The makers of the TV show, ‘Thapki Pyaar Ki‘, went into a tizzy recently, when they had to alter the track overnight and zero in on a new protagonist. The show hit a roadblock after Jigyasa Singh, who plays the title role, fell ill. The actress was hospitalised after being diagnosed with swine flu.
We hear that the production house has now roped in Hunar Hale to enter the show as an ‘interim’ female lead till Jigyasa resumes the shoot.
Producer Ved Raj confirms, “Hunar is entering the show as the new heroine. Jigyasa will be out of action for at least a month. Hers is a bad case of contagious swine flu and she has been advised bed rest — that too, in isolation. Since it would have been impossible to run the show without the protagonist, we had to rope in a new one.”
So, what will happen to Hunar’s track after Jigyasa resumes the shoot? “The future of her track will depend on the feedback she gets on the show,” Ved replies.
