Hitesh Bharadwaj Does Not Regret Leaving GHKKPM: 'I Am Doing Good Work'
Currently, Hitesh Bhardwaj is seen in Aami Dakini. The show premiered on June 24 and airs on Sony TV.
Days after Hitesh Bhardwaj left the popular show Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin earlier this year, it was reported that the actor was reapproached by the makers to join the show. However, Bhardwaj could not rejoin it since he had already signed a new show – Aami Dakini. However, does the young actor regret not going back to GHKKPM?
In an exclusive interview with News18 Showsha, Hitesh Bhardwaj talked about the same. He mentioned that even though he does not regret not being able to rejoin Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin, the show would always be special for him.
'It is not about regretting something. That show is very close to my heart. So I cannot say that I regret that thing. I will definitely say that it would have been good if it had happened. But otherwise, I am in a very good state. I am doing good work. It is like somebody asking, 'Will you go back to Udaariyaan?' I will say the same thing for that also. I like Udaaniyaan very much. These shows have done a lot of good for my career. It has showcased my craft very well. I am always thankful to these shows," he said.
'I will not say that I regret or something but I am doing good work and everything is going well. I just think that yes, it would have felt better if I had gone," the actor added.
Currently, Hitesh Bhardwaj is seen in Aami Dakini. The show premiered on June 24 and airs on Sony TV. Set against the beauty of Kolkata, the story unfolds a journey of love, loss, and revenge. At the heart of it all is Dakini. She stuns with her beauty, frightens with her silence, and kills without mercy.
Talking about his new show, Hitesh expressed excitement and told us, 'I'm playing Ayaan Roy Chaudhry. He belongs to Kolkata but goes to London for higher education. His mother died in the city and therefore he was sent abroad. When he comes back, he wants to do everything in the same way his mother used to do. He reaches this mansion and figures out that there is some presence here, or as people call it, there is a Dakini."

Aditya Roy Kapur Confirms He's In A Relationship, Here's His New Girlfriend After Ananya Panday
Aditya Roy Kapur's latest film, Metro In Dino, is a take on modern relationship dynamics. Aditya Roy Kapur's dating life has always caught everyone's attention. The Metro In Dino was previously dating Ananya Panday, but had been single since their breakup last year. However, during his film's promotions, he confirmed that he is now in a relationship. Who is Aditya Roy Kapur dating? That's a catch! Aditya Roy Kapur said, 'Right now, I'm in a relationship… with this thing called Metro In Dino." Aditya's cheeky comment left the audience and his co-star Sara Ali Khan in splits. Have a look here: The actor was previously dating Ananya Panday. Ananya and Aditya reportedly dated for nearly two years before calling it quits. Ananya Panday and Aditya Roy Kapur's breakup rumours made headlines in April last year after the actress shared a cryptic note on her Instagram stories. Later, a close friend of the two actors told the Bombay Times, 'They broke up almost a month ago. They were going quite well, and the breakup came as a shock to all of us. They are cordial with each other. Ananya is trying to move on; of course, there's hurt. She is spending time with her new furry friend. Aditya is also trying to deal with the situation maturely." However, it should also be noted that Ananya and Aditya have not reacted to their breakup rumours. They also never explicitly spoke about their relationship. After their breakup, Ananya and Aditya continued to fulfil their brand commitments, and Aditya even featured in a beverage ad with Chunky Panday, leaving the internet divided. Metro In Dino Review As for Aditya's new love, Metro In Dino, News18 Showsha gave the film 4/5 stars. Our review read, 'Even at 2 hours 42 minutes, there's hardly a moment where Metro In Dino loses pace. Anurag manages to hold your attention for close to three hours, and to be able to do that in a romantic drama is an achievement in itself." 'The comedy, the drama, the tension – Metro In Dino nails it all! The first half is terrific, extraordinary, making you laugh and think and shed a tear or two, all at once. The action drops a tad in the second half, but that hardly impacts the narrative. And what's interesting and special is that the film is sprinkled with references from Life In A Metro," the review also mentioned. First Published:
