Apara refuses to play Ash's mommy

Apara Mehta

Soon after she made her exit from Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi as Savita, Apara landed a plump role in Zee's Saat Phere as the scheming Kaki. But what was by far, the most tempting offer made to the actress was to play mother Aishwarya Rai's in Mani Ratnam's Guru.

When contacted she confirms that she was offered the part. But she claims she wasn't told anything about the length of her role. "I haven't been informed anything about my role or what I am doing in the film. I have just met an assistant director from the film, but after that no one has got back to me."

Does that mean she's not doing the role? "Who wouldn't want to do a Mani Ratnam film, but I don't want to jump into a project not knowing what I am asked to do."

Apara's angry

However, an actress close to Apara revealed that the real reason for turning down the part because she was not given any details about the fee, or her look in the film.

"They just asked her to block some dates for the film without even giving her any background of the character. No one bothered to get back to her. I think it's the attitude of the film fraternity towards television actors that must have put her off.

Also, since she's doing a daily and plays on weekends she didn't want to blindly block her dates," revealed her close friend.

So what's Mehta looking forward to in the coming days? "Theatre is my first love and I am happy doing it. My Gujarati play Kem Cho? Majama? completed 145 shows last Sunday to a packed audience. I am also keen on working with Ekta Kapoor again, as I know she will have something lined up for me."
