the
lead
character,

trying

money
to

When
Sooraj
starts
his

for

game,
Puneet
will
be
making
his
entry
into
the
show.
"The
channel
had
approached
Jimmy
Sheirgill,
but
he
looked
too
young
for
the
role.
Mukesh
Rishi
and
Puneet
Issar
were
in
contention
for
it
too,
and
it
seems
that
Puneet
has
bagged
the
role,'
TOI
quoted
a
source
close
to
the
show.
Puneet,
who
was
last
seen
on
the
controversial
reality
show
Bigg
Boss
8,
was
one
of
the
most
talked
about
contestant
and
his
relationship
with
his
co-contestant
and
the
winner
of
the
season
-
Gautam
Gulati,
was
one
of
the
strongest
bonds
on
the
show.
"Talks
are
on
for
both
the
shows.
For
Diya
Aur
Baati
Hum,
my
managers
are
looking
at
the
dates,
but
things
are
yet
to
be
finalized.
I
have
been
approached
for
Jhalak,
but
nothing
has
been
confirmed
yet," the
actor
told
the
leading
website
recently.
Puneet
is
reported

have
been
approached
for
the
