Its more important in this industry to keep that girl /young woman image as newcomers are waiting to bag the lead role. if this was a long running show, then it makes sense but not sure as its not even 3 months. So its all up to her. Also, not sure if Shakti's contract also comes into picture as he will portrayed as a father. We will just have to wait and see what they show us.
Well that depends.
Erica (24 at that time) in KRPKAB played a mother role fairly well, even when it was not in her contract originally & she had her reservation about it, but she still did it. KRPKAB threw parents track after 10 months with a leap to move forward the story (It was surprising for everyone). It was her first TV show.
So, I think the actors of this show are in the age-group and in space where they might not have much apprehension to play a role of a mother.
Besides, Aditi has played a mother before in Gangaa to a 6 year old daughter, so it would not be the first time for her to portray a mature mother role. So, I doubt if she would have a problem with playing mother on the show.
Considering the theme of this show was mature with married couples, so playing mother clause might already be in the contract.
