Ahaan.. Good.. But i think Nia Sharma is more suited for a bubbly character... This character of Aaliya is more subtle, sweet and person of action... And Preetika has played it to the T..

But then again its an actors potential to how much he/she can get into the character...

I'm not sure who Nia Sharma is, but looove Preetika as Aaliya, can not think of anyone else playing Aaliya

She used to come as Maanvi in a star plus show bout two sisters.. Ek hazaaron mein meri behna hai...

She is somewhat sinilar to Sana Saeed who was in Jhalak Season 5...

Yeah Preetika is amazing.. Her chemistry with Zain clicked in fhe first place...

Sometimes for the young audience, an actresses offscreen persona does affect how they view them on TV. Atleast for me it does. Nia's personality would not be suited for Aaliya, a muslim girl. Preetika plays it with ease as if she was born to do it . I just wanna add...I read an interview of Nia's where she said she is being offered all the current shows, but is taking her time. I am glad she refused this one because it wouldn't be good for her career either since it's not her cup of tea. Wish her all the best with all the shows shes being offered.

Thanks to God she didn't finalize the role!. *phew*

I am very happy!.

It's not like I hate Nia Sharma or something!. It's just she doesn't makes a good couple with Harshad 😳

Nia is no doubt a good actress but Preetika is surely a better choice for the role of Aliya Ghulaam Haider :)

Obviously coz Preetika too had 4 offers...and HarshIka were to do some other show before but this one happened before that...

A lot of actors are simultaneously approached for every show and film when the casting process is going on...Nothing to brag about...its all about who eventually landed the role and did justice to it..

Its not as if the character was written keeping her in mind or something that they are making a huge deal of it in the media... M sure many others mightve been approached too...
