Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin Exclusive: Hitesh Bharadwaj On Dealing With Trolls Amidst Replacing Shakti Arora

Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin: The Bhavika Sharma-starrer television show is back to its A-game. The show's TRP was significantly affected when its story went for a drastic change with Ishaan's death and the entry of Rajat played by Hitesh Bharadwaj. While today the audience has wholeheartedly accepted the new story and especially Hitesh and his character, at the start, the audience was not ready to accept the new storyline and Hitesh even received hatred and criticism on social media, especially from the IshVi fans. In an exclusive conversation with FilmiBeat, Hitesh Bharadwaj opens up about how he dealt with the initial hatred on social media when he replaced Shakti Arora as the male lead of Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin.

When the news of Hitesh joining Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin was out, many ardent fans of the show wrote off the new story and Hitesh even before they started their journey with the show. When asked how he dealt with criticism on social media, Hitesh said, 'I remember how at the start someone from my team told me that there are so many bad comments on social media. So I said okay, let me read it. I took all the criticism very positively and genuinely. Firstly, when you work, you don't get time to read such things, but yes, you always get an idea of how many people have accepted the work and how many have not.'

The actor further added, 'I was just waiting for the first episode. I was waiting for when the first episode would release and people would see my character. I always believe that the character is always bigger in any TV show, not the actor. There's only one way, either you serve to the the art or the artist. I believe in serving in art.''

Talking about the upcoming track of the show, it is stated that Rajat and Savi will now fake their romance in order to win Sai's custody. It is also mentioned that very soon, makers will introduce the wedding track of Rajat and Savi.
