Pooja Shah and Nitin Ganatra hit Asian Network's Silver Street
|
In an adrenaline packed story line involving a siege, former EastEnder Pooja Shah will make her radio drama debut alongside Nitin Ganatra in 成人快手 Asian Network's daily soap Silver Street.
听
Pooja plays Nalini, a young woman who has been married off to Deepak (played by Nitin) in order to cover up a secret disgrace she has brought on the family.
听
Nalini was born and bred in the UK. Her mother feels she has brought shame on to the family and as a result, Nalini married Deepak (brought over from India) as her mother felt it was a way to restore the family honour.
听
Nalini and Deepak share a fairly good relationship. She tries to be a bit of a peace maker between her mother and husband, but it doesn't always work.
听
Deepak is treated as little more than a house servant by Nalini's mother and it's not long before Nalini faces heartache and trauma when her over-bearing mother pushes Deepak over the edge. Things soon turn ugly leading to a siege at the family home.
听
Pooja said of her new role: "I am very excited to be cast in Silver Street as this is the first radio production I have been involved with. I feel that this will be a new challenge for me and I'm looking forward to playing a new character."
听
Pooja left her regular stint as Albert Square's Kareena Ferreira back in February 2005. Since then she has appeared on stage in The Deranged Marriage and has recently been filming for The Bill.
