Kasautii Zindagii Kay has once again found a place in people's everyday routine. Ekta Kapoor recently launched a sequel to the original show titled Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2. The show stars Pooja Banerjee, Erica Fernandez and Parth Samthaan in lead roles. Now in a recent interview with SpotboyE Pooja Banerjee has revealed that her fans are often surprised to see her in person. She said that her fans are scared of her reel life role of Nivedita Basu whereas she is nothing like that in real life.
She said, "People feel surprised that I am playing Nivedita Basu. They come and ask me, 'aap sach mein wahin hai jo Nivedita Basu bani hai?' Because I just can't get angry in real life and on-screen they see me in such an avatar. Post the show, people have started getting scared of me, thinking that Pooja na abhi daant degi. In fact, Sahil who is playing my husband Anupam in the show, also keeps telling me that people come to him and say, 'hame aapse bast karni hai but dar lagta hai Nivedita daant degi agar aapse baat karenge to' (laughs). People are taking my character so seriously. As soon as my scene gets cut people present there see such a big transformation in Pooja Banerjee. Me in real life and me in reel are poles apart."
She also said that she wanted to bring her own touch to the show. "Offer milne ke baad to bilkul nahi dekha because I knew their will be high chances of comparison between the two. Not just me, entire cast knew whenever a remake is made, the audience often compares them with the old ones. But I didn't want that comparison for myself. I wanted Nivedita Basu to be a complete different character. So, that the audience can get to see a new Nivedita Basu, which you all are already seeing," she concluded.
