Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi's Shagun Sharma calls being a part of the show 'WILD': 'Changed my life for..'

Shagun Sharma, who essays the character of Pari in Star Plus' Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2, recently had an exclusive chat with India Forums and spoke about the show's stellar performance. The actress also discussed competing with Rupali Ganguly’s Anupamaa on the TRP charts and further addressed Smriti Irani's recent comments on the comparisons between the two shows.

Congratulations on the massive success of Kyunki 2! The show has been breaking records since its launch. How does it feel to be part of such an iconic legacy?

Honestly, it feels surreal! I did watch the show a little bit but just like the entire country I was aware of it and now being in it is wild. It’s like being part of something that already has its place in history and now we’re adding a new chapter to it. Feels like you are a part of something really big.

You play a character with shades of gray. Have fans ever reacted strongly to your portrayal of Pari?

Oh, totally! Some love her, some want to shake her. But that’s the fun part, if people are feeling something, it means you’re doing your job right. And after receiving my first SPA (Star Parivar Award) for Pari, I think this character and this show changed my life for the better, and it’s only going forward from here.

What can fans look forward to next in Kyunki 2? Any hints?

Let’s just say, Pari’s next move might surprise everyone. You’ll definitely want popcorn for the upcoming episodes, as they are full of drama.
