According to reports, actress Akanksha Puri has turned down the offer to play the female lead on Colors’ popular daily soap Chotti Sarrdaarni. The actress, who became a household name after playing the lead character on Sony Entertainment Television’s Vighnaharta Ganesha, could not take up the role due to her work commitments.
Confirming the same, Puri told a publication, “The love and admiration that you get when you work for daily soaps cannot be expressed in words. When I was approached for a replacement, for Chotti Sarrdaarni, I was really not ready for it. Even in the past when I left my show Vighnaharta Ganesha, the show went off air soon. I was the face of the show for three years and a replacement has got to the end.”
She went on to add, “Chotti Sarrdaarni has been a show which has been running from the past few years. It will be really difficult for the audience to accept someone who has replaced that person. I would love to do television in the future but replacing someone is not something I would want to do ever.”
Akanksha Puri will next be seen in Randeep Hooda starrer Inspector Avinash.
