Jasmine in India Calling on star one

Sushmita Daan is all set to fit into Keerti's shoes. Well, not quite literally the talented actor has replaced the character of Mini didi in Star One's India Calling. As of now, the show is revolving around Chandni's love story and in the coming

episodes will showcase her bonding with Mini didi once again after a span of a few months.

Mini didi's character who was a drug addict has recovered from coma now. "I will play one of the prominent characters in the show, there's going to be a lot of sister bonding and the chemistry is going to be shown very nicely. After all Chandni comes to Mumbai from Jalandhar in search of Mini didi. The track will revolve around both the sisters and how eventually I have an affair and gets married," says Sushmita who also plays a journalist in Sony's Vaidehi and will have a salwar kameez and jeans-kurti look.

So, what made Sushmita take up the offer?
" I've always wanted to work with Rose Audio visuals and earlier I'd been getting offers from them but nothing meaty enough. This happened to be a nice role and also it is one of the main characters," smiles Sushmita whose claim to fame has been Star Plus's Saans years back.

The actor got the offer last week and started shooting for it on 26 August and will enter the show on 29 August. Keerti Gaikwad was unavailable for comments (she was busy rehearsing for Nach Baliye2).

" We last shot with Kirti in February when the track concentrated on the love story. She couldn't hold on to her dates as she got busy with other projects and the show requires about a week to ten days. Sushmita is a good actor and we've been looking for an opportunity to work with her," says producer Shrishti Arya Behl.

Here's hoping the re-entry of Mini Didi does good to Chandni and the show!
