Comedy Nights Bachao 2: Amruta Khanvilkar OUT, Anita Hassanandani IN!
After Ssharad Malhotra, Amruta Khanvilkar exits Comedy Nights Bachao Taaza
Amruta Khanvilkar and Manan Desai, who joined season two of Comedy Nights Bachao a month ago, are reportedly being replaced by the original duo, Anita Hassanandani and Puja Banerjee. It's being said that the new faces were finding it difficult to build a rapport with the audience. A report in a leading daily suggests that Anita and Puja have been brought back on popular demand. They had developed a style of their own during the first season which was liked by the audience. The new cast apparently failed to strike a chord with its viewers which affected the TRPs. Amruta confirmed the news and told the daily, "The decision has been taken as the ratings of the show dipped. With a large team, it often gets difficult to hold the interest of the audience. The makers have been honest by telling us that they will be getting the old team back."
Earlier, Ssharad Malhotra and Sumeet Vyas had been replaced with Mubeen Saudagar and Karan Wahi. Ssharad, who plays the male lead in Kasam Tere Pyar Ki, quit Comedy Nights Bachao Taaza barely a month after its launch as he was not able to juggle two shows at a time."I just couldn't manage the shoot of the daily soap and comedy show, simultaneously. There were date issues, too, as I play the hero in Kasam', which is a male-centric show. It was good to try comedy for the first time and I would love to head back to the genre in the future," he said in a statement.
While Ssharad and Amruta have already left the show, it still remains to be seen how long will Mona, Aditi and Nia be able to sustain. It is also to be seen how Anita manages time for her super hit show Yeh Hai Mohabbatein and the newly revamped Comedy Nights Tazaa. Anita is currently in Australia shooting for Yeh Hai Mohabbatein and we are informed that she may be seen less in the show after the current track in the show. Yeh Hai Mohabbatein will certainly miss Shagun's spicy presence in the show but it can be a blessing in disguise for Anita as she can solely focus on her new signed up show, Comedy Nights Tazaa for some time.
What do you think about this change ? Will Anita Hassanandani be able to bring back the show's lost glory.
