Replacement still a hot favourite in telly soaps
Replacement of actors and actresses seems to be a favourite trend among the channels these days.
After
Smriti Irani making a grand come back as Tulsi and replacing Gautami
Kapoor in Balaji's Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, the next one to
join the gang is the seasoned actress Krutika Desai. After having won
audiences' hearts as Reena Kapoor's mother-in-law in Sahara One's Woh
Rehne Wali Mehlon Ki, Krutika has now replaced Anisha Ahuja in Star
One's Annu Ki Ho Gayi Waah Bhai Waah to play Amit Verma's step-mother.
Interestingly, Krutika had replaced Kamya Punjabi in the former too. Krutika says, "It was never a conscious effort. The offers came in and I found them quite interesting so I went for them. I would call it a mere coincidence that both these characters had been played by someone else earlier but I really don't know why they are not a part of these shows any more." This trend might be getting more TRPs for the channels but the fact that these replacements break the link and the emotional bonding between the audiences and the actors cannot be overlooked.
