Actress Sameksha Singh, who was last seen in POW (Prisoners Of War), is playing the role of the gorgeous Olympia in Siddharth Kumar Tewary's (Swastik Productions) 'Porus', one of the biggest shows on Indian television. The production house has searched quite long for Olympia's role and finally zeroed on Sameksha. Sameksha, who was already slim, worked on her physique to look leaner.

Sameksha Singh says, "Queen Olympia is a beautiful character to play. She was a queen and was stunning. I wanted to look perfect for the role so I went into a special diet. Apart from the physical transformation I have also done voice modulation." The introduction scene of Olympia is quite unusual. Sameksha adds, "In my introduction scene, I will be raped by my husband Philip and the scene has been directed by the man behind this magnum opus show, Siddharth Kumar Tewary. I have done films in my career, so I know how to enact that situation and it has been done in a very professional way. My director was also very happy that I have done justice to the role and the situation."
