We had reported about Kinshuk Vaidya being roped in to play the grown-up Khanderao Holkar in Punyashlok Ahilyabai. However, even before the actor was introduced on the show, he has opted out. Gaurav Amlani will now be playing the part. While Kinshuk remained unavailable for comment, producer Nitin Vaidya told us, “We worked hard on the upcoming storyline and the introduction track of the grown-up Khanderao. A contract was signed with Kinshuk. However, he chose to take up another project and told us that he wanted to opt out of the show. We have thus roped in Gaurav to play the part now. We have also informed CINTAA (Cine and TV Artistes’ Association) of Kinshuk’s unprofessionalism.”
