So, I wanted to ask do Mayuri was convinced to work in the serial on the basis of that she will not play a side character and they will give her a perfect ss???
Mayuri must have accepted the show knowing that she is the second lead. The were going to follow IK and in IK, Mayuri character became kind of main but I am sure she knows that how passionate GK is about her leads, plus the show is named Imlie. There is no way the story will focus on Malini especially based on her character sketch till date and GK has never cared about her side characters.
Having said that, even as a second lead why would Mayuri not accept this role? Its a GK show and she gets to be part of a Hindi show. She is getting exposure to the Indian audience world wide. She is well known in Marathi industry and thus the next logical step would be targeting the Indian audience. I think this was the best step career wise for her because she has become a known face everywhere as Imlie is a hit show.
