Aroona Irani joins Balaji camp
Incredible though it may sound, it is true that the two leading producers of the television industry-Ekta Kapoor and Aroona Irani have joined hands. The veteran actress-turned-producer, (who has made hit serials like Mehendi Tere Naam Ki, Des Mein Nikalla Hoga Chand and the ongoing Vaidehi) Aroona Irani will now be seen acting in Ekta's popular daily Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii.
Says Ekta, "Aroonaji will be making a grand entry in the show, next month. She will have a parallel role in the show with Sakshi Tanwar. Apparently, it will be Aroona Irani's character, which will help Sakshi Tanwar aka Parvati to take the right decisions and help her out in her mission. "We needed a seasoned actress with a strong personality like Aroonaji, someone who will be able to guarantee the show's success and woo the audience as well. And the only name that came to my mind was Aroona Irani."
Apparently, Balaji was looking for an actress of Aroona Irani's calibre in Kahaani... "Balaji was always keen to work with Aroonaji," says a source.
"I've known Aroonaji for years now. She was my fathers' colleague and a family friend. It is true that Aroonaji will be joining Kahaani… team after the impending leap. I'm sure she will be a delight to work with," adds Ekta.
Aroona Irani, who is busy with her show Vaidehi on Sony, will now have to work out her dates for two daily shows. Incidentally, Aroona had said in an earlier interview to Mumbai Mirror, "I was always open to the idea of acting in films and TV shows but I guess no one wants to work with me. My image as a producer makes everyone in the industry feel that I wouldn't be interested in acting with others. Probably they presume that I won't be able to give them the required dates because of my busy schedule." Well, now they know.
