Second time lucky!
It’s a classic case of destiny pulling out all stops to bring together Preetika Rao and Priyank Sharma. No, we aren’t talking about their real life. Incidentally, the actors, who will be seen together on 'Laal Ishq', were in talks earlier for another project. However, things didn’t materialise back then.
Priyank says, “We were considered for Radha Krishna around two years ago.However, it wasn’t meant to be. I feel we were destined to come together.”
Snigdha won’t play a mom anymore
Snigdha A Akolkar, who has played Kaushalya in 'Siya Ke Ram' and Anjani in 'Karmphal Data Shani', says that the fear of getting typecast as a mother has often made her refuse similar roles. She shares, “When I took up Kaushalya’s role, I knew that the character was strong, it was not just about being Sri Ram’s mother. Anjani was originally meant to be a cameo, but it got extended. However, now I am being offered similar roles and that’s scary. I don’t want to get typecast. I have never understood why someone would cast beautiful girls as mothers and then make them look old. I don’t mind playing a mother if I am offered a mature love story with a strong character graph.”
