Bhopal lad Rafi Malik to play male lead in Desh Ki Beti Nandini!
Few days back actor
Ravi Dubey was being touted as the central character in
Sony TV’s upcoming show
Desh Ki Beti Nandini. But latest report suggests that Bhopal-born
Rafi Malik has been chosen to play the male lead role opposite
Keerti Nagpure.
“We
finalised Rafi for the lead role as we were looking for a fresh face.
The character of Rajveer Raghuvanshi (Rafi's character) belongs to a
royal family and has that sophisticated air about him. Rafi suited the
character perfectly as he is from Bhopal aur usmein woh nawaabon wala
tashan hai,” said sources from the show.
Graduated from the
Bhopal School Of Social Sciences, Rafi was also among the finalists in
Gladrags MegaModel Hunt
in 2011. He is excited about the debut show and said he is happy that
he has starting acting career shooting in my hometown. “I started my
career as a model and I'm elated with this break. The makers were
looking for a new face, and I got lucky. I was also offered a role in
Mahabharat, but this interested me more as I'm playing the lead. And
it's a happy coincidence for me. I'm starting my acting career shooting
in my hometown. I couldn't have asked for more,” said the newbie.
It
is reported that the shooting of the show, which is based on Delhi
background was held in Bhopal. They captured scenes from city's malls,
lakes and
Shahpura's
Rainbow Treat. The makers preferred to shoot in Bhopal as they found the weather of
MP more pleasant. Likewise, Rainbow Treat was converted into Delhi's Paranthe Wali Galli.
One
of the team members added, “The show is based in Delhi, but it becomes
very difficult to shoot there outdoors because of the sultry weather.
So, we've come here. Bhopal is a shooting-friendly city. In the entire
schedule, we never faced any problem and things went off very smoothly.”
We wish you win many hearts Rafi!
