Talking about playing Veebha who is going through an emotional and mental breakdown being the victim as well as the accused, Shikha shares, “From the roles I have previously played on the screen, this character is different as well as challenging for me. The genre that pertains to horror takes a lot of energy and is mentally draining for artists.” She emphasizes, “Today, the scripts have become content driven which enhances an actors’ performance and makes it look flawless. The entire dynamic of a horror show gives an actor, a variation in the roles that they get to play on the screen. Laal Ishq definitely gives me an opportunity to showcase much more talent than I would on a daily soap.”

Saas-Bahu dramas and supernatural shows both have their own struggles and makes it challenging for us actors to project our best for our viewers. Also, looking at the content that the makers are bringing forth in today’s times it is very essential for them to showcase variety. Today, content has become the king of the industry, the viewers will watch the show if it has good content and adds value to their viewing. Accepting this challenge and showcasing it on the screens, the makers are doing an exceptional job.”
Talking about her own beliefs in supernatural elements, Shikha said, “I do believe that a parallel universe exists and that there are energies around us that affect us in a good or a bad way. These energies have a great impact on our day to day life as well.”
