesh Vashisht, Karanvir Bohra, Shehzad Sheikh, Varun Toorkey, Rajbeer Singh and Ankit Raaj. The actor, who was last seen in Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?... Ek Baar Phir, will be seen opposite protagonist Surbhi Jyoti. "My first question to them was why the show has had so many male leads," he says, adding, "I took my time, but eventually accepted it as a challenge. I realised that some of them were really good and had to leave for various reasons. Besides, the show airs at 7.30 pm; one of my longest-running shows, Chhoti Bahu was in the same time slot. They have told me that they will revamp the story. It's a nice character. Fortunately, I won't be shown possessing supernatural powers like the current male lead. It will be a love story now; a new story with the same title. I have earlier taken the risk of shooting a show for which the title was decided later (Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?). At least in this show, I know the title right from the beginning." When asked if the show has run its course, Avinash disagrees, "That can't hold true for a daily soap. It's all about the script and chemistry between the lead couple. If the audience likes a track, the show runs for years. On the other hand, even if multiple tracks and twists don't work in a show, it doesn't last." Incidentally, Rajbeer has been retained in the show.
