Surbhi Chandna's portrayal as Anika in Ishqbaaaz has made the actor a household name. Her chemistry with Nakuul Mehta is off the charts and is one of the highlights of the popular show. 

Now, in a recent twist of events, according to a leading news agency, Surbhi will be seen in a double role and add a comedic element to the show. 

Recently, when it comes to the plot development, Shivaay (played by Nakuul Mehta) will be seen shooting Anika with a gun. However, her lookalike will be a part the story now. 

In a statement to the news agency, Surbhi revealed, "The initial phase of Anika has always been my favourite when she was elegant yet quirky. Anika has become more poised, more so after her marriage with Shivaay.  And now, this lookalike will be the complete opposite of what Anika has been. You can say, she will be highly inspired by Aishwarya Rai's character from Josh. The character will be more funloving and will have a comic touch to it."

Are you excited to see Surbhi in a double role? Let us know in the comments below. 

Earlier, Surbhi opened up about playing Anika and stated, "I feel Anika is the biggest example of Nayi Soch because I don't see a character like Anika on Indian Television; someone who stands up for herself and who is as blunt as her. When a girl can actually fight with someone as novel and as grand as Shivaay Singh Oberoi, and can fight for her brother or her family, or anybody for that matter."

"I don't think people can gather that kind of courage but they should take inspiration from Anika. She does not wear clothes like a typical bahu, until and unless it is a requirement for the show," Surbhi added.
