After
threatening to quit the show umpteenth number
of times, bubbly actress Rucha Gujarati
is finally out of the show. Now, Jayshri
Rao will be essaying the role of Suhana.
And with this change, it's time again for
audiences to see a fresh track emerging
in the storyline.
Though
the rumour mills have it that Rucha was
extremely unhappy with Gurdeep Kohli's entry
in the show and wanted to work on her own
terms; but somehow here she gives us a totally
different side of the story.
Keeping all the controversies aside, Rucha
says, "I have quit the show because
it is taking a generation leap. I am not
comfortable playing a mother to a 16 year
old daughter. I want to play characters
of my age. I am also fed up of crying as
Bhabhi. I have tried many genres
in the past but not comedy. Now that I am
free, I may do so."
So, how will Rucha exit the show? She reveals,"I
will be dying in the serial and a new lead
will be introduced as Suhana."
However, Rucha's loss is Jayshri's gain
who's currently playing the lead in DD's
Nargis.
"This is my first show on Star Plus.
I had auditioned for Suhana's role and now
that I've been signed on, I am really excited
about it. I am trying to get into the skin
of the character," utters Jayshri.
For
the uninitiated, Jayshri has done some movies
down south and a couple of Hindi serials
too. She was last seen in Aroona Irani's
Tum Bin Jaaon Kahaan and Zameen
Se Asman Tak.
When we asked Jayshri about Rucha's controversial
exit, she gave us a rather diplomatic answer.
"Rucha is a good actress and I like
her work. About her exit there's nothing
much to say. I don't know Rucha personally
so I cannot comment," says Jayshri.
The current track in the serial revolves
around Suhana (Rucha Gujarati), Dev (Vishal
Singh) and Gurdeep (Geetanjali Sarbharwal).
In the coming episode, Suhana will meet
with an accident but will be back with a
new identification.
"We are going for a generation leap
one more time and also introducing Jayshri
Rao. She fits the role perfectly and will
be our new Suhana.," confirms Uditanshu
Metha, Associate Vice-President, UTV.
Will the afternoon raker Bhabhi
be able to maintain the same TRPs post Rucha?
We leave it to the audiences to decide..
