Sasha will bump off Avantika!

BY VICKEY LALWANI

Not Parvati. It's Avantika, who's going to get bumped off in the bomb blast engineered by Sasha in Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii.

That spells the end of Avantika, Nivedita Bhattacharya in real life, who luckily, has another role running in Balaji's other show K Street Pali Hill.

As the story goes, Sasha (Chetan Hansraj) will plant the bomb in the car. While both Parvati and Avantika get into the car, Parvati gets off before the bomb goes off. Just a little before the death scene, she will apologise to the Aggarwal clan, saying, "I am sorry. I have realised all the
mistakes I committed in my life."

When contacted, Nivedita sounded absolutely surprised. "How did you guys know? I am not supposed to give away the details." But when Telly Chakkar insisted, Bhattacharya finally relented, " Well it hasn't come as a shock to me. I knew the graph of my character."

But wasn't the fact that she found it tough to shuttle between Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii and K Street, Pali Hill one of the reasons why her character was terminated? Perhaps after Iravati Harshe's exit from K Street, Pali Hill, Ekta Kapoor couldn't afford to let the tongues wag by showing less footage of Bhattacharya.

Bhattacharya replied, "Well, it was difficult during my early days in K Street, Pakli Hill but not recently at least."Bhattacharya says she is not going to miss the Kahaani... unit much as the two serials are shot very close to each other.

Bhattacharya also plays a pivotal role in Cinevistaas' Aayushman on Sony. The lady in question did not say, but one gets a feeling that her Aayushman schedule tended to clash with the Kahaani... schedule as well.

It would be recalled Bhattacharya had stepped into Sweta Keswani's shoes to portray Avantika's role.
