Erica
Fernandes
became
a
household
name
with
her
role
of
Sonakshi
in
Kuch
Rang
Pyar
Ke
Aise
Bhi.
Recently,
it
was
reported
that
the
makers
are
coming
up
with
the
third
season
with
same
actors.
Erica
is
thrilled
about
the
same,
and
recently
revealed
why
she
holds
her
character
Sonakshi
close
to
her
heart.
The
actress
told
ETimes
TV
that
the
channel
has
announced
the
third
season
and
the
fans
have
been
waiting
for
the
show.
She
added
that
the
show
is
going
to
be
good
and
a
whole
new
experience.
The
first
reason
why
her
role
Sonakshi
is
special
for
her
and
why
she
agreed
to
do
the
third
season
is
that
she
said
that
it
was
the
first
time
she
played
such
role
on
screen,
and
secondly,
the
popularity
that
she
gained
because
of
the
role.
She
said,
"Sonakshi's
character
has
always
been
very
very
dear
to
me
because
it
was
the
first
that
I
played
that
type
of
character
onscreen.
The
role
has
gotten
me
where
I
am
today.
If
it
wasn't
for
the
character
that
I
played,
I
don't
think
I
would
be
where
I
am
today.
It
does
hold
a
special
place
in
my
heart
and
that's
one
of
the
reasons
I
said
yes
for
the
third
season.
Erica
further
added,
"A
lot
of
people
till
date
have
so
many
good
things
about
the
show,
they
keep
watching
it.
Even
I
watched
the
show
again.
I
watched
the
second
season
and
it
just
brings
back
special
memories.
And
when
I
watched
the
show
it
was
so
refreshing.
I
have
never
seen
a
show
like
that
on
Indian
television
and
it
is
so
real
and
relatable.
And
at
the
same
time
it
is
so
encouraging
and
empowering.
It
makes
you
feel
oh
you
are
part
of
that
family."
For
the
uninitiated,
Shaheer
Sheikh
played
the
role
of
Dev
in
the
show.
Erica
and
Shaheer's
chemistry
was
loved
by
fans
and
they
were
nicknamed
as
Devankshi
(amalgumation
of
their
screen
names).
