Tele show Mere Angne Mein fame actress Ekta Kaul has quit the show a couple of months ago and now is all set to play a modern young free-spirited girl in the show Ghulaam by replacing Niti Taylor. 

On replacing Niti, Ekta said, "I am playing the new lead, but my role is very different from Niti's. She was playing a mild, docile girl who was easily suppressed. My role is that of a tough woman.“ Revealing more about her character, she said, “I am trained in martial arts and I know everything about self-defense. I remember hitting an eve-teaser in Chandigarh. When he tried to escape on his bicycle, I pushed him, lifted his cycle and threw it on him! So, if this role requires me to fight a male actor on screen, it will not be difficult for me." 

On choosing a show like Ghulaam, she said, “When I started watching Ghulaam, I realised that the story was different and the women characters on the show also had equally meaty roles. It is very important that women don't get stereotyped on screen. I would never want to play a typical bahu, who is constantly crying. In my previous show also, though I played a regular bahu, it was a strong character."
