Veteran actress roped in for Chandra Nandini!

Ekta Kapoor has gone all out for her historical epic Chandran Nandini. With auditioning horses for her show's elaborate battle sequences, to roping in classical dancers for the wedding sequence of Chandra (Rajat Tokas) and Nandini (Shweta Basu Prasad), the TV Czarina sure believes in going all out.

The makers have now roped in a veteran actress to play a key role that would have a direct impact on the lives of Chandra and Nandini.

And the actress is none other than Sheeba Chadha. Sheeba has played notable roles in Kasturi, Kitani Mohabbat Hai, Pavitra Rishta and Kuch Toh Log Kahenge, and also has been a part of prominent films like Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Ek Hasina Thi and Dum Lagake Haisha among others.

In Chandra Nandini, Sheeba will be seen portraying Helena's mother Aapa Maa. Aapa Maa will be having grey shades and the drama quotient will also go up post her entry in the show.
