Besides an interesting backdrop and concept of the show, we had told you another interesting fact- Divyanka Tripathi could have played Sonakshi instead of Dipika Kakkar. SpotboyE.com had revealed that the show was offered to Divyanka as well and she was on-board. However, later citing date problems she had to opt out and that’s how Dipika bagged the role.

Now, in our recent chat with Dipika, the Bigg Boss 12 winner confirmed this news that Divyanka, indeed, had almost grabbed the show. Dipika also narrates how it all unfolded and finally the show came to her.
“It was destined to come do me. I remember before entering Bigg Boss house, Sandip had discussed about this show to me. He even told me that he is considering me and Divyanaka for it. In fact, one more girl was in his mind. He asked me to give a look test but unfortunately we didn't get time to do that as I had to go inside the Bigg Boss house. So, after the reality show ended, I thought that by now the project must have gone on floors, as it was already 4 months after our first discussion. But one day, suddenly Sandip called me saying that the project has not gone on floors as Divyanaka was finalised and ready to shoot but due to her date issues she had to back out. So, that’s how it came back to me and I am extremely happy about it. I remember when I heard the brief of the show for the first time, the thing which came to my mind was, ‘I wish I could do this,’” Dipika revealed.
Well, not just Dipika Kakar, we’re sure her fans too are glad the show came back to her.
