Priya Bhajita in Vikram Betal

The saga of story-telling by Betal to Vikram commences from 24 May. In the first tale, Priya Bhatija-Shah plays a princess.

Talking about her role, Priya says, “The story is titled Sonprabha ki kahani. I play princess Sonprabha. The basic plot is that Sonprabha’s father is looking for a groom for her daughter. There are three princes and a raakshas (demon) who is interested in me. On the day of swayamvar, all three princes show up. The demon kidnaps me and takes me to a secluded place. The three princes now try rescuing me. Now, who will Princess Sonprbaha marry? For that you will have to see the episode.”

So, how was it to work in a mytho?

“It was really good as this is the first time that I’m playing a mythological character. Also, it’s first time that I got to play a princess. I shot for six days in Baroda. Though it was a pleasant experience, I’m not too keen on playing such characters more as you’re often required to shoot outdoors. For six days, I was shooting under temperature of 48 degree Celsius. I’ve played varied characters be it a typical Muslim girl in Khwaish or the cunning Ganga in Kasamh Se. So, I’d like to keep the trend going.” said Priya.

Viewer can watch Priya in tomorrow’s episode (24 May) of Vikram Betal at 11.00 pm on Colors.
