Actress Shweta Kawatra, best remembered for her stint in saas-bahu sagas "Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki" and "Kkusum", will be seen as Bhayankar Pari in "Baalveer" and says fantasy space is "challenging".
"Baalveer" is a fantasy TV series for kids on SAB TV.
The actress has grown up watching fairy tales, and says she was always fascinated by the character traits, flamboyant dresses and vibrant personalities of villains in mythical tales such as "Baalveer".
"It was a pleasant surprise when I was offered the role of Bhayankar Pari. I had never imagined that I would get a chance to enact a role wherein I would relive my childhood fantasy. It's a challenging role with interesting shades and I am looking forward to it," she said in a statement.
Her character will come into play when the title character defeats Bhayankar Pari in a battle, and Shweta as the evil fairy will be reborn to seek revenge and fight with Baalveer.
