Acting is all about on-screen drama - emotions, feuds, romance and fears that mimic those in our real lives. But what happens when you have to face one of your biggest fears for a role on-screen? In every aspect of life - especially acting - fear can creep in and get the best of you. And that’s what happened to Kanika Mann when she had to face her fear on the sets of MX Serial Roohaniyat Chapter 2.
Describing her biggest fear, Kanika shared, “I'm afraid of any water body, be it a pool or the ocean. And for this one scene in Roohaniyat, I had to be in the pool with Saveer, but I just couldn't do the scene properly. I tried to get over the fear but kept getting distracted by it, eventually they had to bring a body double to do the scene."
But that wasn't the end of it as Kanika further adds, "I was standing close to the pool when Arjun just pushed me into the water. He thought it'll help me conquer my fear. To be honest, it did to some extent, but I'm still afraid of water.”
Kanika essays the role of Prisha, a naive 19-year-old girl who believes in eternal love. In the turn of events, she falls for someone completely opposite, a 38-year-old man, Saveer (Arjun Bijlani) who despises the very idea of a love that lasts forever. Roohaniyat delves into this rocky relationship between two opposite mindsets.
This season will see Prisha confessing her love for Saveer. Will he reciprocate? Will her story go as she planned? To know more, tune into the show now!
