Ankit Narang replaces Aditya Kapadia as Khush in Sony TV’s Bade Achhe Lagte Hain

Seems like characters on Sony Entertainment Television’s Bade Achhe Lagte Hain (Balaji Telefilms) are jinxed. Just when an actor starts getting comfortable in his/her role, zoop comes the replacement news.

Yes, another replacement is on the cards after Fenil Umrigar was replaced for Pihu’s role. And this time the axe has fallen on Aditya , who played the good boy Khush in the show. And the actor who will step into his shoes is talented Ankit Narang, who was last seen as the errant son of Manav and Archana- Soham in Zee TV’s Pavitra Rishta (also produced by Balaji).

A source informs us, “With the track focusing on Khush, the production house thought they needed a more mature actor and someone who can look good opposite Suhani (Ekta Kaul).”

To refresh our viewers’ memory, Khush who has been brought up by Ram (Ram Kapoor) and has values like him is in love with Suhani. And the girl being in love with Sammy (Yuvraj Thakur) who does not want to marry her, will have Khush supporting and marrying her.

“Now Aditya looked really young compared to Ekta and their romantic scenes would have definitely looked stupid. And this is when the creatives decided on the change,” adds the source.

Said Aditya: “Well, this has been mutually decided by both of us so there are surely no hard feelings. I was narrated something very different but it did not turn out that way, so there was no fun doing it anymore and so I thought of calling it quits rather staying here.”

And what about the age factor him being paired opposite Ekta? “Well, that is also a point and I think this decision will work in favour of both the parties. I will now like to go out on a vacation and just chill after working so hard this long.”

Ankit remained unavailable for comment.
