MUMBAI: Manmohini is doing well for itself. The supernatural show, which airs on Zee TV, is being loved by the audiences for its storyline and the character of Manmohini.

Reyhna Malhotra is playing the character of Manmohini and she is nailing her role. However, according to reports, Samiksha Jaiswal, who is known for the show Zindagii Ki Mehak, was supposed to play the role, but she turned it down.

Speaking about the same, Samiksha told SpotboyE.com, "Producer Prateek Shah called me for his show Manmohini when my serial Zindagi Ki Mehak was about to end. But, I was scared to play Manmohini (Chudail), so I didn't say yes to it.”

The supernatural genre has made a place for itself on the small screen. So, considering the same, why she wasn’t comfortable playing a chudail on screen? The actress told the portal, “I know and somewhere I regret also for not saying yes to the show. Manmohini is doing so good. But it was my personal choice so I can't complain. I remember when Manmohini came I felt the pinch that ‘mujhe yeh show karna chahiye tha’. But then, I explained to myself that we should always go with the thing which touches your heart instantly and that character didn't convince me at that point of time, so it's okay.”

Speaking about Samiksha’s upcoming project, she will be seen in the same producer's show, Bahu Begum.
