Avika Gor, who is still known for her work in Balika Vadhu, recently shared that she was replaced in Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan at the last minute. Avika also said that this wasn’t the first time that she was replaced in a Salman Khan film as she faced a similar situation during Antim.

Talking to Siddharth Kannan, Avika said she “did not say no” but the team of Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan replaced her and she doesn’t know why. “It was a last minute change,” she said. The Sasural Simar Ka actor shared that she was confirmed for the role and the paperwork was also done, but she was yet to sign on the dotted line. “We just got a call that they are going ahead with somebody else,” she said and added, “I was going to sign the next day.”

Avika Gor said she was apprehensive and expected this to happen. “I had faced something similar with the same team where two weeks before the film they called and they said they cast someone else. But this happens,” she recalled and when asked if she was talking about Antim, starring Aayush Sharma, Avika nodded in agreement.

“At the end of the day it’s their call and it’s okay. They must have had their reasons, they know better,” she said. When asked if she was hurt by the episode, Avika said, “Yes, I am human. Of course, you have that feeling that ‘I wish this didn’t happen the second time. But I think it was meant to be.” She added that she doesn’t blame the team for any of this. “I’m not saying what they did was wrong because at the end of the day, they also have to choose wisely. They have to take calls as to who is the best for their film and that’s who they go ahead with.”

Avika Gor will next be seen in 1920 Horrors of the Heart.
