Pyaar Ka Ek Naam…Barkha

Before joining television, the girl from Dehradun finished her B Com from Symbiosis, Pune. She worked for three and a half years as a voice and accent trainer at a call centre. And then came her Big Break….

At 24, Barkha was chosen from thousands of youngsters to play 'Udita' in Balaji Telefilms' Kitni Mast Hai Zindagi. After a nationwide talent hunt, Barkha was the finalist from the Bangalore round. With her quirky behaviour, she became very popular with the 'MTV crowd'.

Soon this huge success was followed by well-appreciated roles in Kasautii Zindagi Kay and KavyAnjali. But she opted to be part of Pyaar Ke Do Naam…, instead of Kyaa Hoga Nimmo Kaa!

After the popular Balaji dramas, Barkha was no doubt enthusiastic about playing the lead role in Pyaar Ke Do Naam, Ek Raadha Ek Shyaam under the Rajshri banner. And she had the handsome Indraneil Sengupta for company!

Lucky for us to see her in two completely different roles in this interesting serial! On one hand, she's the beautiful, aspiring doctor from the middle class-Raadha, and on the other, she's the young, gutsy, village beauty-Shyaama. This spunky girl always insists on doing her own stunts for the show.

Yes, things are going great for her in her professional and personal life. Barkha is all set to marry Karan Singh-her co-star 'Arnav' from Kitni Mast Hai Zindagi- later this year. Barkha and Arnav have been together for quite some time now, after meeting on the sets of the show. We wish her all the best!

Barkha describes herself as a grounded girl who believes in destiny and love. She even believes that everybody has seven lives! She says she loves Italian food. Did you know that Goa is her favourite holiday spot? And that Salman Khan is her favourite actor?
