Did you know Kundali Bhagya’s Anjum Fakih had auditioned for Preeta's role, too? It was Ekta’s idea to cast her as Srishti

MUMBAI: Zee TV’s top-rated show, Kundali Bhagya, has offered several interesting twists to its viewers since its inception. The constant chaos and commotion in Karan (Dheeraj Dhoopar) and Preeta’s (Shraddha Arya) lives has surely kept the audience at the edge of their seats, especially with the numerous dramatic twists introduced ever since Karan escaped from jail. In fact, now Preeta has been more than ever on the lookout for the culprit and strong believes that Sherlyn (Ruhi Chaturvedi) had something to do with Akshay’s murder. She is also extremely suspicious about Sherlyn’s relationship with Prithvi and believes that the latter might be the father of her baby. While Preeta is on a mission to unveil Sherlyn’s deepest secrets, Shraddha Arya has been working hard to ensure her fans are entertained by her performance. Since day one, the actress has been winning many hearts and has definitely established herself as her character amongst many. While it’s certain that there is no one else who could perfectly essay Preeta’s role, but back when her character was still up for grabs, our very own Srishti aka Anjum Fakih had also auditioned for the character. 

Anjum had auditioned and also given a look test for Preeta’s role. However, she had also given an audition for Srishti’s character and that’s when the actress realized that there couldn’t have been a more perfect role than Srishti for her. Not only did she vibe well with the character, but Anjum also felt that her bold and strong personality strongly resonated with Srishti.

Reminiscing the moment, Anjum said,  “Whenever I go for any audition, I go with an open mind. I had auditioned for both Preeta and Srishti’s roles. However, when I got into the groove, I kind of vibedmore with Srishti’s character and realised that we have a very similar personality. I was very sure that I would be able to add my own tadka to the role and make it more interesting. I believe even the makers felt that, because after the auditions I was straight away called for Srishti’s character. I think somewhere in their head too, they were convinced that I was the perfect fit for the role! In fact, it was Ekta’s idea to cast me as Srishti”

Adding further about her character Anjum said, “To be honest, I always wanted to essay Srishti’s character after the auditions, simply because I see Anjum’s reflection in her. She is impulsive, innocent and head-strong unlike Preeta’s character who is calm and composed. I feel I am content pportraying Srishti’s character because there is so much to give to the character and so much more to learn from it too. I am just glad that everything fell in place, the way it was meant to be.”

Well, we are also certainly sure that there is no one else who could essay Srishti’s role with such confidence. Meanwhile in Kundali Bhagya, Sherlyn and Prithvi’s recent actions has left everyone suspicious of them including Rishabh Luthra. Will Preeta manage to unveil Sherlyn’s secrets?
