Shakti Arora told the truth about his experience in a recent chat with an online entertainment news site. He said that the first part that was offered to him in 'Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin' was that of Virat Chavan. But things came up that made it impossible for him to take the job. The show went on to be a huge success, which made Shakti feel bad and gave him fear of missing out. Still, when Shakti saw Neil Bhatt play Virat, he was happy and said that Neil was the right person for the part. During the making of the show, Neil met the person who would become his life partner. Shakti joked that he finally accepted the offer because he didn't want to get another case of FOMO.

In an earlier interview, Shakti said that he had talked about 'Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin' with producer Rajesh Ram Singh. But those talks never happened, which is why Neil Bhatt got the part in the end.

Shakti Arora also talked about the pressure of keeping TRPs high, since 'Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin' is always in the top two shows. During the takeover, he said he felt the weight of expectations, and he emphasised that he and the rest of the cast have a duty to win the hearts of the audience and reach new heights.

Shakti Arora plays Ishaan, the head of the Bhosale Institute, on the show. Bhavika Sharma plays Savi, and Sumit Singh plays Reeva. As an actor, Shakti has a lot of fans in the business, and the TRPs of the shows he leads go up when he is in them. Together with Shraddha Arya, he had a very popular part in the show 'Kundali Bhagya.'
