Avika Gor, in a new interview, opened up on getting replaced in Salman Khan-Pooja Hegde’s Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. She further added that she faced something similar during Antim as well.
Avika Gor became a household name with TV soaps like Balika Vadhu and Sasural Simar Ka. Soon, the actress made her transition to the big screen and acted in a couple of Telugu films. Now, Avika is gearing up for her big Bollywood debut with Krishna Bhatt’s upcoming horror movie 1920: Horrors Of The Heart.
Recently, in an interaction with Siddharth Kannan, Avika talked about how she was replaced in Salman Khan’s family entertainer Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan at the last minute. The actress revealed that she ‘didn’t say no’ to the team but was replaced and she doesn’t even know why. She shared that she was confirmed for the role and had even completed the paperwork for the same.
Avika told the host, “We just got a call that they are going ahead with somebody else, I was going to sign the next day.”
Speaking about how she expected this to happen, the actress recalled, “I had faced something similar with the same team where two weeks before the film they called and they said they cast someone else. But this happens.” When asked if she was talking about Antim, the actress nodded in agreement and continued, “At the end of the day it’s their call and it’s okay. They must have had their reasons, they know better.”
Further, Avika admitted that she was hurt by this episode and added, “Yes, I am human. Of course, you have that feeling that ‘I wish this didn’t happen the second time. But I think it was meant to be. I’m not saying what they did was wrong because at the end of the day, they also have to choose wisely. They have to take calls as to who is the best for their film and that’s who they go ahead with.”
Coming back to Avika’s Bollywood debut, 1920: Horrors Of The Heart is slated to release on June 23.
