Zee TV’s popular fiction show, Kumkum Bhagya has been
an audience favourite courtesy its intriguing plot and the authentic portrayal
of relatable characters like Abhi (Shabbir Ahluwalia), Pragya (Sriti Jha), Rhea
(Pooja Banerjee), Aaliya (Reyhna Pandit), Ranbir (Krishna Kaul) and Prachi
(Mugdha Chapekar). Recently, the show witnessed a leap of 2 years and viewers
saw how everyone's bhagya has changed, in fact, Pooja's character of Rhea has
been missing from action after the leap. However, everyone is in for a surprise
as she returns having undergone a drastic transformation. The buzz is that her
new look and vibe on the show will remind everyone Kalki Koechlin's character
from Gully Boy. The actress is quite kicked about it and feels this all-new
avatar of her character could really set her apart from the usual and ordinary!
Talking about her post leap character,
Pooja reveals, “It has been more than a year
since I am playing the role of Rhea in Kumkum Bhagya and I have absolutely
loved playing the character. Having said that, Rhea 2.0, my character after the
leap, is quite different from anything I’ve played on screen till date. She
will be seen in rugged jeans and crop tops with highlighted hair. In fact, her
goth-like personality and care-free attitude will leave everyone surprised. The
character will be something no one has ever seen on TV before, and it could
really be one that sets me apart from the rest.”
She further adds, “When I was briefed about
Rhea 2.0, I immediately associated her with Sky, which was Kalki’s character in
Gully Boy. So, before shooting for my first sequence, I watched the movie again
and observed Kalki's mannerisms ... portray this version of my character to its
absolute best potential. Going forward, you’ll see Rhea as someone with an
edgy, crazy, funky personality and she will always be on her own trip, in her
own world. Rhea 2.0 is actually quite different from my personality and that
makes me more excited to play this part. It will be a challenge, but I hope the
audience will accept and love this new version of my character as much as
they've loved Rhea so far.”
While Pooja is happy with the challenge of playing a
character like Rhea 2.0, it will be interesting to see what will happen when
Rhea comes back into the lives of Ranbir and Prachi.
