Shabbir Ahluwalia will be the new Dutta bhau in Laagi..., stepping into Mishal Raheja's shoes. How will the viewers react to this?
The wait is finally over! The makers' two month-long hunt for a new Dutta Bhau (after Mishal Raheja's exit) has ended on Shabbir Ahluwalia. The actor will now take over from Mishal to essay the coveted role in Laagi Tujhse Lagan. Rumour has it that Mishal was given the boot after his tantrums became unbearable.
Apparently, success went to his head and he thought of himself as indispensable. Reportedly, more than the production house, it was the channel that was keen to get rid of him. A new character Diggu aka Digambar played by Aadesh Chaudhary was introduced opposite Naku (Mahhi Vij) hoping that the new track would salvage the situation, but viewers rejected it instantly. The decision to get rid of Mishal backfired on both the makers and the channel and Laagi... that shuttled between the number one and number two slots, started dipping on the charts.
It was rumoured that Mishal would be brought back, but it turned out to be a false rumour. Reveals a khabroo, "Mishal came to meet his friends on the show and that's how the word started spreading that he wants to come back. But now it's confirmed that Shabbir is the new Dutta bhau." Talking about the forthcoming track, the source says, "Naku has found a friend in Diggu. But she will have to rethink about her friendship with him now. As her husband Datta will soon re-enter to add a twist to Naku and Diggu's tale." Meanwhile, Mishal is trying his luck in films and apparently, has already signed a movie to be shot in Kolkata. Will Shabbir be accepted by the fans of the show? Only time will tell.
