By Anil Merani| Pandya Store fans must be wondering what has happened to the character of Prafulla mami, who has been missing from action since July.

We can confirm that Pallavi Rao, who plays the above negative character, has quit the show.

It was a mutual decision for my once strong character was hardly being seen. It was a bit jarring, for my track was drastically cut suddenly. I also felt hurt, for I had been with Pandya Store since day one. However, I also understand that in tv, only those tracks which generate TRP’s run.” added she

I am ready to return if they promise to use my certain number of assigned dates, which is essential for me to run my house as an artist. PH Sphere Origin, too, understood my valid concerns, so there is no bad blood,” says she.

Pallav added, “Mami was not an out-and-out negative character like my Kulfi Kumar Bajewala outing. Here, I got to play with several shades. i.e. she was an emotional, comic, cruel, furious young lady who did not bend before anyone”.

“I also jelled very well with all the young cast. ( Alice Kaushik,Kanwar Dhillon and Simran Budharup etc). Lead actor Shiny Doshi and I were thick friends and are even now. Pandya Store is a good show, no wonder it gets good ratings,” says she.

Side by side with Pandya Store, Pallavi did Nima Denzongpa for six months before it shut down,” But I always knew it was for a limited period.”

Before this, she has done several shows like Shubharambh and Main Lakshmi Tere Aangan Ki.
