Mishal is excited to be part of the popular show Kumkum Bhagya. Apparently, he will be seen challenging rockstar Abhi and thus, becomes his biggest rival.

Regarding his entry on the show, he told an entertainment portal, "It feels great to be a part of a hugely successful Balaji Production like Kumkum Bhagya. I love the atmosphere on the sets; the adrenalin rush is incomparable!"

It is said that the show will take a 7-year leap. Post leap, the lead actress of the show, Sriti Jha will also be seen in a new avatar.
