Actress-politician Smriti Irani turned down a role in Ekta Kapoor's promotional series 'Ek Thi Naayika' since she was reluctant to portray a courtesan onscreen.
Now, Sakshi Tanwar will play the character, while Smriti will feature in another story in the same show.
'Ek Thi Naayika' is a thrilling eight-part promotional series for Vishal Bhardwaj and Balaji Motion Pictures' upcoming supernatural thriller - 'Ek Thi Daayan.'
