Ah Grace.... thanks for reminding about this interview....
I'm not surprised about her casting Erica as Pre. Ekta's soaps are female-oriented and after a while, it is woman who decide everything relegating ML to second leads.
However, with AnuPre, it has been more of a relationship or rather portrayal of equality. Komo comes to AnuPre's life, anu marries her without sindoor, Pre fights with Anurag's implicit help, Pre sacrifices, Anu doesn't bow but fights back for his love, then Anu loses his memory and tags along with Sonalika- Pre doesn't bow to fate but rather fights for her love.
I wonder whether Anurag would both be the equal trope, catalyst as well as the participant of KZK 2 like Prerena, if the role was played by a big-biceped, six-pack-abed, walking around with a strut braggart, instead of an actor with depth-in-his-eyes...
