Archie Panjabi Opens Up About Rumored Faked Scene on “The Good Wife”

David M. Russell/CBS(NEW YORK) — When Kalinda, played by Archie Panjabi, and Alicia, played by Julianna Margulies, shared a final scene together on the recent season finale of The Good Wife, it almost seemed too good to be true.

After the scene aired, rumors spread online that the two actresses shot the scene separately and the final product was computer generated.

“All I can say is this: The decision making process is not something I’m privy to,” Panjabi cryptically toldE! News when asked about the rumors.

The actress, who was on the CBS drama since 2009 before exiting at the end of this seaon, did admit that “it was hard to say goodbye.” But, she added, her departure had been in the works for two years.

So, don’t expect her to return in the future. “I don’t think so,” she told E!, explaining that Kalinda, “came in as a mystery and left as a mystery.”

The plan now is for Panjabi to headline a drama pilot for 20th Century TV this spring.

The Good Wife will return to CBS in the fall.
