I received a round of applause: Aishwarya of GHKKPM on playing mentally challenged for a scene

Star Plus show Ghum Hai Kisi Ke Pyaar Meiin is riding high on success. As per the BARC chart, this week the show has secured second position with the TRP rating 3.1.

The current track of the show revolves around Harini finally accepting Devi as her mother. All credits to Virat, Sai and Pakhi who executed a play for Harini and showed her Devi’s pain. The skit had a positive impact on her and she accepted Devi. 

For this particular sequence, actress Aishwarya Sharma got the opportunity of portraying Devyani’s character who’s mentally challenged. Aishwarya aced the part and received a lot of love from the viewers.

In an exclusive chat with India Forums, Aishwarya said, “Basically, Pakhi was aware that Devi doesn’t like her much, still she went ahead to help Virat and Sai so that Harini could accept Devyani as her mother. It was an enthralling experience to act as a mentally challenged for that sequence. It’s simply out of the world. I got to play so many emotions. I felt like I’m doing theatre as the entire ambience was such, be it lighting, costumes, stage etc. As an actor I observe each and every character around me be it reel or real, and notice their nuances. I had always noticed Mitali as she played Devyani”.

Sharing about an interesting incident that happened amidst shooting this particular sequence, Aishwarya added, “When I started performing the scene, the dialogues got over but I kept improvising it and the director didn’t say cut. After a while, somebody asked the director to say cut and post the shot the crew gave me a round of applause. The director also mentioned that he didn’t feel like saying a ‘cut’. It was quite an enriching and fulfilling experience”.
