There is a slice of Kasautii Zindagii Kay happening on Rishhton Ki Dor. Besides Urvashi Dholakia, Moonmoon has just stepped into the Sony afternoon drama. The common factor between both actresses is the Balaji show Kasautii on Star Plus. And knowing the problems galore on Kasautii's sets, an echo is already being felt on the sets of Risshton. The unit buzz is that Dholakia is a tad unhappy with the idea of having another female character in the show, that too a Kasautii co-star. When asked about her so-called cold vibes with Dholakia, Moonmoon says, "We share an extremely professional relationship; there is nothing personal in it."
Rocking affair
Currently, Moonmoon's character Sampada is the latest wife of Anurag Basu (Cezanne Khan) in Kasautii. "Sampada is rocking at the moment," says Moonmoon. Dholakia is also back in the daily to continue with her scheming Komolika act.
Now both Moonmoon and Dholakia cross paths in Risshton Ki Dor. Moonmoon plays the other woman in Suhas' (Anuj Saxena) life that is Noyonika's (Dholakia) husband. Says Moonmoon, "The main reason why I took up this role is because it's something I have never done before. I play Neha, a special investigation officer. So there are no saris, I am in corporate suits and I even wear spectacles. The look is very much like Bipasha Basu in Corporate, including that tightly pushed back hair."
Bhaiya bana saiyan
Adds the actress, "What's most interesting for me in Risshton Ki Dor is that I play Anuj's love interest. Years ago, in Kkusum, I had played his character Abhay's sister. I have been treating him like an elder brother since then and it's quite odd romancing him on the show now."
Moonmoon began shooting for Risshton Ki Dor on Wednesday in Mona Kapoor's Future Studios at Goregaon. "I have just shot for a few scenes as it is my first day on the sets; I am waiting for the character to develop."
The actress has also lost a lot of weight recently through strict dieting and gymming. "It is very noticeable and I have managed to knock off all the chubbiness."
Moonmoon's fact file
Moonmoon's earlier TV shows include Bandhan (DD), Ghar Ek Mandir, Kkusum (Sony), Awaaz (Zee) and Kamini Damini (SaharaOne). She also featured in a Telugu film, Yagnam. Besides doing a cameo in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, she also features in the Balaji show Krimson Skies that is in a state of limbo.
