Confirming the news to Bombay Times, Roopal revealed, “I am excited about coming back with a strong character. She is as fearless and progressive as Gunjan, and has been inspired by Kareena Kapoor Khan’s role in Satyagraha.”

While Gunjan entered the industry in 2008 and has been a part of shows like Dill Mill Gayye and Ek Nayi Choti Si Zindagi, her true calling came in the form of Sapne Suhane… as that was the show that made Roopal a household name. Not a Good Day for Good News Actor Kareena Kapoor Khan, Receives Heavy Backlash for Alleged Rude Behaviour Towards Paparazzi

Roopal was also in the news for her relationship with her co-star Ankit Gera, which turned into a controversy as it was revealed that Ankit was simultaneously dating Adaa Khan and had two-timed both the ladies. After the show ended, Roopal also was a part of Bigg Boss 9, but was eliminated in the initial weeks.

After Bigg Boss, Roopal, who took a long break before coming back to work, told the daily, “I had neglected my health because of hectic shooting schedules, and finally, my body gave in. I started gaining weight and was depressed, which I wasn’t aware of until I got myself checked. So, I needed to change my lifestyle, and healing took a lot of time. Daily soaps can be exhausting and it was important to recharge myself before starting a new project.”

“Hunting for good work also took long. It took some time to clarify that I was ready to take up a show, as a lot of people had assumed I wasn’t, because I was on a break. So more than difficult, it was about the right time and patience. Now, I have a proper fitness routine and am healthy, both mentally and physically,” concluded Roopal, who is very excited for her role in Shakti.
