Smilie Suri to make her TV debut

Smilie Suri, best remembered for her role in Kalyug is all set to make her TV debut. She will be seen playing Akbar’s first wife Rukaiyya Begum in Zee’s upcoming historical show Jodha Akbar, says a source. Smilie confirms saying she will be entering the serial in the eight or ninth episode. “It’s a challenging role and I am working hard on it.

The character is not only interesting, it’s very different from the girl-next-door types that I have played so far. Rukaiyya is an important part of Akbar’s life. She was his best friend, almost like his mirror,” she adds. Besides the serial she is shooting for a film Smile Please.
