Barun Sobti garnered a fandom unequal and unparalleled in recent Hindi TV history with his portrayal of Arnav Singh Raizada in Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?
Now, Avinash Sachdev faces the daunting task of keeping the legacy of the show alive as the protagonist Shlok Agnihotri in Season 2 of the show.
There is another coincidence between the two. We just came to know that Avinash was all set to replace Barun in Season One, but before he could step into his shoes, the show went off air
"Yes, it is destiny. I had auditioned for the role of Arnav Singh Raizada and was also finalized. But the next day, I got to know that the show was going off air. I saw the ticker on the show 'Humein khed hai ki yeh show humein band karna pad raha hai kyunki humare lead actor Barun Sobti yeh show chod rahe hain.' Avinash exclaimed.
The coincidence doesn't end here. Avinash is born on August 22, day after Barun's birthday. When told about this, Avinash was beside himself with surprise. "There is something fishy going on!! It is destined. Too much of a coincidence man! I would definitely like to wish him today on his birthday," he said.
Well, will the coincidence end here? Or as in Barun's case, the show will also prove to be a career changer for Avinash? We will have to wait and watch.
