After hunting for a proper face who can portray role of the spirit in Shree (ZEE, Monday to Thursday at 10.30PM) the channel has finally settled on Vibha Anand who is presently seen playing the innocent Sughna in Balika Vadhu (Colors).
ACCORDING to a source, "She will be playing Kangna's role. She came in for the auditions recently and we have finalized that she is doing it."
But interestingly Vibha continues to strongly deny the news. "I was just approached for it in December but I didn't give any auditions. And after that I haven't been in touch with them as I have been too busy with Balika."
But the source tells us that very soon the channel will be announcing Anand's entry. "Many people were approached for the role. The channel initially wanted a new face but then towards the end the two names who were in the running were Vibha Anand who plays Sughna in Balika Vadhu and Ketkie J who portrayed the role of Nandini in Jasuben Jayantilal Joshi ki Joint Family."
"Yes the production had approached me and they even loved my look in the test. I trust JD bhai because I know that he knew that I suited the role but he was waiting for Zee's decision and so I was told to wait. But Zee recommended Vibha.. So I knew what was happening and now if Vibha is doing it I have no issues about that. I know Hats-off trust me, if not this then something better," says Ketkie.
The promos showing Kangna's entry are already on air. "Kangna's entry was supposed to be shown long back but since the face was not decided it was stalled. Currently the person portraying Kangna is actually a junior artist!" says the source.
Vibha Anand is expected to begin shooting for Shree soon.
