Amrapali has replaced Parvati Sehgal inMahadev and Nisha Nagpal in Qubool Hai. Producer Nikhil Sinha revealed that both Parvati and Amrapali had auditioned for the role and that look tests were done and "based on the auditions, we found Amrapali more suitable for the character."
However, a source from Mahadev insists, "The production house found Parvati 'too fat' to play Matsyakanya (a mermaid) — Jalandhar's mother. The actress has to look glamourous and beautiful. She was replaced overnight because she looked too fat for the part."
A source from Qubool Hai says that Nisha's recent accident caused the vacancy on the show. "She needs to take rest and can't shoot for long hours. Also, according to the feedback, she doesn't look convincing enough as antagonist Tanveer. We approached Amrapali and she fit the bill perfectly." said our source.
Says Amrapali, "Yes, I played Matsyakanya in the show finally but I am not aware of the reason behind the replacement. I have already shot for my cameo inMahadev but they might need me for a few days more. Also, I have replaced the antagonist inQubool Hai. I don't know who was playing the part before."
