‘Change in characterization’ makes Urfi opt out of Jiji Maa; Charu Asopa comes in

Urfi Javed will not be entering Jiji Maa owing to a change in character. Instead it will be Charu Asopa entering Jiji Maa.

Star Bharat’s popular show Jiji Maa produced by Jay Productions will see a hugh high point with the apparent death of Uttara Devi (Pallavi Pradhan) and the entry of a girl in the life of Suyyash (Dishank Arora).

We had earlier reported about Urfi Javed playing the role of the modern and sophisticated lady who would get into the house to snatch everything from Falguni (Tanvi Dogra).

But the news coming is that Charu Asopa has been brought in for Urfi, after the character was changed as per the script demand. Charu was last seen in Laado – Veerpur Ki Mardaani.

As per sources, “The character was earlier to be modern and sophisticated. But now, the girl coming in will be more Indian and will probably have a rustic avatar.”

When contacted, Urfi confirmed the news saying, “I was finalized for the role, but the character was changed once I was brought in. Earlier, I was roped in to play a modern avatar. But the character has been changed into one wearing gagra cholis and having a rustic look. I am not keen to doing such roles. I will never look the role they want. Hence I opted out.”

We buzzed Charu but could not get through to her.
