Kavya Gowda takes over as Radha miss in Radha Ramana

Shwetha R Prasad recently quit the show
As one of the most popular characters on

Kannada

television, when Radha miss, a.k.a, Shwetha R Prasad, called it quits from

Radha Ramana

, it created much buzz. A lot of names cropped up for who would replace her in this role, and now we hear that Kavya Gowda (of Gandhari fame) has stepped in. “Yes, I’m Radha miss now,” says Kavya, as she shares a recent anecdote. “I was at

food street

in VV Puram recently when some people came to me and called me Radha miss. I have been told that I resemble Shwetha and fans have come home with gifts meant for Radha miss. I think this role was destined to come my way,” she tells us.

Kavya was aware that auditions for the role have been on for a while now and she was recently called for a look test. “The team asked me to come for a look test, so the night before, I stayed up and watched about 50 episodes of Radha Ramana to study Radha’s mannerisms and behaviour. I have a huge task cut out for me,” she says. As for taking up a role that was essayed by Shwetha earlier, Kavya says, “She was wonderful. I’m not worried about the acting bit, because I’m confident about myself. But yes, acceptance from the audience will take time because they’ve seen someone else play this role for two years. I’ve already shot for a few episodes and I’m liking it. Audiences will see me on air from Wednesday,” she sums up.
