Kasautii
Zindagii
Kay
2
has
been
hitting
the
headlines
since
its
inception.
There
had
been
recent
reports
that
Karan
Singh
Grover,
who
plays
the
role
of
Mr.
Rishab
Bajaj
in
the
show,
is
not
ready
to
resume
shoot
due
to
the
pandemic.
It
was
said
that
the
team
is
trying
to
convince
the
actor
while
also
looking
for
other
actors
such
as
Gaurav
Chopra,
Sharad
Kelkar,
and
Karan
Patel
to
replace
Karan.
And
now,
putting
all
rumors
to
rest,
the
production
team
of
Ekta
Kapoor's
show
has
revealed
to
have
zeroed
in
on
Yeh
Hai
Mohabbatein’s
Karan
Patel
to
step
into
the
role
of
Mr.
Rishab
Bajaj.
In
an
interview
with
the
Times
of
India,
Karan
revealed,
“Mr
Bajaj
is
an
iconic
character
and
it
has
lived
on
in
people’s
minds
for
years.
So,
it’s
a
matter
of
honour
to
take
it
ahead
from
where
Ronit
Roy
and
Karan
Singh
Grover
left
and
add
my
nuances
to
it.
I
intend
to
make
this
character
as
iconic
and
loved
as
Mr.
Bhalla
(his
character
in
Yeh
Hai
Mohabbatein)
had
become
over
a
period
of
six
years.”
According
to
the
media
reports,
the
actor
will
start
shooting
for
the
show
in
the
coming
week.
However,
a
reliable
source
close
to
the
development
revealed
that
Patel
will
be
sporting
a
drastically
different
look
from
the
one
channeled
by
Grover,
and
his
entry
will
bring
a
major
turning
point
in
the
ongoing
story.
