Not quitting Balika Vadhu for films: Pratyusha
By Purva Desai, TNN | Dec 16, 2012, 01.37 PM IST
Rumours have been rife that Pratyusha Banerjee aka Anandi of Balika Vadhu fame is quitting the hit show.
But Pratyusha chooses to take a stance and clarifies once and for all. "I don't know if I'm being replaced but from my side, there are no problems. I have not been told anything by the production house and I have no clue. As of now, I'm continuing to shoot for Balika".
The show has reached an interesting turning point with Shiv and Anandi's wedding so it's hard to imagine that Pratyusha will be replaced at this juncture. Names that are being considered to replace Pratyusha include fellow actor Sriti Jha of Dil Se Di Dua...Saubhagyavati Bhava fame.
Sources inform that the reason behind Pratyusha's decision to quit is a lucrative offer in films.
However Pratyusha remains tight lipped. "If I'm replaced I will be affected but I'm not quitting Balika for films. I have no clue about the future and I'll decide once Balika is over. Till this show goes on, I'll only focus on TV. Right now my priorities are here. Somehow the media seems to know everything. Please get in touch with the production house".
If the speculations prove right, will Balika Vadhu be the same without Pratyusha who has gone on to become the face of the show? But in the TV industry as elsewhere, the show must go on!
