Amit replaces Gourav on RKD

He had just begun to relish the flavour of success, but destiny wanted it otherwise! Gourav Chanana known from the Sanjeevini days, has moved out of Rishton Ki Dor (RKD) on Sony. And to everyone's surprise Amit Sarin of Kkussum fame will be replacing him.

Gourav who will soon bid adieu to the show asserts it was a decision taken by both, the channel and him. Says he, "They are planning to change the track in which my character will not be that prominent. So they asked me whether I wanted to continue or walk out, I settled on the latter."

Gourav confirms that he didn't have a falling out with the channel, "There were no dilemmas at all, and in fact I am very lucky that I was a part of the show. Sony has been very sweet to me," he says.

Knowing the other side of the story, Amit has no qualms about replacing Gourav on the show, and believes that a decision like this depends on a person's perception. "Yes, I will be entering the on going track of the show, and I have no issues. I signed on because I like the character of Rahul Raichand," says Amit. He will soon start shooting for the afternoon series.

Amit was last seen in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, but opted out before the leap. On being asked about missing the show, he says, "Well, Kyunki… was an inevitable part of me, and was extremely important for my career. Though I have no regrets of opting out, I will definitely miss it. Balaji will always be special to me."

And about his singing career, which was more or less a pleasant surprise, he states "Well, as of now that is limited to my bedroom!"
