Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin: Hitesh Bharadwaj talks about dealing with trolls after replacing Shakti Arora

Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin actor Hitesh Bharadwaj aka Rajat Thakkar opened up about facing criticism for replacing Shakti Arora as the lead.

Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin has a huge fan following. The TV show has been amongst the top two on the TRP charts ever since it began. The second generation story was going on and we saw Bhavika Sharma, Shakti Arora as the leads. They played Ishaan and Savi in the show. People loved the jodi and after a lot of struggles they got married but Ishaan was killed. Ishaan's death was a huge shock for everyone and we saw Shakti Arora quitting the show. The show then took a big leap and only Bhavika, Manasi Salvi, Indraneel Bhattacharya and Ankita Khare from the old cast were retained. After Shakti, Hitesh Bharadwaj entered as the lead opposite Bhavika.

Fans were not happy with this development. They wanted Shakti Arora to continue and there should be more scene of Ishaan and Savi. Hitesh plays the role of Rajat and fans have started loving the new story of Rajat and Savi. However, initially people could not accept the change and trolled Hitesh.

Hitesh has now opened up about dealing with criticism. He spoke to Filmibeat and said that he remembers how someone from his team told him initially that there are many bad comments on social media. Hitesh read those comments and took all the criticism very positively and genuinely.

He shared that when one is working, they have no time to read all this but they do get the idea of what people are liking and what they are not liking. He shared that he was just waiting for the first episode to come out and was waiting so that people could see him as Rajat Thakkar in Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin.
