Barkha Bisht, Shaheer Sheikh |
Television is going to witness the TV remake of Bollywood's
classic film Mughal-E-Azam. The role of Salim will be essayed by TV's favourite
actor, Shaheer Sheikh.
Lately, actress Barkha Sengupta was approached by the makers
of the magnum-opus to play the role of Jodha Bai, who was Salim's mother. The
actress even gave a look test and was quite kicked about the show, but turned
it down later, when she got to know that she will have to play Shaheer Sheikh's
mother.
Barkha has previously essayed a mother on-screen, so she
does not have a problem in doing that again. She just didn't want to play a
mother to a 34-year-old man, when she herself is 38-year-old.
When questioned to comment on the matter, Barkha revealed a
tabloid, "I do not want to play a mother to such a big boy because I don't
think I would physically look the age and thus, would not be able to justify
the character."
Presently, Barkha is a mother of a 6-year-old girl in real.
