The very strong character of Richa Thakral, which was first played by Mona Wasu and later replaced by Sonia Singh on Colors’ Parichay has always been in the headlines. One got to see that Sonia has taken the role from Mona and replaced her but few of you know that Sonia was the only choice of the production house to play the character.

Playing very energetically her part on the show, Sonia opines when asked the facts behind the replacement. She avers, "Yes I was the first choice for the role. It so happened that I had given my look test but after that I didn't received a call from them. I thought they must have finalized someone else. But at the back of my mind I wanted to do this show. I then signed Rajshri's Yahan Main Ghar Ghar Kheli.

She added, “Before doing so I had messaged the production house of Parichay about the same. However, I didn't get a reply from them immediately. After a while I did get a call to act in Parichay but I was already committed to Rajshri. But later on when they contacted me again for the I immediately grabbed the opportunity to play the role of Richa”.

You are perfect for the role Sonia.
