Sukirti Khandpal opts for western outfits over saas-bahu drama
Pyaar Kii Yeh Ek Kahaani fame Sukirti Khandpal is now all set to woo her fans as the modern and uber cool Jazz in Zee TV’s upcoming show Rab Se Sona Ishq, produced by Jay Mehta.

As known, the show is loosely based on Bollywood flick Namaste London starring Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif where Sukirti is said to be reprising Kat’s role. It is interesting to note that the Nainital girl has so far done quite substantial roles in shows like Agle Janam Mohe Bitiya Hi Kijo, Dill Mill Gaye and PKYEK. In her career so far, Sukirti has stayed away from saas-bahu sagas and even after the end of PKYEK, she chose to make her comeback in a modern avatar.

When asked about the reason behind doing Rab Se Sona Ishq, she said, "I don't have anything against saas bahu sagas, but at the moment I want to wear lots of western clothes, flaunt my curly hair and go to London. I think these are my three demands”.

She even feels that playing the lead in a daily isn’t an easy task, as per her, "I consciously decided to take up something which is extremely light and doesn't involve mental and physical stress. When you are playing a lead on a daily soap, a lot of mental and emotional work goes in to it since you have to look real”.

Rightly said Sukirti!

In a conversation she revealed the notion about what she had been doing in her mean time, she smilingly said, “Oh nothing much… I am just chilling at home. Enjoying life, eating, sleeping and reading. I love reading novels a lot and currently I am perusing Paulo Coelho’s The Winner Stands Alone”.

She further went on to state, “I also love playing with my dogs. I have two dogs, the Perkin breed’s name is Lamda and the Chihuahua’s name is Shumba. They always jump on me and don’t let me sleep at all. I just love them. Furthermore, I love shopping a lot and I follow brands like Zara, United Colors of Benetton and I pick up foot wear from Charles & Keith. And guess what? On Mother’s Day I gifted my mother one carat diamond ring.”

And she confessed that she likes to live life king size and is a very expensive person. “I like to hangout in pubs and five star hotels. And yes, I love English movies. Recently, I saw Avengers and that too twice. As a person, I am very jovial in nature.”

Well, you are quite an expensive one we say!

 So here we are back with some updates regarding the star cast of Jay Mehta’s highly talked about venture on Zee TV, which is said to be based on the lines of the Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif starrer Namaste London.

Last we had updated you that the makers have locked in names like Sukirti Khandpal (Pia of Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani), Ashish Sharma (Chandragupta Maurya fame), and Manmeet Singh. Actor Nandish Sandhu was expected to play the male lead but his ill health made him opt out of the show therefore, the production house will take some more time in finding for a suitable replacement.

Anyway, the news which we have got today states that Malini Kapoor, last seen in Crime Patrol is the latest one to join the gang. Sources say that she will play the bua of the female lead and hers will be a naughty, chirpy and the only character who will support her niece. Furthermore, she will have a skeleton in the closet.

Malini’s character will have a maligned past; her groom had abandoned her on wedding night and had fled to London. But she will believe that he will come back someday, and will dress up like a married woman wearing sindoor and bangles. She confirmed the news and said, “It is a very interesting role that I will be playing in the show. My character is very chirpy, bubbly in nature but has a past associated with her.”

Let’s see what comes next!

Just a day before we had updated you about Imagine TV’s Chandragupta Maurya fame Ashish Sharma joining the cast of Jai Mehta’s next featuring Nandish Sandhu and Sukirti Khandpal in lead.

And now here comes a blow for all Nandish fans as the latest update states that he won’t be seen in the show to be aired on Zee TV. Popular as Veer from Colors’ Uttaran, Nandish was all set to do the show which was based on Akshay-Katrina starrer Namaste London.

Wondering as to what made him quit the show? Well, hear it straight from the horse’s mouth, “Yes, I am not doing the show. I am suffering from Kidney stone and as a result it pains a lot. The show is huge in terms of scale and initial episodes have to be shot in London. With my current condition, I don't want to take up the project and then not be able to deliver my 100 per cent. My doctors are in Mumbai and they have advised me to not to do it. So, I requested the production house."

That’s really sad Nandish and we all wish you a speedy recovery! Hope to see you back on screen soon!

The popular trio of Star One’s vampire saga Pyaar Kii Yeh Ek Kahaani, i.e. Piya aka Sukirti Khandpal, Misha aka Priya Wal and Ruhi aka Roshani Shetty not only shared a great friendship on screen but they even have the same proximity despite the fact that PKYEK has gone off air.

Their friendship was proven when during the launch party of Colors’ new show Kairi, in which Roshani is playing a very important role as the second bahu of Imarti Devi, Sukirti and Priya had come to cheer her. They were seen chatting and having fun during the party and later on after the party was over they all went together for a drive.

Meanwhile, sources somehow managed to talk to Sukirti in between the hustle and bustle of the party and she said, “I am not part of the show; it’s just that Roshani is a good friend and we have come to meet her”.

Well we praise the attitude of Sukirti and Priya, in the industry when everyone is busy to build one’s own career; friends like them are surely a blessing!
