The news of
Jigyasa Singh
quitting
Thapki Pyar Ki 2
has come as a shocker to the audience of the show, which hit the tube in October last year. The actress has had to quit the family drama due to health issues. The makers have roped in
Prachi Bansal to play the new Thapki. She was earlier seen in
Kaleerein
, which wrapped up in November 2018.
She says, “Honestly, I am very nervous. I will try my best to live up to the expectations of the makers and the audience. I want people to accept and like me as the new Thapki. Today is the first day at the shoot for me and the team is warm and welcoming. Everyone is helping me, especially the director sir, who is guiding me through every scene. Thapki stammers and to get it right is a huge responsibility. It’s quite difficult for me to cope with it.”
While the actress is taking over from Jigyasa to play the part, she says that she will approach the character her own way. She adds, “No two actors can have a similar approach to a character. Of course, the character of Thapki has forged a strong connection with the audience and is well established. So, I will try to follow what is expected of the character but I will do it in my own way. I can’t copy the previous actor.”
This will be her first show as the protagonist. After her stint in Kaleerein, Prachi had made up her mind that she would only play central characters. She shares, “I always wanted to play the lead character and after my last TV show, I was very sure of that. I decided that I would only play the protagonist or else I wouldn’t take up the project. I knew I would crack it one day. There is a right time for everything and for me, the wait to play the heroine in a TV show has finally ended after almost four years. However, it’s not that I was sitting at home. I worked hard a lot and was busy with other projects. I acted in a Hindi film, and am all set to make my debut in the Telugu film industry.”
