New Article:Rubina Dilaik to play Sita

Looks like producer Nikhil Sinha's search for Sita has finally ended. Rubina Dilaik has been finalised to play the role of Sita in Devon Ka Dev Mahadev. The actress is excited to play a mythological role for the first time in her career. Says Rubina, "I had been approached for Parvati's role earlier. That was when Chhoti Bahu 2 had just ended. Also when Ramayan was being made for Zee, I was offered Sita's role and recently was approached for Draupadi's role in Mahabharat.

The fact that I was the first choice for all these roles made me ponder over it and I decided to do it." She adds that her beau, actor Avinash Sachdev tells her that she symbolises Indian beauty. "Whenever I would go home after a look test, he would appreciate me," she smiles. Rubina who was finalised for the role two days ago, has since been reading up on the pivotal role. "I have to get the pronunciation, diction and the notation right. There are a lot of Sanskrit words and I am taking my father's help. He is a Hindi professor and a writer," says Rubina who has started shooting for the serial. She recently quit Punar Vivaah – Ek Nayi Umeed as she felt her track – she played TV actress Divya Malhotra — was being sidelined.
