Iqbal Khan to step into Surekha Sikri's shoes, will play the role of an antagonist in Ek Tha Raja Ek Thi Rani!
The veteran actress, Surekha Sikri, who has been the main antagonist in Ek Tha Raja Ek Thi Rani, is bidding adieu to the show. As per reports in a leading daily, it is primarily due to her health issues. “Surekhaji has been part of the serial since its inception over a year ago. But lately, due to her health issues, it was getting a little difficult adjusting the shooting schedules according to her convenience, though to her credit, she did not complain ever. Also, the veteran actress has taken up another show and that would have made it more difficult. So, now her track will be over. She will finally give up and be shown committing suicide.”
However, this will not end the troubles in the lovers' paradise, Raja (Sartaj Gill) and Rani's (Eisha Singh) life. Surekha’s exit will mark popular TV actor, Iqbal Khan’s entry as the new antagonist.The actor will play his namesake, a guy with strong beliefs. On his new show, Iqbal said, “This guy is somebody who respects humanity. He respects women, but at the same time, he has his rules which he strongly believes in. His character is neither black nor white. Nobody is perfect, but yes he will create turbulence in the protagonist’s life.”
Reportedly, his entry will eventually lead to a love triangle with his character being obsessed with Rani. “That’s when his character turns dark,” said the source.
