Chhavi stays put, but unhappy playing a mother in Ek Boond Ishq
While walking on the path of life, one will experience many twists and turns. And as they say, the only thing that is certain in life, is uncertainty.
As per reports from credible sources, Chhavi Pandey, the female lead of Life OK’s Ek Boond Ishq (BBC Worldwide Productions) was on her way out of the project. Reason? She was not keen on playing a mom after a leap sequence.
But better sense prevailed and after a mutual discussion between Chhavi and the creative team, the exit situation was salvaged, and as per latest reports received by us, the actress has decided to stay put.
“It’s true that I was apprehensive about continuing with the show when I was informed about the plot taking a leap and me mothering a five year old kid. Ek Boond Ishq is only eight months old and at the time when Mrutyunjay and Tara’s love story began to blossom, the creatives thought of taking a leap. I was not happy at all with the progress,” said Chhavi.
She was miffed with the production house’s sudden plan to turn things around conceptually.
“I had a word with the channel and after discussing and giving a lot of thought, I decided to stay on. I still stand by the fact that I am not happy with the leap and playing a mother. But me continuing with the show has some primary reasons to it…firstly, I am a very professional actor and Life OK has given me an opportunity to showcase my talent and has taken care of my comfort at all levels. I cannot back off from my responsibility when it comes to giving back to what the show and channel requires. They have supported me a lot to become what I am today. Secondly, I have a gained a lot of fan base in a short span of time who adore me as Tara. I should not disappoint them by quitting and getting the character replaced. I feel confident and inspired when my fans appreciate me.”
She continued: “Also, when I see a veteran actor like Vishwajeet Pradhan playing a transgender which is a tough challenge, I thought why can’t I accept essaying a mother a challenge and continue with the show? I would rather take up this challenge and prove my ability of how I can be a versatile actor. I just hope fans will support me in my new journey.”
Chhavi, we too hope that you focus on the role and come up trumps.
