Actress Khalida Turi excelled as a performer in the role of Qutub Begum in &TV’s popular show, Razia Sultan.
Now, she has bagged her next big show in the mythological masterpiece, Siya Ke Ram being made by Nikhil Sinha’s Triangle Films for Star Plus.
Yes, the exclusive news coming in is that Khalida will play the role of Kaikeyi, the role which was earlier almost bagged by talented actor Simone Singh.
As per reliable sources, “The deal did not come good with Simone Singh. And Khalida was asked to go through few look tests, after which the makers signed her for the prized role. Khalida will be flying to Hyderabad tonight. She will be starting shoot from tomorrow.”
When contacted, Khalida confirmed the news saying, “Yes, it is true that I have bagged Siya Ke Ram. I really did not want to take up a mythological, after Razia Sultan. However, seeing the opulence and grandeour of the show, I could not refuse the offer when it came my way. I am excited, as I have never played a grey shaded character earlier. Qutub, the role I played in Razia Sultan was the complete opposite of Kaikeyi.”
Here’s wishing Khalida all the very best…
