seems cute... at aleast in this picture 😊

Thanks for sharing the link Jaya. He luks alright but lets see how it turns out on screen. My mind is struck with Sita (Sona).

This is what Nikil the director of DKDM has to say about casting sonarikas as parvati
I believe that my conviction to bring a new face as Parvati has worked very well. You have to understand that Sati and Parvati could not have been the same face! If Parvati came back as Sati then why would Mahadev resist…right? He was devastated after Sati's death, he was completely lost. So now he has been in tapasya for ages, opens his eyes, sees the face of the woman he had loved and lost, then obviously he will embrace her and move forward but that is not what happened. So Sati and Parvati had to be two different faces. I realized that the Sati-Mahadev pairing was set, their chemistry was set and appreciated and many people told me that bringing a new face as Parvati might affect the numbers but I wanted to be as honest and real as possible so I said - ok all that does not matter. My conviction said that Sonarika would be perfect as Parvati and I believe it has worked out beautifully. If we had taken a 'Godly' approach and attitude to the show and shown that Lord Shiva knows everything and is prepared for the worst then why would he have gone crazy when Sati died? I believe that lord Shiva has a very human side to him and when you think about it, he is the only God who has this kind of a love story, and he lives on Kailash so he lives on Earth. So I just want to reiterate that with Mahadev we have tried to be as real as possible.

Thanks for this post Jayshree. Well said Mr.Sinha. Bravo 👏

I hope this will put to rest the never ending debate to why Mouni was not cast as Parvati.
This shows that the makers have their head firmly on their shoulders and are very confident of their product.
It is only a handful of people who keep on and on about this and am glad he has given them an answer which should shut them up hopefully.
It also proves according to some baseless rumors that Mouni did not want to continue. It proves that the makers wanted a fresh new face for the role of Parvati. Thanks for posting this Jaya. Straight from the horse's mouth 👏

some one had said something about the sets being not very comfortable>> actually before an actor signs on the dotted line they know exactly what they are getting into.. and the environment is actually pretty good. they do have their own private area/trailers etc. Yes the sets itself can be hot ,, due to the huge amount of lights .
We do have shoots in our school for video promos of our institution and it can be really bad with just one big bright light burning into us.. so I can imagine the sets ..

Nikil thank u for giving us sonarika .. 🥳

Seriously many people had their own theories about this thing but am glad that the man himself has reasoned well about it. Thankyou so much Mr.Sinha for giving us Sonarika. Seriously it has been a life changer for so many fans this past few months of the show. 🥳

The thread is running fast ! 😲

Yeah Shubhika please do love discussing about our dear Sona. 😊
