The younger Pihu (Amrita Mukherjee) has made the character popular and loved – Sonia Balani

The young and cute lass Sonia Balani aka Pihu can be seen taking care of a little baby on her show Bade Achhe Lagte Hain on Sony Entertainment Television. The serial by Balaji Telefilms has seen the birth of a little girl, who is being mothered by Pihu, for that’s the last memory of her husband Sammy.

We get into a conversation with the girl to know more about this changed track in the show.

Laughingly the girl quips, “I am not playing a mother, it’s just that the baby is an obsession for her. Being the last remains of her husband, Pihu is very possessive about the child and with Suhani (Ekta Kaul) in jail, the baby has been left in Pihu’s care.”

On being comfortable playing a mother in case of yet another leap, the girl states, “Not really. If it’s a year or so, it is fine with me but not more than that. I just play a 22 year old girl, logically that would just be too over the top. I had already made it clear with the creatives that I would not want to play a mother on screen.”

Sonia, who started her career with Suvreen Guggal, seems satisfied with the way her character has shaped up in the show. “I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in the show and it has been a very satisfying journey. I have learnt so much in my stint in BALH and have also made great friends.”

Talking further about her bonding with co-stars, Sonia quips, “I think this show has the best co-stars. Sakshi maam (Tanwar) and Jai sir (Kalra) have been a huge support and guide for all of us. As for the young team we have become really good friends and have an amazing time on sets.”

When asked whether the brand of the show or her character helped her gain popularity, the girl quickly chirps, “I think it’s the character. Of course the show has always been popular, but the young Pihu (Amrita Mukherjee) has made the character so popular and loved that people got instantly connected to it.”

And finally when asked what kind of roles she would want to play next, she says, “I have done a chirpy young character in Suvreen, a grey one in BALH, so I would like to try something interesting and different next, although I haven’t thought much about it. I would love to do something like Kangana’s (Ranaut) role in Queen.”

We wish you great luck, Sonia!
