In 2016, Erica Fernandes finally arrived on the scene with her big television debut ‘Kuch Rang Pyaar ke Aise Bhi’. The TV serial focused on the relationship dynamics between a mother and son when the son falls in love and gets married.

Along with her sizzling chemistry with co-star Shaheer Sheikh, Erica made the audience fall in love with her character ‘Sonakshi Bose’, a strong & independent woman. So unlike the regular run of the mill shows, Kuch Rang Ke was an instant hit among the masses for focusing on a niche subject.
