Small screen actress Adaa Khan will portray a rape survivor in an upcoming episode of the "Yeh Hai Aashiqui" show. She finds the character's trauma heart-tugging.
"I have done two shows before this. After 'Amrit Manthan', I just wanted to take a break and spend sometime with my family and friends. But when the script was read to me, I really liked it," Adaa told IANS.
"It was a very different kind of role. I play a rape survivor in the show. It will actually show what all trauma a rape victim goes through. I was touched after listening about the character and that's why I accepted it," added the actress who also featured in "Ghar Ki Lakshmi Betiyann".
In the episode featuring her, Adaa plays a South Indian girl named Shubhalaxmi, who aspires to become an air hostess. She is about to get married, but she is raped and consequently her wedding is called off.
Hosted by actor Vikrant Massey, "Yeh Hai Aashiqui" deals with unconventional love stories and relationships that are considered taboo in the society.
The episode will air Sunday on Bindass.
