Shritama Mukherjee, who started out with character roles in shows such as Dekha Ek Khwaab, has now bagged the prized part as lead in Ekta Kapoor’s next, Kuch Toh Hai Tere Mere Darmiyaan. In a chat with us, the actress insists that the show is nothing like Ekta’s saas-bahu soaps.
Can you tell us something about the show?
Kuch Toh Hai Tere Mere Darmiyaan is a different concept if you compare it with the other shows. It is the journey of three individuals and their love stories. In my opinion, the show is youth-oriented, but it caters to family audience as well.
You have bagged the role of the main lead and you’ve also played character roles. How has the journey been?
Kalash was my first show with Balaji and after working on it for two months I was signed on for Kuch Toh Hai Tere Mere Darmiyaan as a lead. I got a call from Ekta ma’am and she asked me if I would play the lead of her show for Star Plus. I couldn’t believe it. I am really grateful to Ekta ma’am for giving me the opportunity to play a lead role after performing parallel leads in her previous shows.
What’s next in the pipeline?
I have signed a three-year contract with Balaji so for the next two years, I don’t think I can think of taking up anything else besides this show.
