August 7, 2010 (Sampurn Wire):Viewers have welcomed the death of Vansh in “Uttaran’ as neither the character nor the actor, Rohit Khurana, appealed to them. Vansh may be dead, but poor Rohit Khurana hasn’t stopped rubbing people the wrong way. The aggrieved party this time is none other than Nandish Sandhu, his younger brother in “Uttaran’.

What’s the bone of contention here? Both Rohit and Nandish had the privilege of being guests on the popular chat show “On the Couch with Koel Purie’ that airs on Headlines Today. Both were interviewed separately.

During his interaction, Rohit disclosed that he was offered both the characters of Veer and Vansh, but he opted for the latter as he found that role to be challenging. Nandish was told about this later, and he wasn’t pleased a wee bit.

We spoke to Nandish and he didn’t hide his displeasure over his co-actor’s remark.

“I’m not as such upset with Rohit, but for him to say that he snubbed Veer for Vansh, as he found the role challenging is little demeaning to the other character. Each character is different in its own way, and has different challenges. Besides, every actor would treat a character differently. Ideally, it would have been better had he stuck to his own character”, Sandhu said.

The timing of this incident seems to be perfect. Just imagine if Khurrana was still part of the show, then the producer would have some trouble getting him on the same wavelength.
