Good-looking actress Niya Sharma who was seen in &TV’s Vani Rani in the role of Nandini has bagged the meaty role of being paired opposite the witty and wise Tenali in SAB TV’s Tenali Rama!!

Yes, you heard it right!!

We all know by now of the lead girl Priyamvada Kant moving out of the show, as she did not want to play a mother.

This news made headlines few days back when Priyamvada stated that she was extremely happy with the journey of Sharda, but the probability of the leap and the creative thought of making her character mother to a kid, did not appeal to her. Hence she decided to quit the show.

Well, with her moving out, the search was on for the new Sharda.

We at IWMBuzz.com have got to know exclusively that it is Niya Sharma who has bagged the role now.

As per a credible source, “Shoot with Niya will begin soon. The post leap phase will show Tenali and Sharda being parents.”

When contacted, Niya told IWMBuzz.com, “I have always wanted to do comedy. In real life too, I am very good with my sense of humour. So I am very happy that I got to explore the comic genre onscreen too.”

We reached out to Producer Abhimanyu Singh (Contiloe Pictures) but did not get revert till we filed the story.
