Parakh Madan entered the Smriti Irani-starrer Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2. The 43-year-old actress is playing the role of Niyati, who is the ex-girlfriend of Tulsi’s deceased son, Ansh. She has an illicit child out of wedlock with Ansh, named Reyansh, aka Rio. The son’s role is being played by Akashdeep Saigal, who also played the role of Ansh. Rio looks exactly like Ansh. Well, the casting has now become an interesting topic to debate on social media and meme material for trolls. Parakh is 43, and she is playing a mother of 51-year-old actor Akashdeep. In fact, Smriti Irani is younger to Sky. Recently, in an exclusive interaction with Zoom/Telly Talk India, Parakh Madan revealed if she was apprehensive to take up Niyati’s role, as she is a mother to Rio,
who is being played by a 50-plus actor.
Parakh Madan On Playing Mother To Akashdeep Saigal
During a candid chat with us, we asked
Parakh Madan about the trolls and her decision to play a mother to Akashdeep Saigal. She said that she was not at all apprehensive to play the role. The actress said, “Not at all. As an actor, my job is to step into the skin of a character, not to mirror my own birth certificate. The look and age of actors/characters are matters that the makers and the creatives handle, and I have full faith in them.”
Parakh Madan’s Message To Trolls
When asked about the trolling for Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 casting, Parakh Madan said that she is least bothered about it since she believes in doing her job with conviction.
The actress said, “Akashdeep recently addressed this topic in an interview and called it 'just noise'. And I somewhere agree with it too. Reactions are definitely important, but getting affected by the negativity is not an option if we have to keep doing our jobs convincingly. Also, in today's industry, being "meme material" isn't always a bad thing—it means people are watching! The show is currently topping the viewership ratings, so even the trolls are contributing to the buzz.” Earlier, Parakh told us that Niyati is a complex character, and she is definitely going to create havoc in Karan and Nandini’s lives with Rio. It looks like the upcoming episodes of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2. The Ekta Kapoor-produced show also features Amar Upadhyay, Hiten Tejwani, Gauri Pradhan, Sumeet Sachdev, Aman Gandhi, Shagun Sharma and others in key roles. Stay tuned for more updates!
