Ankita, 28, who is famous as Archana in the hit TV serial &#39;Pavitra Rishta&#39;, was supposed to star alongside Shah Rukh but things did not work in her favour as Deepika Padukone was roped in to play the leading lady in the film.u00a0 <img alt="Ankita Lokhande" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/sep/Ankita-Lokhande.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 338px;" /> &quot;I was considered for this role, so it is a good thing. It is unfortunate it couldn&#39;t happen. I don&#39;t know why things did not work out. I think there is a prejudice against TV actors. I was working on TV, and if I was considered for it is a big thing,&quot; Ankita told PTI. Directed by choreographer-director Farah Khan, &#39;Happy New Year&#39; also stars Abhishek Bachchan and Boman Irani in prominent roles. The film revolves around a bunch of male friends and how situation forces them to participate in a dance competition. The female lead will apparently play the role of a bar dancer, who will help these friends win the dance trophy. In her popular TV show &#39;Pavitra Rishta&#39;, Ankita plays a double role. &quot;It is difficult to portray a double role, change your character twice. It is tiring. I am working hard on it,&quot; she added.u00a0
