The wait is finally over!! Balaji Telefilms’ popular show, Meri Aashiqui Tumse Hi on Colors has got its new male lead.

Yes, entering the show in the role of Shikhar Mehra will be popular heartthrob, Arjun Bijlani.

Arjun who has been enjoying parenthood after the birth of his little boy, will get back to action in a daily soap after a hiatus. He was last seen essaying the lead role in SAB TV’s Jo Biwi Se Kare Pyaar.

As per the ongoing track in Meri Aashiqui, Ishaani (Radhika Madan) has been arrested. And Ranveer (Shakti Arora) is under the impression that Ishaani wanted divorce from him only for the fact that she could spend her life happily with Chirag (Ravjeet Singh) after getting a hand at Ranveer’s money.

As per a reliable source, “Arjun has signed on the dotted lines, and his entry will be aired soon. He will play an extremely positive character, a lawyer by profession. Shikhar will be a Casanova, who would not believe in love. His motto in life will be to have fun. He will be a close friend of Ranveer and Ritika (Smriti Khanna) who would bend his back to save Ishaani from the trouble she is in.”

When contacted, Arjun asked us to call him later.

We tried contacting the channel for a confirmation on this, but did not get any revert.

His entry, we hear will air in this Saturday’s episode (21 March).
