Broken But Beautiful 3 Director Priyanka Ghose Reveals Why She Didn't Watch Sidharth Shukla's Previous Works

Mumbai, June 16, 2021: Sidharth Shukla made his digital debut with the recently released romantic series, Broken But Beatiful 3. The series is directed by Priyanka Ghose, who said that she deliberately didn't watch any of Sidharth's previous work before directing him in BBB3. ## "I had heard of Sidharth but not seen any of his work. The minute I knew I was doing this project, I googled him and thus became aware of his popularity. However, even though there were ample videos online for me to check out his work, I refrained", Priyanka tells IANS. ## She further revealed the reason and said that she didn't want to make a preconceived image of the actor, who had previously worked in tv shows like Balika Vadhu, Dil Se Dil Tak, among others, and also starred in Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt fronted, romantic comedy film, Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania. ## "I didn't want to be tainted with a preconceived image of Sidharth while we were drafting the story and building Agastya (the character Sidharth plays in the series). I was hoping he would come and pleasantly surprise me with his own interpretation of Agastya. My hope turned to trust the first time we met for his narration", Ghosh said.## "The best part is he was so grounded. He had zero airs of a star and we immediately hit off a comfort level where we understood each other's interpretation of the story and the character and were in fact on the same page regarding vision and the aesthetics", she added.## Broken And Beautiful 3 is created and developed by Ekta Kapoor. While the first two seasons had Vikrant Massey and Harleen Sethi in the lead roles, season 3 starred Sidharth Shukla and Sonia Rathee as Agastya and Rumi respectively. The show premiered on May 29 on ALTBalaji and MX Player. ## Stay tuned...
