Did we hear it right? Kokila Modi aka Rupal Patel might leave the famous daily soap Saath Nibhana Saathiya 2 very soon! It so happens that Rupal’s contract was for limited episodes only and the tenure has already come to an end. Rupal’s character as Kokila Modi is one of the most famous characters on the show. Her iconic dialogue rasode mein kaun tha that turned out to be an epic meme was only a small snippet of her stardom. Her fans sure are going to miss her!
Rupal is considered as one of the major reasons for the show’s high TRP. Obviously, the makers of the series are well aware of the damage that Rupal’s exit from the show can cause. Hence, they are trying their best to extend her contract. According to media reports, Rupal signed the show for the initial 20 episodes. She will exit the show by mid-November. However, the makers have decided to convince her to continue the show but Rupal is yet to make a decision.
Quite recently, the makers of the show had taken advantage of the social media fame SNS had garnered through Yashraj Mukhate’s meme. They went ahead and recreated the entire rasode mein kaun tha scene and dropped a teaser promo for the same!
Well, the makers did a pretty smart job by roping in Rupal to reprise her famous character in SNS 2. While talking about her new (old) role, the actress said in an interview earlier, “I am very excited and I am reliving all those memories as Kokila Modi. This time the new family has also been introduced so I met them as well and I must say, it has been an emotional journey for me. My best wishes to the makers and the producers and I request the fans to shower as much love as they did in the earlier show.”
Reportedly, Rupal had said yes to SNS 2 while she was still working in Yeh Rishtey Hai Pyaar Ke, another famous daily soap on Star Plus. Rupal was actually working two shifts simultaneously. “You won’t believe it but I have not taken a single leave on my own in the last one and a half years from the show. My aim is always to give my 100%. Hence, honestly, I was a little nervous initially as to how will I manage both the shows because both characters are central and important. But Star Plus channel took a stand and assured me that they will work things out and ensure the pressure does not entirely come on me, and I can work on my terms. I have the support from both my producer and the channel and that boosted my confidence more,” added the actress.
Well, as now Yeh Rishtey Hai Pyaar Ke has gone off-air, concluding its last episode on October 3, we can expect Rupal to consider extending her contract with Saath Nibhana Saathiya 2. We sure want some more memes on her iconic dialogues!
