Preetika Rao is now Baba Aaliya!

Preetika Rao, who plays Aaliya Zain Abdullah on ColorsTV's Beintehaa, has recently been nicknamed 'Baba Aaliya' by the cast and crew of the serial. The reason for this new identity of Preetika, is her secret and unique passion- palmistry and astrology!

Preetika Rao's unusual hobby, apparently started from her childhood days, when she showed keen Interest in palmistry and the mesmerizing world of astrology. Though she has taken the path of acting, following the footsteps of elder sister Amrita Rao, she is always ready to pursue astrology in her spare time either on the sets or at home as a hobby. Her passion for astrology is so strong that sometimes she cannot resist asking people to show their palm!

Preetika is truly gifted. Her instincts have worked in favor of many people and her predictions have come true in many cases.', says a source. In fact, Preetika's forecasts have earned her such credibility, that her co-actors and even the technicians of Beintehaa wait for her to come to the shoot. After all, who would not want to see what their future holds for them! Preetika, after working in a couple of films down south, chose to enter the Telly world, unlike her older sister Amrita Rao, who ventured into Bollywood.

Now, with Preetika's television debut Beintehaa doing well, and the show having recently completed 100 episodes, we wonder if she had prophesied this too!
