TOI comes out with an interview of Sona about the replacement controversy. 🤪
Sonarika Bhadoria denies her exit from the serial Devon Ke Dev...Mahadev
Lucknow girl Sonarika Bhadoria has been in news ever since she started doing one of the top TRP ganrners on TV, Devon Ke Dev ... Mahadev (DKD). But of late, the actress has been in the news for all the wrong reasons - her tantrums on the sets and her threats to quit the show.
If rumours are to be believed, Sonarika has been shown the door and replaced by another TV actress, Pooja Bose. "It is funny that while I am continuously shooting for DKD and the sequences to come in the next month, there is news of me quitting the show," laughs Sonarika.
She adds, "Let me clear this forever that I'm the only Parvati for DKDand no one else. Why would I quit DKD? Yes I am playing a mother to three grown up kids, but I am still shown as 16 on the show. I am not wearing glasses and I don't have a single grey hair. My character is that of an immortal. Godess Parvati will always remain 16 on the show, bhale hi mere grandchildren kyun na aa jaye. So, I don't have a problem there," she says.
Ask her about her tantrums on the sets and she says, "Mere andar ek Rajput ka khoon daud raha hai toh it is but obvious ki mujhe gussa aata hai, haan main muhphat bhi hoon, jo dil mein hai, woh zubaan pe. But I have been like that ever since I joined DKD and the makers have never had a problem with me. They have always treated me like a kid. No matter what professional rapport I might share with them, but let me tell you that I have a very good personal rapport with them. Kaam karte-karte thodi bahut toh problems aati rehti hain, and it is there in every field, but that doesn't mean ki the producers will show me the door. No, not at all."
We wonder then what are the reasons for these rumours and Sonarika comes up with a valid reason: "The only reason I can think of is that recently my contract got renewed and also I got to know from someone that Pooja was approached for the role of Sita. So, everyone just linked the two things. Also, even if I had to quit DKD ever, I will do that happily, magar aisa hai nahi abhi," she says.
All these rumours might be baseless but they have been quite disturbing for Sonarika. "My family is very upset, especially my dad. I have had sleepless nights because of all this confusion. My phone has been continuously ringing. I was also fearing that this might create a rift between the show producers and me, but thankfully aisa nahi hua," she says.
