Preetika
Rao,
who
plays
Aaliya
in
Zee
TV's
Beintehaa,
has
recently
been
nicknamed
'Baba
Aaliya'
by
the
cast
and
crew
of
the
serial.
The
reason
for
this
new
identity
of
Preetika,
is
her
secret
and
unique
passion-
palmistry
and
astrology!
Preetika
Rao's
unusual
hobby,
apparently
started
from
her
childhood
days,
when
she
showed
keen
interest
in
palmistry
and
the
mesmerising
world
of
astrology.
Though
she
has
taken
the
path
of
acting,
following
the
footsteps
of
elder
sister
Amrita
Rao,
she
is
always
ready
to
pursue
astrology
in
her
spare
time
either
on
the
sets
or
at
home
as
a
hobby.
Her
passion
for
astrology
is
so
strong
that
sometimes
she
cannot
resist
asking
people
to
show
their
palm!
'Preetika
is
truly
gifted.
Her
instincts
have
worked
in
favor
of
many
people
and
her
predictions
have
come
true
in
many
cases.',
says
a
source.
Infact,
Preetika's
forecasts
have
earned
her
such
credibility,
that
her
co-actors
and
even
the
technicians
of
Beintehaa
wait
for
her
to
come
to
the
shoot.
Afterall,
who
would
not
want
to
see
what
their
future
holds
for
them!
Preetika,
after
working
in
a
couple
of
films
down
south,
chose
to
enter
the
Telly
world,
unlike
her
older
sister
Amrita
Rao,
who
ventured
into
Bollywood.
Now,
with
Preetika's
television
debut
Beintehaa
doing
well,
and
the
show
having
recently
completed
100
episodes,
we
wonder
if
she
had
prophesied
this
too!

No
Bollywood
Calling
For
Preetika
Though
Preetika
ventured
into
films
like
her
older
sister,
she
chose
to
make
her
HIindi
debut
with
the
small
screen.
Striking
Resemblance
The
two
beauties
resemble
each
other
a
lot,
looks-wise.
Both
the
sisters
have
also
maintained
low-profile,
girl-next-door
images.
The
Glam
Image
While
Amrita
Rao
chose
to
shed
her
homely
image
and
incorporate
some
glam
in
the
recent
times,
Preetika
has
chosen
to
remain
the
sweet
girl.
Modelling
Career
Preetika
has
come
a
long
way
from
her
modelling
days.
She
is
most
remembered
as
the
Cadbury
girl
in
the
Cadbury
Chocolate
ad.
