Reema Worah replaces Afreen Alvi in Shubh Laabh - Aapkey Ghar Mein

A replacement has taken place in the show, Shubh Laabh – Aapkey Ghar Mein. Reema Worah has been roped in to play Maya, a character that was played by Afreen Alvi so far. Interestingly, Reema was the original choice for the part. However, the actress couldn’t take it up back then owing to prior commitments. Reema says, “The makers had approached me in August for the part.However, they took time to get back to me and I had taken up another project in the meantime. But I am glad to be a part of Shubh Laabh eventually. I was quite happy when Kinnariji (Mehta, producer) told me that I was the first choice for the part.”
The actress says that it won’t be a challenge to strike a chord with the audience as the new Maya since she is quite similar to the character. She adds, “Like Maya, I am also pampered by my family and friends (smiles). If the makers believe that I fit the bill, then I am sure that the audience, too, will like me as Maya. I didn’t prod much about what happened between the makers and the previous actress. I was told that she quit owing to personal reasons. I am more focused on my work than trying to find other details.”
Reema plans to bring in her own style to play the part. “I haven’t seen her (Afreen) work on the show. I will approach the character the way I want to. I won’t do what she did as Maya. Now, it’s my character and I will play it in my own way. Since it’s very much like me, you will see a glimpse of how I am in real life in Maya,” she concludes.
Reema has been a part of several South Indian films, Hindi movies and TV shows like Bharat Ka Veer Putra - Maharana Pratap, Mariam Khan - Reporting Live, Ek Duje Ke Vaaste 2, Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 and Naagin 6.
