Gauri Shelgaonkar has been shortlisted to be a part of Ektaa Kapoor’s dream project, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi
A number of new shows are all set to hit the TV screens soon. One of the most anticipated TV shows to return is Ektaa Kapoor’s Kyunki Saas bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. Kapoor had to shutdown the show because of a few unforeseen, commercial reasons, while the team had stories written for the future.
Ektaa Kapoor has mentioned that she was keen on making the show reach the 2000 episodes mark, however, the show had to end within 1600 episodes. But, now, the makers have now decided to produce the remaining 400 episodes of the show.
Downtown Mirror Weekly has exclusively learned that actress Gauri Shelgaonkar who was seen in Dangal TV’s show Safal Hogi Teri Aaradhana has been shortlisted to play an important role in the show. Shelgaonkar played a complex character of a surrogate mother in Safal Hogi Teri Aaradhana wherein her onscreen character Aaradhana is forced to marry Madhavdas as she was the surrogate mother of Madhavdas and his wife Damini’s child.
A source close to the project said, “Gauri Shelgaonkar’s audition was quite impressive and she is one of the actresses who can bag the prestigious project. However, things are still in the early stages.”
Talking about Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, it is speculated that politician and former actress Smriti Irani (Tulsi Virani) will mark her comeback in the show. It is assumed that many new characters might join the show while a few can be retained.
A few actors who were a part of the show earlier can return to the show for continuity characters, appearances or cameos.
The show gave immense popularity to many actors like Ronit Roy, Hussain Kuwajerwala, Karishma Tanna, Smriti Irani, Sahil Baswana, Ashlesha Sawant, Akashdeep Sehgal, Gauri Pradhan, Hiten Tejwani, and Mouni Roy among others.
It will be exciting to see if the show’s return would deliver the same kind of magic that the first installment did or not.
