Arjit Taneja on joining Jhanak as the new lead: I had initially declined the show
Arjit Taneja Fresh off his successful run as Virat in Kaise Mujhe Tum Mil Gaye (KMTMG), Arjit Taneja wasn't planning to jump into another project right away. He had hoped to take a short break and cherish the memories of his last show. But fate had other plans, and he soon found himself on the sets of Jhanak, stepping in as the new male lead post the generational leap. He recalls, 'While I was still shooting for KMTMG, I got a call from the production house of Jhanak for what I thought was a new show. I did a mock shoot but didn't think much of it since I was busy wrapping up a show I was emotionally invested in. Later, they told me the mock shoot wasn't for a new show but for the male lead in Jhanak after the leap. I declined the offer. I've always believed that if I do a show, I want to start from the beginning. With leaps, there's usually a hangover of the original cast that lingers with the audience.' In fact, he had even taken to social media to clarify, tweeting that he hadn't signed any new show. 'I really wanted to take a break and relax. KMTMG was very special to me, and I needed time to let it all sink in. That's why I tweeted—to clear the air about Jhanak, which at that point, I wasn't doing.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo So, what changed his mind? 'The makers reached out again and explained their vision. They pitched it as a new version with a fresh story, and that made me see it differently,' he replies. Arjit continues, 'I realised that this opportunity kept coming back multiple times. And here I was, repeatedly saying no. That didn't sit right with me. I had just wrapped up my previous show 10–15 days ago and spent time unwinding with family and friends in Delhi. But I also thought, at a time when so many actors are struggling for good roles, why was I turning this down again and again? It's a good show, a good platform, and the offer was solid, including the money. ' Admitting it took him a while to accept the role due to lingering emotions from his last character, he says, 'I hadn't fully processed Virat's journey ending. I'm still reeling from the incredible experience of shooting Kaise Mujhe Tum Mil Gaye. It was truly a special time on set — unforgettable and impossible to replicate. I miss it every single day. As an actor, you need that time. But sometimes, you have to trust the timing. So, I finally said yes. Right now, I'm in the process of adjusting to the new role and settling in.'

Arjit, a popular TV actor known for shows like Kaise Mujhe Tum Mil Gaye and Kumkum Bhagya, jumped to Aamir's defence. "Stop f**ing spreading hate. This isn't nationalism. You don't know how n what one is doing to cope with what is happening in the country. Does a social media post validate everything for you? Just because someone did not 'post' does not make them antinational. Dumb people dumb logics," he wrote in response to the post. After the original poster shared an old video of Aamir from 2015 when he had talked about intolerance in India, Arjit again responded, 'Keep your dumb commentary to yourself. Aur kuch karna hai toh desh ke liye kar. Ghar pe baith ke phone ke peeche bakwas karne se aur views milne se khush mat ho (If you want to do something, do it for your country. Talking on the phone while sitting at home won't help). Ps - I love my country. But won't be spreading unnecessary hate instead will do what I can and in my hands.' Aamir Khan Productions shared a post on Operation Sindoor, India's retaliatory attack against terror bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir after the Pahalgam terror attack, on Monday. Many online felt it was too late as the operation began over a week before that. #BoycottAamirKhan began trending on Twitter (now X) by Thursday morning. One tweet read, "This (snake emoji) broke his 'maun vrat' to promote his move #SitareZameenPar." Another added a screengrab of AKP's note and wrote, 'Because his movie's trailer was going to release today, this is what the b**** did yesterday. Until then he was quiet!' Aamir has, so far, maintained silence on the development. Sitaare Zameen Par, directed by RS Prasanna, is the spiritual sequel to the 2007 hit film Taare Zameen Par. Produced by Aamir Khan Productions, the film introduces 10 debut actors. The screenplay for the film is penned by Divy Nidhi Sharma. The film also stars Genelia D'Souza.
