Amitabh Bachchan and Emraan Hashmi starrer Chehre has been in the news ever since it was announced that Kriti Kharbanda is no longer a part of the film. It was said that Kriti was asked to opt-out of the film because of date issues and tantrums. Post the announcement, speculation riffed up as to who will take her place. Mouni Roy, Ankita Lokhande’s name came up but it was television actress Krystle D’Souza who has bagged the role.

We wish her success in all her future endeavours!”
