Mumbai, Jul 31 (IANS): Actor Avinash Mishra is all geared up to replace Ritvik Arora in the hit TV show, Yeh Rishtey Hain Pyaar Ke. He sees it as a big opportunity as well as big responsibility.

Avinash of "Yeh Teri Galiyan" fame will now play the role of Kunal Rajvansh in the show.

He said that he understands that people will compare but he will focus on his act.

"I'm totally ready for it. Yes, it is a big opportunity as well as big responsibility as Ritvik has done a great job and now I have stepped in, it might take time for me to get into the audience's hearts but I'm sure with my positivity, I will," he shared.
