Pooja
Banerjee
is
looking
forward
to
the
upcoming
leap
in
her
Zee
TV
show
Kumkum
Bhagya.
In
a
chat
with
Filmibeat,
Pooja
revealed,
"The
creative
team
has
assured
me
that
it
will
come
out
very
well.
There
will
be
many
changes
to
my
character.
You
can
call
it
her
2.0
avatar."
The
actress
had
replaced
Naina
Singh
last
year
as
Abhi
(Shabir
Ahluwalia)
and
Pragya's
(Sriti
Jha)
daughter
Rhea
Mehra.
"I
never
analyse
my
offers
i.e.
whether
my
character
is
fresh
or
has
been
there
from
the
start.
I
should
like
what
I
am
doing.
Period," she
said.
"I
love
that
Rhea
is
no
typical
goody-goody
gal.
She
has
many
layers
and
mood
swings.
Yet
I
had
to
be
careful
not
to
go
overboard,
for
she
is
still
the
daughter
of
Abhi
and
Pragya," added
Pooja
who
has
earlier
been
seen
in
shows
like
Nagarjuna
-
Ek
Yoddha
and
Dil
Hi
Toh
Hai.
Upon
being
asked
on
how
her
bonding
is
with
her
co-stars,
Pooja
revealed,
"Unfortunately,
since
I
came
onboard
during
the
pandemic,
I
have
not
yet
had
the
time
to
gel
with
others.
When
I
first
started;
I
was
only
bothered
about
taking
care
of
myself.
But
luckily,
our
production
house
Balaji
Telefilms
takes
social
distancing
very
seriously.
They
call
us
to
set
only
when
our
sequences
are
there."
When
asked
about
the
constant
fan
war
between
Abhi-Pragya
and
Dusri
Pidhi
(Rhea
and
sister
Prachi
essayed
by
Mugdha
Chaphekar),
she
says
it
would
be
unfair
to
mix
apples
with
oranges.
The
former
is
the
soul
of
Kumkum
Bhagya.
Yet,
I
would
say
that
with
the
daughters
growing
up,
their
romance,
which
is
the
leitmotif
of
any
show
should
be
given
more
prominence."
Pooja
is
looking
forward
to
the
Kumkum
Bhagya
unit
returning
to
Mumbai.
They
had
moved
to
Goa
to
beat
the
Coronavirus
lockdown
in
Maximum
City.
"I
am
so
missing
my
bed
and
my
car.
But
now,
with
most
of
the
cast
getting
the
vax
(vaccination),
I
soon
hope
to
mix
with
all
my
stars."
Unlike
others,
Pooja
Banerjee
has
no
qualms
about
playing
grayish
characters.
She
had
impressed
one
and
all
with
her
performance
as
Nivedita
Basu
Sengupta
in
Kasautii
Zindagii
Kay
2.
"Next,
I
would
like
to
return
to
the
positive
lead
groove.
An
actor
should
be
willing
to
try
all
kinds
of
roles."
After
Casino
(Zee
5)
and
three
seasons
of
Kehne
Ko
Humsafar
Hain,
she
is
also
open
to
more
juicy
web
projects.
"I
am
among
the
few
actors
who
have
been
successfully
able
to
juggle
both
OTT
and
TV.
Even
in
Kumkum
Bhagya,
I
have
brought
particular
web
elements
like
natural
acting
as
far
as
possible."
