Shobna Gulati, who plays Sunita Alahan on Coronation Street, was interviewed this morning on ITV's Daybreak about Sunita becoming the new Rovers Return barmaid in Corrie.
She says it's very daunting and Daybreak showed the VT of Sunita serving Dev in the pub, recommending he has a small brandy rather than a large one - very funny indeed! "You'll have drunks making passes," Dev warns his wife, jealous as anything. Shobna says Sunita loves winding up Dev by dressing up as a busty barmaid.
Shobna talks about the difference it makes working behind the Rovers Return bar, and it changes the way an actress behaves, she says it makes her feel very different as an actress. She's been taught how to pull pints by Michelle Keegan (Tina) and Michelle Collins (Stella).
She also talked about how great it is to have Michael Le Vell back on the set of Coronation Street, which was lovely to hear.
And... oooh!... she revealed that Sunita will be puckering up with another fella, someone who's not Dev. Wonder who it could be?

Somehow i can't picture her behind the bar aside from winding up Dev! I wonder if they're grooming her to take over the food service post-Betty as well. They don't usually have so much staff otherwise
I dont know of any Asian ladies that would stand behind a bar, bosoms on show pulling pints. Sorry but I find Sunita along with the rest of the Alahans a bore.
Wonder what the aunties would think of a provocatively dressed Sunita, pulling pints in a pub?
I do like Sunita, i must say. Always did but Dev is a panto character.
