Paridhi
said,
"I
am
really
excited
to
play
such
an
epic
character
in
the
show.
I
am
really
thankful
to
the
makers
of
the
show
for
believing
in
me
and
choosing
me
for
this
character.
It
is
now
a
big
responsibility

portray
an
important
character
as
such."

As
Vaishno
Devi
She
further
added,
"I
believe
in
giving
my
200%
when
it
comes
to
playing
any
character.
I
have
already
started
to
watch
few
episodes
of
the
show
to
understand
the
character
even
more.
I
hope
that
audience
will
shower
their
love
and
support.
I
pray
that
Mata
Rani
showers
her
blessings
to
play
her
character
which
is
a
privilege
for
me."
First
Look
Of
The
Actress
From
The
Show
The
makers
also
revealed
the
first
look
of
the
actress
from
the
show.
Paridhi
feels
that
she
was
destined
to
play
Maa
Vaishno
Devi.
She
told
TOI
that
many
years
ago,
she
had
shot
a
few
mock
episodes
for
another
production
house
that
was
planning
to
make
a
show
on
the
same
subject.
Paridhi’s
Mother
Didn’t
Want
Her
To
Return
To
Mumbai
When
asked
whether
she
was
apprehensive
about
returning
to
Mumbai
because
of
the
Coronavirus
crisis,
she
revealed
that
her
mother
was
worried
and
didn't
want
her
to
resume
work.
Other
family
members
also
felt
that
she
should
wait
for
a
few
months
and
even
she
was
sceptical.
But
the
actress
said
that
when
she
saw
the
arrangements
made
on
the
sets,
she
felt
safe
and
decided
to
resume
work.
