They launched it with a big bang and even bigger billboards with mustachioed women across town. But soon enough, Twinkle Beauty Parlour ran into trouble. The TRPs didn't register and so the channel decided to get a new cast for a revamped show. Now that the controversy surrounding the sudden ouster of 22 actors on the show has died down, SAB is gearing up to bring the twinkle back into the parlour. Shrishti Arya's Twinkle Beauty Parlour will be back on July 24.
Twist of youth
The new cast is a mixed bag of well-known and unknown names. Confirming the cast, Priya Mishra, programming head says, "We have Chavvi Hussein, Dimple Inamdar, Seema Mishra, Sakshi Talwar and Sulbha Arya in the new avatar of the show."
What prompted them to make changes in the first place? "We are looking at roping in the youth to watch our show. The new Twinkle will retain the core essence, and at the same time making the content more real. It will be bright, funky, full of life and very vibrant. We will also have the element of drama with the problems these characters face. However, since they are young, these will be issues that are different than the ones the adults face."
Positive spin
Shrishti throws light on the new developments. "Even though it's a brand new show, we haven't really changed or played around with the theme. The new cast is interesting because they are playing characters that are totally different from what they attempted before."
Chavvi Hussein, was previously seen in the lead role of Tumhari Disha, says, "I'm playing the role of Damini, who is quite a cynical person. She is an extremely positive person but has traits of negativity as well. After going through a lot of hardship in her life, she has changed her attitude towards it."
