Farhan Khan ‘axed’ from Sony TV’s Chhanchhan; Anuj Sachdeva roped in as replacement
Farhan Khan has been in the news ever since he stepped in as the lead guy, Manav, in the Sanaya Irani starrer on Sony Entertainment Television, Chhanchhan (Optimystix Productions). However, later things did not shape up as planned, and we were the first to report exclusively on the channel and production house being unhappy with the choice of lead and looking for a replacement.
Post this, some big names like Jay Bhanushali, Karan Kundra, Mohit Sehgal, Harshad Chopda were approached to play the role of Manav Borasagar. Recently, there was a buzz that Anuj Sachdeva might, in fact, bag the prized role.
We now hear that the ‘expected’ has indeed happened and Farhan Khan has been asked to move out of the show (two days back). He was cited the reason that the chemistry between him and Sanaya was not working. Having said that, Farhan had been putting his heart and soul in an attempt to get things right. He had even gone on record to deny media reports stating that ‘he is not getting replaced’.
Our source from the set of the show tells us that ever since reports of Farhan’s probable replacement started to pour in, Farhan had put in immense work, especially in scenes with Sanaya Irani. However, the fact was that Sanaya was never comfortable with him, and made it quite visible on screen. And this ultimately sowed the seed to the ‘replacement’ idea.
The latest from the set of Chhanchhan is that Anuj Sachdeva has started shooting from today (5 June 2013).
We tried calling Anuj Sachdeva, and also dropped a text message to Producer Vipul Shah and Sneha Rajani, Business Head, Sony Entertainment Television, but they did not revert.
Our efforts to get in touch with Sanaya too proved futile.
While our heart goes out to the debutant Farhan for getting a raw deal in Chhanchhan, we wish Anuj Sachdeva all the very best. As they say, the show must go on…

June 06, 07:08Anuj Sachdeva ??? don’t know if he could save the show and bring TRP rating up. Mohit Sehgal is 100 percent perfect man to save the show and bring your TRP rating to nuclear explosion
Khushi
June 06, 06:31STOP PASSING THE BLAME VIPUL SHAH, SANAYA IRANI IS THE BEST AND SHE DIDN’T LOOK UNCOMFORTABLE WITH FARHAN KHAN, IT’S FARHAN KHAN ACTING THAT RUINED THE SHOW. WHY DON’T YOU VIPUL SHAH TAKE A LOOK AT THE COMMENTS AND 99 PERCENT OF THEM GOT PUT OFF BY FARAH KHAN ACTING, GET THAT INTO YOUR THICK SCULL DUMBO. IF YOU GOT MOHIT SEHGAL IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A HIT SHOW, BUT YOU TOO STUPID TO KNOW THAT.

June 06, 06:20Bring Anuj is still walking on thin ice, if you wanted to rescue the Chhan Chhan show then it would have been obvious to bring Mohit Sehgal, looks like Vipul Shah would never learn from his mistakes
Danny

Neema
June 06, 06:00No we don’t want Barun Sobti back because he let us down before and we don’t trust him. Best to get Mohit Sehgal to be with Sanaya Irani and we all think that is the best jodi on screen and out
Nishan
June 06, 06:13We don’t want Barun Sobti never again after what he did in our best IPKKND show and we still miss it now and we wanted IPKKND with Mohit or Harshad to be ASR with Khushi. Please bring Mohit Sehgal or Harshad Chopra or Arjun Bijlani, these three are the best option to replace Farhan Khan but doubt that this new Anuj would secede
meera
June 06, 06:24No Barun Sobti and Sanaya Irani jodi is history and we don’t like Barun Sobti to ruin our Sanaya Irani again. We want Mohit Sehgal or Harshad Chopra to replace Farhan Khan but we will see how this Anuj Sachdeva does.
Ali
June 06, 06:42What is wrong with you arshi are you abit slow in the head, don’t you remember what happen in IPKKND show. Barun Sobti turn his back to his fans, when they were crying out to him to return to IPKKND show he didn’t give a damn about his fans he got what he wanted, his a user. We don’t like Barun Sobti and we love Sanaya Irani don’t bring her into tears again by bringing Barun back he would just quit on her and his fans again, his unpredictable and untrustworthy, JUST STAY OUT FOREVER!. We want Mohit Sehgal who would be the best choice
Susan
June 06, 06:59Never Again we want Barun Sobti, please don’t, this Barun Sobti has got his fame, only from IPKKND show and he was a nobody before that, he used us and let us down. We lost our best show (IPKKND. If Barun Sobti wanted to quit then his fans would end the show again, not having that again. We wanted IPKKND show to continue with Mohit Sehgal or Harshad Chopra but no Barun’s fans had to end it because Barun Sobti quitted. NO MORE BARUN SOBTI THEN OUR BEST SHOW WOULD BE SAVE.
Sonia
June 06, 07:12PLEASE DON’T MENTION BARUN SOBTI NAME AND WE DON’T WANT THIS JODI TO HAPPEN AFTER WHAT BARUN AND HIS FANS DID TO OUR IPKKND SHOW. WE WANT ONLY MOHIT SEHGAL OR HARSHAD CHOPRA TO REPLACE FARHAN KHAN AND THIS ANUJ SACHDEVA LET SEE IF HE CAN SAVE THE SHOW THEN
Shruthi
June 05, 11:23ALL THE BEST chanchan for ur future LOW trps …..sure gona pay for farhan’s replacement
Barun lover
June 05, 09:30so does that mean that the upcoming epins will have anuj instead of farhan!!! lets hope it works out well!!! Frankly…… Mohit would have been the best with snaya from all the others…..
Arjun Rampal
June 06, 05:53Agree with you Barun lover Mohit Sehgal would have been the best choice for Sanaya Irani, hey whats wrong with these guys. Oh well lets see if this Anuj saves the show, We doubt it. Feel sorry for Farhan Khan but let face it he was poor in acting and needed alot of improving but Sanaya Irani never look uncomfortable with Farhan Khan, it’s just passing the blame on Sanaya and must be Vipul Shah doing because his is totally Vipul Shah fault from the very beginning. Vipul Shah should accept his mistake and really Sony TV should kick him out
Manju
June 06, 05:58Like your comment and Arjun let’s see what happens. Would have love to watch the show if Mohit Sehgal or Harshad Chopra was to jodi with Sanaya Irani, but we give this Anuj a trial and if he fails, they should end the Chhan Chhan show and get back IPKKND show with Mohit Sehgal or Harshad Chopra to be ASR with Sanaya Irani as beautiful Khushi
AJ
June 06, 06:02Should have got Mohit Sehgal, then we IPKKND fans would have watch the show but we give this guy Anuj a week
Ranbir
June 06, 06:08Yeah we want Mohit Sehgal to be the one to replace Farhan Khan, hey VIPUL SHAH WAKE UP DUMMY?
AK47
June 06, 06:16Bring in Mohit Sehgal if you want to save Chhan Chhan show and if Anuj fails, that’s it the show would end but if you got Mohit Sehgal is guarantee the show would be saved and TRP rating would shoot sky high
MJHT
June 06, 06:34LOVE MOHIT SEHGAL AND SANAYA IRANI JODI IN MJHT AS SAMRAT AND GUNJAN. WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS JODI IN IPKKND SHOW, MOHIT AS ASR AND KHUSHI. CHHAN CHHAN IS A SINKING SHIP AND TO SAVE IT YOU NEED SOMEONE LIKE MOHIT SEHGAL, BECAUSE THE JODI WOULD MAKE THE SHOW A MEGA HIT
Farhan
June 06, 06:50Feel for Farhan Khan but he had to be replace but not sure if Anuj fits the bill, we would have been much more happier if Mohit Sehgal was chosen, but we’ll see how this Anuj does but we are glad that they didn’t get Barun Sobti because don’t like this guy because he got his fame through IPKKND show and quitted, let us fans down and this guy just used us like a stepping stone. Never would want this Barun Sobti back in any show or we would end them
Vijay Patel
June 06, 07:05Barun Lover are you a barun fan?, but you seem to be intelligent because you believe Mohit Sehgal would be best for Sanaya Irani and you are not wrong. We want Sanaya Irani to fulfilled the 3 year show and that’s Mohit Sehgal he would be perfect because Barun Sobti is unpredictable and untrustworthy and we don’t want the BIG RISK AGAIN
