Rishton Se Badi Pratha - New Faces

The makers of Rishton Se Badi Pratha do not seem to have a smooth sailing as the latest buzz is its lead Shalini Chandran will be replaced by Neha.

As per our source, "The lead pair of the show is being replaced and the producers are looking out for some fresh faces this time. The girl, a fresh college student, has been finalised. But, they are still looking out for the male lead."

As reported earlier, Gagan Malik was to play the lead but he walked out and came in Gaurav Chaudhary. But, now we hear he too is on his way out and a replacement is being looked for.

The show was to go on air last month but it was delayed due to casting issues; but now this one seems to be a major issue as the promos having Gaurav Chaudhary and Shalini Chandran are already on air.
Gaurav said, "I have no clue about it. As far as I know we are to start shooting in a day or two."

Shalini said, "I have heard they are casting some more people and the shoot has been postponed for now. But, about the replacement, I have not been informed. I think the channel will definitely take a sensible decision. So, I can't say much on it." Producer Pearl Grey stayed unavailable for comment.
