Rati
Is it true that you turned down the offer to replace Divyanka Tripathi in Banoo Main Teri Dulhan, because it is also a popular saas bahu saga?
I did not turn down the offer to act in Banoo Main Teri Dulhan just because it is also a saas bahu saga. The reason I did not agree to be a part of the popular serial is that I was scared to replace a popular actress. I knew that if I step into the shoes of another actress who has made the character popular, I would not only invite comparisons but also there is the danger of me basking in reflected glory.
Arjun
In today's day and age there are tons of young actors who grab every opportunity that comes their way in order to be seen or noticed. Arjun Bijlani, better known as Aalekh from Left Right Left is one of those who will not just do any other role to just gain prominence or recognition. The entire package has to work out for this young actor in order for him to take up a role and that's the reason he turned down offers from 2 of the most popular shows on tv today. We gave him a buzz and he informed, "I'll rephrase that. It wasn't that I was offered the roles and I blindly turned them down . I'd say, something in both the serials just didn't work out for me. I couldn't do '..Dulhann even though I was offered the role because ultimately I didn't fit the bill, as they needed someone more negative. As for Parivaar, I couldn't do the show because the money wasn't good enough."
