Avinash Mishra has replaced Ritvik Arora as Kunal in the show Yeh Rishtey Hain Pyaar Ke. Avinash has already begun shooting with the cast. In an exclusive chat, we asked Avinash on comparisons that will happen, working with Shaheer Sheikh, Kaveri Priyam and Rhea Sharma along with the cast. He also opened up on how did he come on board for the show. Avinash will be paired alongside Kaveri on the show. Over to him:

How did you come on board for YRHPK?

I was in my hometown and I got a call from creatives and they told me about the role. I knew the show is already a bit hit and the character is big, I crave for these kinds of shows where there is a scope to perform, where there is a love angle with Kuhu, and bond with two mothers, as an actor the role fascinated me and hence, I said yes. Then I came to Mumbai and did some mock shoots and they liked it. That's how I got on board.Advertisement

Fans will definitely make comparisons with Ritvik. Did the thought cross your mind while signing the show?

As an actor, I should not look at it as a replacement, I look at it as a new role, new opportunity and I am focusing on that. I know comparisons will happen because that is a natural thing. Fans are attached to a character and someone gets replaced, that character is loved by the audience, but I am okay with comparisons. I am here to perform. I never thought like that to take up the first offer I get post lockdown. I actually got a lot of offers from other shows but this was something which excited me as an actor, where I get to perform. It is very difficult to get a character where we get to perform, also, it is Rajan Sir's show and he is the only one managing to run shows for years. This character gave me a kick so I said yes.

How was your first day on set? Bond with everyone?Advertisement

I was really surprised because everyone was very sweet. Kaveri is sweet, she helped me out with a few scenes and made me understand each character. Shaheer bhai is so humble, we gelled up well, in the very first episode you will see the bromance thing, and some senior actors were there who gave me a warm welcome. I feel very lucky to have such a cast.

I know, when I met Shaheer Bhai, I knew him from Mahabharat, he was very humble. When I discussed a scene with him, he helped me out. I did not feel left out even for a minute. They supported me throughout. Everyone on the set was helpful. There is a family scene on my first day and they accepted me wholeheartedly. Firstly, I was a little nervous thinking I am joining an already established cast but their welcome eased me out.

Shaheer Sheikh and Rhea Sharma starrer Yeh Rishtey Hai Pyaar Ke is one of the most loved shows. It is the spin-off show of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. It was recently reported that Ritvik Arora who played Kunal Rajvansh in the show will be replaced by Avinash Mishra. Ritvik was not keen to resume the shoot amidst the coronavirus scare. Producer Rajan Shahi had confirmed that he is out of the show because of his unprofessional behaviour. Avinash will now play Kunal Rajvansh and will be paired opposite Kaveri Priyam who plays Kuhu. Kaveri Priyam in an interview with Tellychakkar said that Avinash is working hard to be perfect as Kunal and also spoke about the pressure of building chemistry with Avinash all over again.

She said, "Avinash is very inclined and focused on working hard towards perfecting the portrayal of Kunal’s character. We have done mock shoots and I have seen his work; he is working dedicatedly to ace the character. One of the best factors about working in YRHPK is that there’s a lot of team work involved. The entire team is working towards getting the chemistry right. We’re all helping and supporting Avinash for the character. I’m hoping to get accepted by the audience, maybe, it will take some time but I’m sure they will accept it. I would like to request all the viewers to watch the show and accept the change, although I understand the fans’ sentiments about being attached to a particular actor, the couple and character. But having said that, I hope they embrace the change and be positive about KuKu (Kunal & Kuhu)."

She was also asked if she will miss her co-star and friend Ritvik Arora. Kaveri Priyam said, "Of course, we shot for so long together and had a comfort level and bond. Not only me, but the entire cast is missing him but I try to be more practical in situations like these and accept the same. Rather than dwelling on Rithvik’s exit, I would like to focus on building chemistry with Avinash."

Avinash Mishra and Ritvik Arora

A few days ago producer Rajan Shahi told us exclusively that he was looking for a replacement for Ritvik Arora, who played Kunal Rajvansh in his show ‘Yeh Rishtey Hain Pyaar Ke’. While producer Rajan Shahi says he is no longer a part of the show because of his unprofessional behaviour, Ritvik insists that he hasn’t been able to resume the shoot owing to the COVID-19 situation. Now, we have learnt that the makers have found their replacement. Actor Avinash Mishra, who has featured in shows such as ‘Ishqbaaaz’, ‘Mariam Khan - Reporting Live’, and catapulted to fame as Shantanu Mazumdar in ‘Yeh Teri Galiyan’, has been finalised to step into Ritvik’s shoes.

A source associated with the project says, “A lot of actors, including Rohit Purohit and Abhishek Malik were approached for the part. However, the makers have finalised Avinash to play the new Kunal.”

We tried to reach Avinash for comment, but he asked us to call him later. Rajan, too, didn’t respond to our text message.

Earlier, in an exclusive interview with Bombay Times, Rajan had said, “A few weeks ago our supervising producer Vivek Jain called Ritvik. He said he could start shooting from July 1, but we should first speak to his father. That itself was unprofessional because he’s the actor, who has signed a contract with us. Yet, Vivek called his father, who asked for a raise in his remuneration, almost double of what he was being paid, and also a minimum 25-day work guarantee. What’s really wrong is the way he communicated it saying, ‘Don’t even think of calling back if you want to negotiate’. After this, Vivek reached out to Ritvik again, and even this time, he told us to speak to his father. When they were asked to send an e-mail on this, they started dilly-dallying. A few days later, Ritvik’s father started sending apology messages for laying down those conditions and tried to blame things on the COVID-19 situation. However, we have a record of all communication exchanged.”

According to Ritvik, COVID-19 is the main reason why he isn’t returning to Mumbai from Delhi. He had told us, “My uncle passed away recently because of coronavirus, so obviously, everyone in my family is worried. Then we learnt about actor Parth Samthaan testing positive, which further fuelled our apprehensions. I first received a call from Rajan Sir in May, asking me when I would be able to resume the shoot. I informed him about my uncle passing away and said that I needed some time. I asked my father to take the communication ahead with the production house, as I was deeply affected by my uncle’s death. A few days later, Vivekji called me, and I told my father to talk to him and decide whether I should go to Mumbai to shoot. I didn’t know about the conversation that transpired between my father and them. After I learnt about it, I told my father that he was wrong in asking for a pay hike. However, he didn’t ask them to double my money, he asked for a minor hike thinking that it would serve as a deterrent and they wouldn’t call me to Mumbai. He called them several times to clear the air, but our calls went unanswered. I then asked him to apologise through messages and on mail. This is a case of miscommunication and misunderstanding.”
