Pooja Banerjee Replaces Naina Singh in ‘Kumkum Bhagya’

Even though the shoots of most of our television shows have begun, there are many stars who are apprehensive about coming out to work. The Corona scare is still lurking over our heads and there seems to be no escape but to stay inside the house.

Actress Pooja Banerjee is an actress who is very popularly known for working against the odds and this time too she is proving the same. The actor, who is currently seen in Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 as Nivedita will now also be seen in Kumkum Bhagya, where she will be replacing Naina Singh who played the role of Rhea. Yes! That’s right.

In an interview with a leading portal, Banerjee said, “I was apprehensive initially, but fortunately, the sets of both the shows are located next to each other and I don’t have to travel at all. Even my make-up artist and room will continue to be the same. It will be mainly about changing costumes. So, I don’t have to take extra precautions.”

Talking about the character, she said, “I play Sriti (Jha) and Shabbir (Ahluwalia)’s daughter. I think I look younger than my age, so that won’t be a problem. Also, Sriti and Shabbir are relatively older than my age group, so playing the part won’t be a problem. I will be essaying negative roles in both the shows and they will give me a lot of scope to perform.”

Concluding on a note about taking precautions and maintaining safety, she said, “Luckily, we are all fit and fine. It is important to take precautions and also continue working at the same time. I do not have any domestic help at home and have also decided to drive myself to the sets. I am maintaining social distancing at home and sanitize on the sets, too.”

We wish the actor all the best and complete safety.
