She said, “My biggest fear when I signed this Garima Productions project was that will I be able to enter into Shilpa’s shoes? She is a great actress. Also the other main thing was that show has been already running successfully for one and a half year, so would I be able to fit in the groove?”
Shubhangi added, “I made it very clear to the creative from day one that I will do the character in my own way and what also worked in my favor was the fact that as I had not seen the show before, I did not have any preconceived notions as well. I am glad that the public like my work. Recently I went to a mall and some people came forward and asked you are Koyal right? I felt content that my work is getting recognized.”
The actress, who was seen in shows like Kasturi and Do Hanson Ka Jodaa, said, “I never like to replace anybody. Whatever issues Shilpa had I don’t want to comment on them. But as they say the show must go and that is what I am doing.”
Meanwhile, Shubhangi is all praise for her Chidiya Ghar unit, “They all are very cooperative and helpful.” It was heard that Shilpa had some issues with co-star Debina Bonnerjee. But Shubhangi said, “No she is very friendly and warm. In fact, we spend most of our time together as we share the make-up room. If in the future some problems do arise, I will try to sort them out as I believe in having a positive atmosphere on the set and not making things ugly.”
That’s quite professional!
