Kavita Kaushik, who has quit <em>Tumhari Disha</em> has now moved on and added another serial to her Balaji portfolio with afternoon soap <em>Kesar</em>. Her first episode went on air last Wednesday and she seems to be going great guns with the show. Kavita, who had earlier spoken to Telly Chakkar, had said that she'd consider quitting <em>Tumhari Disha</em> if it didn't work well enough for her. Well, seems like she's stuck to her principles and moved on.

<em>Kesar's</em> Abhi will no longer be played by Eijaz Khan but by Hiten Tejwani. Justifying Eijaz's replacement, Balaji's creative head Nivedita Basu offers, "Hiten is a fine actor. I am sure he will fit the bill." But will it be easy to identify with him? After all, Kesar is more than 200 episodes old. "Hiten will easily register. We have had replacements in the past- be it Amar Upadhyay in <em>Kyunki</em>... or Nausheen Ali Sardar in <em>Kkusum</em>. Moreover, we wanted Eijaz to be exclusive for Kkavya's role," she replied.
