From what looks like a sister act to follow, Shweta Keswani (Avantika of Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii) dropped out voluntarily of the serial, just after Mandira Bedi announced her departure from it. Looks like the Balaji telefilms' cup of woes is brimming with sorrow and overflowing with dark days ahead.
While Mandira said she was unhappy with the negative role, Shweta's attributes her opting out due to fatigue.
According to Shweta, "I was doing Des Mein Niklla Hoga Chand and Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii. It was becoming hectic to handle both the projects. I need a break. If I don't take one now, I will soon collapse. I thought that the logical thing would be to drop Kahaani...."
Obviously, since she has a meatier role in Des..., it would be smarter to quit Kahaani... But Shweta argues that it is because she has killed her husband in the serial. It would be easier to get eliminated in this one. She maintains that she told Ekta about it nearly five-six months ago. In the serial, her character has been exposed. According to her, the next step probably would be that she has been sentenced to life imprisonment. And she avers that there is no friction between Ekta and her.
When asked about her future plans she said: "There is no dearth of work. Aroonaji has offered me a few roles in the serials she is planning for Sahara and Sony. Let's see. But nothing for some time at least. Leave me alone. I am exhausted."
With Deepak Kazir AKA Babuji of Kahaani... also planning to call it quits, is it Kahaani...'s turn for a double dose of sob stories?
