Popular
TV
actor
Anuj
Sachdeva,
who
has
stepped
in
the
shoes
of
fellow
Farhan
Khan
in
daily
soap
Chhanchhan
as
a
replacement,
says
he
was
in
two
minds
initially
to
accept
the
show.
Anuj
is
known
for
his
role
in
TV
serials
like
Sabki
Laadli
Bebo
and
Phir
Subah
Hogi.
"When
I
was
offered
this
show
(as
a
replacement)
I
was
not
sure
if
I
should
accept
it.
As
I
was
not
keen
on
doing
TV,
I
was
not
doing
anything
on
small
screen
for
a
year-and-half
or
so.
I
had
taken
break
from
TV.
Hence
I
took
time
to
decide.
Eventually
I
took
it
up
as
a
challenge," Anuj
told.
Anuj
was
sceptical
as
he
wanted
to
focus
on
his
film
career.
But
now
that
the
lines
between
small
and
big
screen
are
blurring,
he
decided
to
take
up
the
show.
He
has
a
film
in
his
hand
but
is
not
willing
to
share
any
details
about
it.
Currently,
Anuj
plays
the
role
of
Manav,
who
is
in
love
with
Chhanchhan
(Sanaya
Irani).
Though
Anuj
did
see
the
promos
of
the
show,
but
he
never
got
a
chance
to
watch
the
serial.
"There
is
a
little
pressure
as
I
have
to
play
a
character
which
has
been
played
by
someone
else
earlier.
To
come
as
a
replacement
for
someone
is
difficult
and
challenging," Anuj
said.
"But
today
memory
of
the
audience
is
too
short.
I
am
hoping
people
will
accept
me
as
Manav,"
he
said.
Anuj
insists
he
will
make
the
character
his
own
and
create
a
new
identity
with
it.
There
were
rumors
that
lack
of
on-screen
chemistry
between
Farhan
and
Sanaya
resulted
in
dropping
TRPs
of
the
show.
"I
know
Sanaya
since
quite
sometime.
We
have
met
earlier.
It
is
easy
for
me
to
work
with
her.
She
is
very
helpful.
I
am
hopeful
we
will
make
a
perfect
on
screen
couple
for
this
show,"
Anuj
said.
