Why
Barkha
Refused
To
Play
Shaheer
Sheikh’s
On-screen
Mother?
Barkha
Bisht
was
quoted
by
Tellychakkar
as
saying,
"I
do
not
want
to
play
a
mother
to
such
a
big
boy
because
I
don't
think
I
would
physically
look
the
age
and
thus,
would
not
be
able
to
justify
the
character."
Gurdeep
Kohli
Approached
To
Play
Jodha
Now,
Gurdeep
Kohli
has
been
approached
to
play
the
role
of
Shaheer
Sheikh's
on-screen
mother,
Jodha.
The
actress
was
last
seen
on
TV
show,
Sethji.
She
was
also
seen
on
Ekta
Kapoor's
show,
Kehne
Ko
Humsafar
Hain.
Gurdeep
Doesn’t
Mind
Repeating
The
Act
On
TV
Having
played
a
mother
on
her
previous
shows
as
well,
she
says
that
she
doesn't
mind
repeating
the
act
on
TV.
The
actress
was
quoted
by
TOI
as
saying,
"I
can't
keep
waiting
for
a
mature
love
story
to
come
my
way.
Roles
should
be
written
for
senior
actresses
as
well."
Is
She
Apprehensive
About
Playing
Mother
To
A
Grown-up
Actor?
Shaheer
is
just
a
few
years
younger
to
Gurdeep,
when
asked
whether
she
was
apprehensive
about
playing
mother
to
a
grown-up
actor
and
she
replied,
"Not
at
all.
I
have
no
such
qualms.
Though
the
age
difference
isn't
much,
I
have
worked
for
more
years
than
Shaheer."
‘People
Have
Seen
Me
Mature
As
An
Actor’
"People
have
seen
me
mature
as
an
actor,
so
they
offer
me
roles
keeping
that
in
mind.
Also,
this
is
a
historical
show
and
we
know
that
women
would
get
married
at
an
early
age
back
then.
The
Actress
Is
Excited
About
The
Show
"It's
a
strong
character
and
I
am
too
excited
to
play
the
part.
I
am
a
mother
of
two
in
real
life
and
so,
maternal
love
comes
naturally
to
me.
That
makes
it
easier
to
portray
my
character
with
conviction."
Gurdeep
Prefers
Playing
Mother
To
A
Son
Than
A
Daughter
The
actress
says
that
she
prefers
playing
a
mother
to
son
than
a
daughter.
She
says,
"I
prefer
playing
mother
to
a
son
than
a
daughter.
That's
because
a
mom's
track
often
ends
abruptly
on
shows
after
the
daughter's
marriage.
I
think
about
all
these
aspects
before
taking
up
a
role."
