Namah Actress Chhavi Pandey: ‘I Was Shocked To Know Vikkas Manaktala Has Left The Show’ - EXCLUSIVE
Namah lead actors, Chhavi Pandey and Vikkas Manaktala have quit the show and SpotboyE.com broke the news to you a few days back. We already told you what Vikkas had to say on his exit, and now, we bring to you Chhavi’s reason to quit the show
We broke the news of STAR Plus’ Namah lead pair, Vikkas Manaktala and Chhavi Pandey quitting the show, a day back. The reason for Vikkas to leave the show was the sudden shift in the storyline, which previously was focussed on the friendship of Mahadev (played by Vikkas) and Lord Vishnu (played by Savi Thakur) and now will be based on only Lord Vishnu and titled as Laxmi-Narayan.
After we heard that Chhavi (who played the role of Mahadev’s wife, Parvati) too has quit the show, we got in touch with the actress to know the reason for her decision. The actress told us, "With the recent developments in the show I was not sure about any kind of growth for me. The concept earlier was based on the friendship between Lord Vishnu and Mahadev. But unfortunately audience didn't connect to it and it resulted in bad TRPs. After which, a creative call was taken to focus only on Lord Vishnu’s story. Now, since track will be about Vishnu, Mahadev and my character, of his wife, Parvati, will not have much scope in the show, hence, I decided to quit.”
Chhavi also added that she was quite shocked to know about Vikkas’ exit. “When the show failed to generate high TRPs in the first two weeks, an internal meeting between the channel and production house took place to decide the course ahead. However, we were unaware of any change until I reached the set one day and came to know that Vikkas is no more part of the show and that was a big shock for me. I was not prepared for it. Hence, I went to my creative producers to ask about my track and they told me as per the creative call, the show will focus on Lord Vishnu’s story now. So, I had got the clarity that what is going to happen. So, I decided to bid goodbye on a positive note.”
We had also told you that the new actors who will be stepping into the shoes of Vikkas and Chhavi are Tarun Khanna and Rachna Parulkar respectively.
Ask Chhavi about Rachna replacing her and the actress says, "I don't know her personally but have definitely heard her name before as we are from same industry. I wish her and the makers of the show all the best and hope things work positively for them after the change.”
We also got in touch with Rachna to know what she feels about this new journey and she said, "I am not replacing Chhavi but yes I will be a part of the show as the new Parvati as they have changed the entire story line and the actors. Will start shooting after a day or two.”
