Talented actress Sudha Chandran was earlier approached to play an important role in Zee TV's Do Saheliyaan-Kismat ki Kathputaliyaan. She was to play the dadi of one of the male leads, Shaurya played by Gaurav Chaudhary. However, the role has now gone to seasoned actress Navneet Nishan.

According to our source, "Very soon, the two male leads and their families will be introduced. Sudha Chandran was offered the role of the patriarch of one of the familes, but the role will now be played by Navneet Nishan. The production house and channel wanted Sudha to portray this classy role, but the actress could not manage her dates".

Sudha Chandran when asked told us "Yes, I was offered the role and it was a nice character. But they wanted to start shoot immediately, and I could not do so as my role in Mata Ki Chowki got extended".

Navneet Nishan who has bagged the role elaborates on her character and states, "The character I am playing is very positive and loving. I am the Dadi of Shaurya. I love him very much, and will help him get married to his love, as the story unfolds".

When asked why she took up this role, Navneet said, "Ratna Sinha, the Producer of the show is a close friend of mine. I know her for five years, and when she narrated this very important character, I had to take it up".

The actress has already begun shoot and her entry will be aired very soon.
