Khushbu and Neha Desai on their 'Grahasti'...

Star Dophar is all set to launch their new venture – Grahasti, an attempt to focus on women’s hardships in today’s world. The story revolves around a family, where the three daughters of the house, choose different paths and hence the plots begin to set. The Telly Buzz team caught up with two of the girls Khushbu and Neha Desai who will be playing the roles of Simar and Soni respectively.

Khushbu plays the eldest daughter of the house, a simple girl next door, who takes charge of the family post the tribulations. “I play the elder daughter of the house, who is going to face issues once the family is left shattered", says Khushbu. Talking on her past projects, Khushbu quips, “I have been in Mumbai only for about eight months and Grahasti is my first project ever”. When quizzed about the production house and her co-actors, the actress said, “I am blessed to work with such a team. Kiranji has been like our God father here. I was quite nervous to work with him, but he eased us out and now the set has become more like a home and a family…”

Neha Desai, who plays the youngest daughter of the house, can be rightly termed as the ‘Jack of all’. Neha is a media student whose luck favored her to land on the other side of the camera. “I am playing the youngest daughter in the show. I am currently doing my post graduation in Journalism and Mass Media. I have always wanted to try out something different. I was a finance student earlier, then jumped into mass media where I learned film making, anchoring, journalism and much more, and now I am into acting. I never believed I would be playing one of the protagonists in a show on Star Plus” said the excited Neha.

On the new venture, she added, “The cast has been like a complete family to us. I was so nervous to act in the same show as Kiranji. But on the first day, he made us sit down and told us that we’re like family; being new to the industry, he gave us the confidence that we lacked.”

We wish the girls all the very best for their career in acting!!
