Aasiya Kazi returns to TV after two years with a fantasy show

Aasiya Kazi, who was last seen in Tenali Rama, is all set to return to the small screen after almost two years. She will make a comeback with a fantasy show titled Satyajeet. Informs a source associated with the show, “The fantasy show will revolve around a child who is blessed with superpowers and becomes a superhero. Aasiya will play Aarti who will support and guide the child through his journey.It’s an important character and an integral part of the show. The show is expected to go on floors in mid-February.”
The actress remained unavailable for comment.
In a previous chat with us, while talking about how casting has started happening based on an actor’s social media following, Aasiya, who became a household name as Santu in Bandini, told us, “Many people cast actors who have an impressive social media following without realising that not all of it is organic. If this becomes a practice, where will it leave people like me who are not active on social media? I am not very active on social media and have always believed in auditioning for roles. Of course, those active on social media also put in a lot of hard work to create content, but so many good actors are sitting at home because they do not have a certain number of followers. It is heartbreaking to see talented actors not getting work. There was a time when talent superseded everything else. Despite being associated with good shows, it hurts when people do not recognise your work as an artiste.”
She added, “Frustration hoti hai, especially when people like your audition, but you lose out on a project just because you don’t have enough followers on social media. But if you are in the rat race, you will have to run or you will lag.”
