This Is What Erica Fernandes Has To Say On Comparisons With Shweta Tiwari For Kasautii Zindagii Kay

First teaser of Kasautii Zindagii Kay has gone on-air featuring Erica Fernandes as lead. After doing successful TV show ‘Kuch Rang Pyaar Ke’, Erica will be stepping in Prerna’s shoes which was originally played by Shweta Tiwari. Actress is now talking at length about show and her character with media portals. In an exclusive conversation with pinkvilla Erica talked about bagging the role and on being compared with Shweta Tiwari.

Recalling the moment when makers finalized her to play the iconic role of Prerna in the show, Erica shares how she was kicked about it.

“When I was told that I will be playing Prerna, all I could think of was Shweta ji in her black salwar and red dupatta.. then I thought to myself it would be a different experience playing and portraying a person who cannot be with the one person she wants to be with. The emotions are going to be completely different. It will be a challenging character to play. I was and am really kicked about it,” said Erica.

Sharing her first reaction when Ekta told her “Erica, you are my Prerna”, Erica said- “When I was first asked by the media if I was doing Kasautii .. at that point of time I was nowhere in the picture for the show. I was a part of Balaji but for another project and had to do a mock test for the same. Ekta Ma’am saw that… and said those golden words … “mujhe meri Prerna mil gayi “ and that was music to my ears!”

On being asked if she is nervous on getting compared to Shewta Tiwari who originally played the iconic role of Prerna, Erica said- “I am more kicked about this character than nervous. Yes, comparisons are gonna be made, for sure. But I will just say that she was yesterday’s Prerna and I’m today’s Prerna and both are going to be remembered and never forgotten”.
