Gumrah update: Abhay Deol out; Karanvir Bohra in

In an unusual but enriching kind of development, TV star Karanvir Bohra has gone on to replace Bollywood star Abhay Deol as the face of Channel V’s Gumrah.

The show produced by Balaji Telefilms had Karan Kundra hosting the first three seasons before Abhay entered the picture. And now Karanvir Bohra (who is seen mesmerizing viewers in Qubool Hai) will take the show forward.

KVB, the new host, has already started shooting and from what we hear, the makers and channel seem to be quite impressed by his work.

Shares a source from the production, “Although Abhay was a good choice, he did not connect with the TV audience. The channel thus wanted a popular and strong personality. That is when we thought of Karanvir.”

We tried reaching Karanvir but he was busy shooting. Although he shared his excitement on Twitter:

Good news for my #bratpacks…. Your buddy boy #KVB is going to be the new face of @Vgumrah
