Bhabhi's role was better than Dill Mill Gayye
She's known to be choosy, so we were taken aback when Gurdeep Kohli entered Bhabhi, the long-running afternoon soap on Star Plus. After Nach Baliye 2 and Sindoor, one expected to see the pretty actress in a lead role of a new serial. "True, and I was waiting for something different to come my way but unfortunately nothing new was offered because audiences are glued to a certain type of programming," laments Gurdeep who took up Bhabhi "because the production house met all my terms and conditions." Also, Bhabhi holds a bit of nostalgia for the actress who had made a guest appearance in the soap when she was doing Sanjivani "I have also been promised that once I enter the soap, the focus will shift to my character Gitanjali which will be significant," she points out. With Rucha Gujarati who plays the central role of Bhabhi opting out of the show, it is likely that Gurdeep's role will take centrestage. "I shot with her for two days and I have no clue why she's quit," muses Gurdeep when quizzed about Rucha's exit. Why isn't she a part of Sanjivani's sequel Dill Mill Gaye? "Whatever role I do should have something substantial in it and the role that was offered to me in Dill.. had nothing to offer. They had introduced a lot of new characters that they wanted to focus upon. This would have hampered my image as an actor," justifies Gurdeep. Maybe we will see Dr Juhi in a cameo sometime later in the show.
