"Initially, I was hesitant to be a part of 'Karamphaldata Shani'..." says Tinaa Dattaa

Tinaa Dattaa, who plays the role of Damini in Siddharth Kumar Tewary's Karamphaldata Shani, says she was initially hesitant to be a part of the show, however, today she is happy. "Portraying Damini was a challenge for me and I love accepting challenges. Initially, I was scared whether I will be able to pull this off and if I will be able to do justice to the character. But God is kind as my fans immediately accepted me as Damini. Of course, it's difficult doing a mythological show, it's 20 times more hard work. The costumes, jewellery are so heavy. The dialogues and the delivery of the dialogue is extremely different from that of a daily soap. Honestly, it took me some time to get a grip on my character," she says.

Her chemistry with her co-actor, Rohit Khurana has been appreciated. "Rohit Khurana was my first co-actor in Uttaran as well. It's always a pleasure working with him. He's professional and a fantastic actor. People loved us in Uttaran and they accepted our chemistry in Shani as well. I just pray that they keep showering their love on both of us," she says.

Meanwhile, Tinaa took some time to get into her character and would even take longer to get ready. However, not anymore. "Initially, when the look wasn't sorted, it used to take me 1-1.5 hours but now I do get ready in 30-45mins," she says.

Tinaa says that it's a pleasure to be working with Siddharth as well as Rahul Kumar Tewary. "Makers Siddharth Kumar Tewary and Rahul Kumar Tewary are extremely talented and I am honoured that they considered me to be a part of this show. I shoot in Umbergaon and I stay there, yet I hardly miss my home. A big thanks to Siddharth and Rahul for believing in me that I can do justice to my character," she says.

We wish the actress more success for the show and pray that she continues to make a splash with her talent.
