In fact, everybody was saying, even from Balaji (production house) that she should do it. “I would have told her to go ahead and do it. In her earlier interview, Shweta had also said that she was not ready to do a daily soap. When I went home I asked Palak whether she was interested, but she said she can’t do a daily soap because it involves too many hectic hours and also that she was studying. It was the Balaji people - we were at someone’s house who works in Balaji, at a very prestigious position, and they said, ‘If we offer Palak Kasauti will you let her do it?’So I said ‘I’ll have to ask her first. Shweta, who was in Delhi for her play Jab We Separated that is directed by Rakesh Bedi, explained how the confusion happened. Within days of the interview, show’s producer Ekta Kapoor reacted to the news and wrote, “Aaah reaaaaaly? How come I don’t know.”


As Kasautii Zindagii Kay reboot is all the news, there was a mini-controversy as the show’s original Prerna, Shweta Tiwari, said in an interview to Hindustan Times that her 17-year-old daughter Palak Tiwari was approached to play her role in the reboot.
