Priyanka Bassi, who played Cadet Naina Singh in Left Right Left, is returning to TV after nearly one-and-a-half years. Priyanka is replacing Garima Ajmani in Rang Badalti Odhani.
A source says, “We had few options when Garima left the show because of some other commitment. But we felt Priyanka was quite capable to pull off this character. She will play Shantanu’s old friend. She is a yoga teacher and is going to meet Shaan after a long time. Both of them could not keep in touch with each other post their college life. She is also unaware about the fact that her once-best friend Shaan is now a married man. Priyanka’s character is bold and she is completely today’s girl. She has an interesting past with Shaan and that will come into focus a little later in the show.”
Priyanka confirmed the news and said, “Yes I am making a comeback with Odhani. It is a different character than what I have done earlier. It was my conscious decision to stay away from television, as I think when you suddenly switch from one show to another, people get confused. Besides since I worked continuously for LRL, I needed that break. Two weeks back I decided now is the right time for me to get back and I will accept any role which will be offered to me first. Luckily I got a call from this production house saying they wanted me on the show. I feel right things happen at the right time. I have just seen a few episodes of this show and I think after my entry it will do well.”
Priyanka is likely to start shoot from Saturday and her entry will be telecast sometime next week. Apart from Priyanka, Manish Raisinghania too will be stepping in the show.
