Ever since she announced this amazing news, several names from world of TV were being speculated to step into Roy’s shoes. Right from Hiten Tejwani, Iqbal Khan, Samir Kochhar, Eijaz Khan, Karan Wahi to Karan Singh Grover, many names were in the running. SpotboyE.com even managed to give you count-by-count updates. We informed you about Karan Wahi getting finalised for the role and he was also on the verge of signing the contract. However, he got replaced by Bipasha Basu's husband Karan Singh Grover. An official announcement on the same is yet to be made by the makers. In between, we get you another interesting piece of news about the names that were in consideration for the role. A source close to the show told us that Ekta had approached the handsome hunks of Bollywood, Arjun Rampal and Milind Soman. Unfortunately, nothing materialised on that front. We even contacted the actors, but they chose not to respond to our text messages.
Meanwhile, when the real Mr Bajaj was asked about KSG stepping into his shoes, he replied by saying, “I’m very happy for Karan bagging the role of Bajaj. I think he’ll do a great job. My good wishes are with him. May he and kzk2 attain much greater heights of popularity than I did.”
