Avika Gor on Laado going off air: Every day, I had to convince myself to relate to the character
Avika Gor's latest show Laado - Veerpur Ki Mardaani is going off air on May 25. In an interview, Avika got candid about how she was displeased with her character and the arc of the show.
Avika Gor, who rose to fame with the show Balika Vadhu tried to create a spark in her latest TV show, Laado - Veerpur Ki Mardaani. However, the magic could not be created and the show could not get good TRP's.
Laado will be going off on May 25 and in an interview with The Times of India, Avika spoke in detail about the show going off air and also spoke about how she was not happy with her character and the arc of the storyline.
Avika said, "Initially, I was in awe of my character, Anushka, who is a strong, independent and educated woman. I have always wanted to play an inspiring character. However, the script that was narrated to me turned out to be different from what unfolded. Too many changes were made too soon."
The changes came in Ammaji (Meghna Malik) died in just a month rather than the planned 4 months storyline. After that Yuvraj, (Shaleen Malhotra) was killed off the show and in turn, a new character (Siddharth Arora) was roped in. The location also changed abruptly from Veerpur to Chandigarh.
Reportedly, Avika wanted to leave the show a while back because she found her role unconvincing. "Every day, I had to convince myself to relate to the character. There have been scenes where I wondered why Anushka would behave the way she did, given that she is a lawyer. There was no logic to what I was doing. Had they told me that this show, too, would be like my previous show Sasural Simar Ka, which was all about chudails and daayans, I wouldn’t have questioned them on the logic. In short, I didn’t expect the story to turn out the way it did. But then, it’s a huge brand and I have learnt a lot from the experience," Avika stated.
