Zee TV’s popular fiction show Kumkum Bhagya has taken a leap of two years and Pooja Banerjee’s character of Rhea will now be seen in a new avatar.

Sharing details, Pooja says, “It has been more than a year since I am playing the role of Rhea and I have absolutely loved playing the character. Having said that, Rhea 2.0, my character after the leap, is quite different from anything I’ve played on screen till date. She will be seen in rugged jeans and crop-tops with highlighted hair. In fact, her personality and care-free attitude will leave everyone surprised. The character will be something no one has ever seen on TV before, and it could really be one that sets me apart from the rest.”

She adds, “When I was briefed about Rhea 2.0, I immediately associated her with Sky, which was Kalki Koechlin’s character in Gully Boy. So, before shooting for my first sequence, I watched the movie again and observed Kalki’s mannerisms, to portray this version of my character to its absolute best potential. Rhea 2.0 is actually quite different from my personality and that makes me more excited to play this part.”
