| Ghai has earlier played a brief role in
Subhash Ghai's box-office turkey Yaadein . He also acts in
serials like Aashirwad, Gharonda and Piya Ka Ghar.
Speaking
to indiantelevision.com, Asha Parekh said that the parting with
Saxena was amicable. She said, the serial required more inputs from
him in terms of quantity but due to his commitments with Kkusum,
Saara Akaash and Pratima (Bollywood star Rani Mukherjee
and her brother Raja's serial which he recently signed), he couldn't
meet their demands. Saxena is also expecting a foreign tour soon,
Parikh said.
Saxena revealed that, "I will be in the US for Navratri. I
had told Ashaji about my plan, long ago. I had informed the
Kkusum and Saara Akaash unit as well, and they prepared
themselves for it by shooting my portions before hand."
Saxena said that Parikh had also built a sufficient bank of episodes
to go ahead with the serial in his absence but suddenly, the channel
demanded a few changes. As a result, portions from the bank had
to be scrapped.
"This, in turn, required re-shooting to be done exactly when
I was gone. It was a Catch-22 situation for me."
Saxena is expecting to leave for the US soon. He would be
back on 14 October. The actor got engaged to Ishmita, a girl from
Delhi recently. "The marriage is slated for February/March,"
he informed.
