The gorgeous actress, who was a part of the panel of judges along with Rajatava Dutta and Paran Bandyopadhyay in ‘Mirakkel’, is likely to be replaced in the show. The actress expressed her anguish over the topic in a social media post first. While exclusively speaking with ETimes-TV she said, “Many people get project just by oiling. I never oiled anyone.” She also added, “This was due I guess. This is the penalty I have to pay for being honest and vocal. What else can I say! This was bound to happen. But one thing is for sure, my audience is with me. If you go through my post on social media, you will see how common people stood by me. That’s what I need.” Recently, Sreelekha expressed her opinion on ‘nepotism’ and ‘favouritism’ in Bengali film industry. It stirred up a controversy as she took some big names too. Rumours suggest, makers of 'Mirakkel' are keen on having Rudranil Ghosh, Soham Chakraborty and Paoli Dam in the next season. (Photo: Facebook)

Ever since the second promo of the show was launched, it took the social media by storm. Apart from a recently released romantic filmy song used as the background music, the romantic angle between the two characters, drew the attention of the netizens. The original stories never had such romantic angle between these friends.
