Late Reema Lagoo was last seen in TV show Naamkarann in which she played the role of a possessive mother.
The role she had been played now will be portrayed by Ragini Shah who said, "When I got the call I blanked out totally. But the producers were desperate because the current wedding track is pivotal to the show and they needed a replacement urgently. It is still hard to believe that a happy-go-lucky person like Reema who was shooting on Wednesday is no more."
She also said, "Maheshji (Bhatt) came to meet me, along with producers, to explain the role. This is the first time I’m replacing someone but Maheshji told me to think of Dayawanti as a new character. Everyone is helping me."
"Dayawanti is strong, and unpredictable, I think I will enjoy playing her,” she says.
"Reemaji was always open to suggestions. I respected her a lot and will dedicate this performance to her," she said in last.
