Ritvik played lead in color channel and serial ran pretty good times as well. Not sure what made him to sign this one. Might be channel/PH and their parental show success.
Well, I really interested to know how much Shaheer paid in Indo than how many days he stays. It seems his 2 serials are in air in Indo but no one has any interest in that and all do some stupidity and gets huge and easy money. He has great back up in Indo which is not less than any big achievement and has always place for him.
Actually, I don't understand his decision either considering he was coming off a hit show where he was the sole lead. Everyone knows that YRKKH is never able to do justice to any characters apart from Kaira. The casualties of this approach include Kanchi Singh (Gayu), Rohan Mehra and Rishi Dev (Naksh), Parul Chauhan etc.
The issue is that big actors aka the ones used to lead roles are roped in for secondary characters and that becomes a problem later when they become dissatisfied with their characters' screen space and storylines. Maybe they are assured of meaty parts and lured by that, they sign on for the show but these promises never materialise. 🤷♀️ Speculating since this has happened multiple times.
IDK how Ritwik will deal with it because Kunal has very little screen space and more importantly, no solid storyline. Maybe he is okay with being the secondary lead but let's see what happens.
