TellyChakkar got in touch with Richa who spoke at length about the show and much more.
Your first reaction when you were offered the role?
Whenever the second season of any show is launched, the expectations are very high from everyone. There is a lot of pressure on the actors to perform and inculcate the entire thing. When the show was offered, I was very excited. Because when I was doing Bhagyavidhaata at that time, I got to know about this show, I knew about the show and I liked it. I felt that if I was not able to be a part of the show at that time, I will definitely grab the opportunity this time.
What can the viewers expect from your character?
I am playing the character of Rajni Kashyap. This character was earlier played by Bhairavi Raichura. I'll be paired opposite Jiten Lalwani who is playing Inder Kashyap's role. He is also a very senior actor. It's a very overwhelming thing for me as I am stepping into someone else's shoes. I also have to fit into the family that has already had that kind of a bond. I was a little sceptical also but I took it as a challenge and I thought I'll do my best. Bhairavi played the character in her own way and I'll have my own way to portray it. I am gelling well with the family and I am not finding anything difficult.
Are you ready for comparisons as the previous season was a huge hit?
Honestly, even the near and dear ones don't leave a chance to criticise us for a lot of things. Comparisons and criticisms from social media is no big deal. The people on social media are always looking for moments where they can draw comparisons and give their feedbacks. I have been trolled a lot in the past but I had taken it sportingly. I have taken social media trolls very positively. It doesn't affect me anymore.
Richa has previously worked in shows like Bhagyavidhaata, Siya Ke Ram, Badalte Rishton Ki Dastaan, Muskaan, Jaat Ki Jugni, among others.
Sasural Genda Phool 2 is all set to hit the small screens from 7th December onwards on Star Bharat.
The show is produced by Ravi Ojha Production Enterprises.
