MUMBAI: Gauravv Chawla and Ananya Banerjee directorial ‘Kaun Banegi Shikharwati’ starring Naseeruddin Shah, Lara Dutta Bhupathi, Soha Ali Khan, Kritika Kamra, and Anya Singh starts streaming on Zee5 today. It revolves around four sisters from a Royal family who compete with each other to be the next King. The trailer of the series was released a few days ago, and it has received a good response.
Actress Lara Dutta in conversation with BollywoodLife spilled the beans about her equation with her siblings. “I am the youngest of three sisters. They are quite a bit older than me; they are 10 and six years older than me, so they have bullied me too much all my life. But, obviously, in this show, I got a chance to turn the tables around since I am playing the eldest in the family,” Lara said.

While Soha said, “I think it’s been really a long time since somebody has been mean to me as three of my onscreen sisters, and it was a different emotion because I am the youngest in real life. My brother (Saif Ali Khan) is much older than me (10 years), he was too old to bully me, and maybe it was a boy-girl thing in my case. But my sister and I did have fights mainly for chocolates.”
Anya further added, “I actually don’t have real siblings, but I am the youngest in the show, and in reality (among the star cast). So, I have been bullied but I have been pampered at the same, so it wasn’t very different for me. But yes, I have to say that the things that were said to me on this show were quite horrible and nasty.”
When Soha and Anya were asked if the ‘Bell Bottom’ actress bullied them on sets, the Rang De Basanti actress said, “Actually, we used Lara much to our own advantage. We used her seniority for our own advantage to get longer lunch breaks, to get days off, to get later starts. She had a natural authority that we could only aspire to. So, we have used her formidable shoulders to fire our guns many times.”
