Ok...read the true confession from the horse's mouth (link added). According to SS, Dipika has always been his first choice. Even when he considered DT for a short time due to Dipika's nonavailability, DT could not do because of her webseries commitment. Then he went back to his original/first choice. So being the first choice and doing YHM debarred her from doing KHKT both are fake news. Now the rubbish news are propagated by many to create publicity for the show as they know there are a slew of gullible fans who can be fooled with anything. And I must say, it's working lol...
Divyanka was also approached for the show. She is also your lucky charm. Was it difficult to choose Dipika over Divyanka?
Honestly speaking, Dipika was the first one approached. I spoke to her before she was going to the Bigg Boss 12 house. In fact, I was probably the first one she spoke to about Bigg Boss. She told me that she is going to be on contract till January 31, 2019 and I told her that the show has to go on air by then. I didn’t think of Divyanka before because she was already busy with Yeh Hai Mohabbatein. Then we heard that YHM is shutting down and I was like, why not talk to her. I feel like this character is very close to what Divyanka is, or Dipika for that matter; because all TV actors lead a particular kind of life. Divyanka was like ‘Yeah yeah we should do this’. But then she signed a web series show and her dates got locked and that put me in a soup again because Dipika was in the Bigg Boss house and Divyanka was caught up in another show. I couldn’t wait till Divyanka’s series gets over because that would delay the project quite a lot. We did try 3-4 actors after that but I was stuck between Dipika and Divyanka.
