Recently, Aalika, in her exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla, opened up on the success of the show and stated that she is glad to have given a nod to Mann Ki Awaaz Pratigya 2. “It feels good. I feel proud and glad that I didn’t turn down this offer. Had I turned down the offer, I would have regretted it. I was quite confused when I was approached for the show as I was thinking not to do a daily soap. It feels great that not just the previous cast has been retained but new people have joined and the youth also feels connected. So, it feels great,” she added.
When quizzed about her experience of working with Pooja and Arhaan, Aalika stated that she shares a great equation with both the stars both off and on screen. Interestingly, the diva has reunited with Pooja and Arhaan after over 7 years and she believes that their chemistry continues to be the same. Aalika said, “The best thing is that nothing changed in our chemistry in these 9 years. It is the same as it was 9 years ago. We often chill together. I met Pooja quite a few times post Pratigya. However, then we both got engrossed with our respective lives and lost touch. We didn’t meet for 7 years. But nothing changed after we reunited for Pratigya season 2.”
