All the best to Avinash. He is a good actor and saw him in Ishqbaaz in a small role and his character ended abruptly. Hope he does well as Kunal. Let see how it goes!

Slot leader used to change every week. For him it was a demotion to choose second lead. Though dis show gave him more scope of performance.
Absolutely. I used to watch that serial, young and cute pair.. After certain initial weeks of this serial, i was always like why he signed this ? He is pretty young so still can wait and get better one.

Avinash is more experienced.He did 2 lead roles.His last show character Shantanu was loved & it was always slot leader.PH should have taken a newcomer .
I always had a feeling that Rtiwik would quit the show sooner or later. Just wish it hadn't happened the way it did. He was great as Kunal. The bromance will always be cherished. Considering how famous the replacement actor is, I hope he doesn't end up quitting the show too. Hopefully the makers give a proper track to Kuhu-Kunal which is engaging and adds to the overall flavour of the show and not just be side props in the family drama. Looking forward to the new Nanko :)
M I only one or Avinash looks like brother of zaheer iqbal
I used to follow him on tiktok bcz I found him good looking ❤️
Would love to see him here...
All the best to avi
IMHO being a parallel lead in YRHPK is a bigger deal than being a lead in a show like YTG. Can understand why Avinash would have looked at this as an excellent opportunity for him.
Avinash seems confident and has good screen presence. I think him and Kaveri would look great together. Hope Kunal and Kuhu get a well fleshed out track.
To the extent of my knowledge this issue was put forth by Rajan sir long back in June in Pink villa article.. That an actor from his team has been demanding double payment nd all nd also an SBS video abt it
There was ample time to rectify the matter before the shooting started.. Everyone was wondering who could be that person
Never expected it to be Ritvik.. He could have directly spoken to Rajan sir and amicably opted out nd nobody can compel to work under this pandemic condition
DKP too must have thought if Shivangi can travel from Dehradun, Quarantine nd resume shoot why not Ritvik
I think they too waited for a long time because they might have thought he will give them a date to resume
But since he was unsure of himself they had no option but to replace him as the story needs to proceed further
This happens in the entertainment industry if you don't comply with the contract they will be ruthless
It's easy to get a new person for a new character but to get a person for an established character who has a great connect with the audience is a challenge for the PH too
This must have irked the PH that they came out in public because they were also working with restricted conditions, other responsibilities like taking care of the health conditions which is a very big challenge, seeking sponsors, TRP race, working with limited staff nd rotation system so that each one gets a fair chance etc
Not in support of DKP but just a few cents on the challenges faced by any PH
Under normal circumstances they might have ignored but they must have made it public as a warning to the rest of the team so as to face the consequences.. May be an indirect hint
We seen each one of the cast coming out in open with their posts Chaitraliji, Sanjeev ji that is mamu nd were very appreciative of the efforts taken by DKP even Shah said in SBS interview that the PH is not only sticking to the SoPs but also doing much more than that
Everybody was feeling safe and happy with the arrangements
Ritvik could have also consulted Shah as they were close on how to go about this in a better way if at all he doesn't want to continue because more than Rithvik's Dad Shah cld have guided him better as a senior in the industry
Even In the ET interview Ritvik himself stated that he had asked to handle the issue by his dad and told that increase in the payment might be a detrimental factor to call him back which can be a wrong move
We have also come across Ritvik as a very mature person who handles even the awkward questions with grace in all his insta live sessions and his captions also display his sense of humor, apt timing and answers all the questions with a beautiful flow, clarity of thoughts.. A tough phase in his life with a wrong timing.. Everyone goes through one such phase at some point of time in life
Anyway we as viewers lost to see Ritvik as Nanko back with whom we shared many emotions
Hats off to Ritvik who did a phenomenal acting portraying various shades of Kunal with ease.. Take a bow Ritvik👏👏.. Will miss you as Kunal and the Abinal bonding too
Wishing him the very best for his future projects 👍❤️
@bold you have exactly worded my thoughts. Probably the PH might have wanted to set a precedent.
Also agree given the pressures owing to the present situation any employer would be annoyed with an employee giving them a hard time.
Wish things had not come down to this point.
