Here’s why ‘Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2’ actor Omkar Kapoor opted out of his debut TV show

Bollywood star Omkar Kapoor, well-known for his past acting stints in Masoom (1996) to Pyaar Ka Punchnama, was set to make his television debut on Sony Entertainment Television’s Dil Hi Toh Hai- A Love Saga under the banner of Ekta Kapoor. He was finalised to play the lead character of Ritwik Noon in the show.

Surprisingly, the actor has backed out of the project at the last moment. Reportedly, Omkar had second thoughts, as he had to play a father on the show. In fact, he did not even report on the sets to shoot for the promo. He has been replaced by ‘Kitani Mohabbat Hai’ fame Karan Kundra.

When asked about it by a leading tabloid, he said, “I don’t want to comment on anything. I am still in talks with the makers, so nothing is confirmed.”

Omkar Kapoor had started his career with “Masoom” where he received immense popularity as a child artist and turned out to become one of the most favorite and loved child artist of that time.

Interestingly, few days back, Omkar sounded excited to be a part of this project.  He had said, Getting a chance to be a part of television industry through Sony and Ekta ma’am makes me feel blessed and encourages me to showcase some good work to the audience”.

Talking more on making his debut with Dil Hi Toh Hai, he said, Yes, I am making my TV debut with Ekta Kapoor’s show Dil Hi Toh Hai which will be one of the biggest love sagas. I will be playing the lead character in the show of Ritwik Noon who is an ambitious and go getter person when it comes to work on the other hand is a charmer, who is every girls dream and her worst nightmare. My journey from Chota Bacha Jaan ke’ to romancing on screen has been wonderful and I want to make a mark on the television screen as it has a wide audience reach. Looking forward to showcase some good work for the audience”
