Actress Khushi Dubey opens up on comparison to Deepika Singh-Diya Aur Baati Hum fame

Actress Khushi Dubey, earlier seen in Star Plus’ show
Aakh Micholi, in a media interaction revealed that she is being compared to Deepika Singh of Diya Aur Baati Hum since day one of her show.

In the midst of her conversation when asked if she ever felt uncomfortable on being compared to Deepika Singh, the actress shot back- No, that’s not even in the picture since our characters were poles apart.

Ccharacter of Rukmini and Sandhya character was way quite different to that of Sandhya. The only similarity she assumed is of the zeal of both the characters to become an IPS officer but this is something you will see in every IPS aspirant. So she isn’t aware of being compared to Deepika

Anyway with all due respects to her acting and her talent , she really respects Deepika as her senior and loved her performance in Diya Aur Baati.

But having said that, the character sketches of both these characters were very different, so the comparisons do not come in the picture.

Further, when asked if the audience were in no mood to accept the show because they compared it with Diya Aur Baati Hum, the actress affirmed that ‘as far as being compared to Diya Aur Baati Hum is concerned, the only similarity is that the girl is an IPS aspirant and the boy has a tea stall.

There is a huge difference in their life style, their personalities and how they overcame these differences. Apart from that, when it comes to Aankh Micholi, there was also a love triangle with a fellow IPS officer which was not seen in Diya Aur Baati.

Infact, right from the trailer to the execution, everything was different. When seen on larger the only thing similar was two different people coming together, apart from that there was nothing common. And if it you say that people found it difficult to accept the show then let me tell you, the audience 10 years back might have liked family drama than they liked it today.

Today’s youth and the audience of television has evolved and their perspectives have changed, their mindsets have broadened. Diya Aur Baati was a little on the orthodox side as compared to Aakh Micholi.”

Aankh Micholi saw Khushi Dubey and Navneet Malik helming the show. The show could not survive the TRP race and failed to garner numbers, as a result of which, it was axed shortly after its commencement.
