Karishma Randhawa: Happy to play Tara Vadhera
The actor who is seen in Mahi Ve on Sab and was last seen in Hello Dollie is playing the daughter of a multi-millionaire business tycoon and a Harvard graduate who comes to India to her father's company.
Aditya and Tara connect instantly as they share similar interests, tastes and beliefs, and come from the same background.
"I play a young, energetic, chic, understanding and urban sweet girl who comes to the call centre because her father has some stake in the company. She's not a worker in the company but she comes to learn from the people. It's about how her friendship grows with Aditya. It's not a negative character rather I play the parallel lead and the look is very much like my own self in the show," says Karishma.


The story proceeds with Aditya (Vipul Gupta) totally in love with Chandni but also shares a wonderful rapport with Tara. They grow to become best of friends. Kamini Khanna (Nigar Z Khan), Aditya's bhabhi, on the other hand are keen that Tara and Aditya marry.

Karishma Randeva
Karishma Randeva (the former Sonu of Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii) is free from SabSony's daily, Maahi Ve. Karishma now joins Shrishti Arya's India Calling, on Star One.

Maahi Ve is coming to an end and Randeva has already shot her last scene for the serial. Says an insider, "The show started with a lot of promise, in December. But things did not go as per plan."

Advance notice

Said Randeva, who played Preeto in Mahi Ve, "Producer Binaifer Kohli was sweet enough to inform me that the show was coming to an end in May. She told me in April, and even added that I could start looking for roles elsewhere."

What's her role in India Calling? "I will play Tara, a new character— very urbane and positive. Soon, my character will share some chemistry with Adi (played by Vipul Gupta). I have already started shooting for India Calling," she added.

Producer happy

Producer Shrishti Arya offered, "Karishma looks very fresh and good. I have seen her in Hello Dollie and Maahi Ve, and she's simply fantastic.
Actually, I had been talking to her since some time, but she was busy with Mahi Ve."

"To begin with, I will be giving about 20 to 25 days in a month to India Calling. Later, I will shoot only for 15 days. That would leave a window for me to take up another show if I want," Randeva signed off.

This happened at the time of my birth. After I was born, my mother did not come out of her anesthesia-induced stupor. The doctors had been trying to help her regain consciousness. However, when she did come to, she recounted everything that had happened since the time of my birth till the time she regained consciousness. She said that while she lay unconscious, she could see and hear everything that happened around her. She recalled that her body was floating on the ceiling and she could see the doctors trying to wake her up and take a look at her beautiful daughter. The doctors said that my mother had had a near death experience.

Karishma Randeva's working birthday
By: Chaitanya Padukone
May 27, 2006

Karishma Randeva India Calling actress Karishma Randeva was so caught up with her hectic shooting schedules that she had to cancel plans to celebrate her birthday on May 23. "Last year, I had a rocking party, with a lot of my friends from television," says Karishma. This time, too, my colleagues thought I would be chilling with them. But I was busy shooting for India Calling till nearly 11 pm that night, and had to call it a day, after pack-up. Of course, my production unit and co-stars joined me for a surprise cake-cutting on the sets, during a brief break," says Karishma, who seemed elated about her "two advance birthday gifts in the form of new serials". Grey role The actress elaborates on her roles. "Recently, I have signed India Calling (on Star One), where I play Tara — a role with shades of grey. She's a savvy business partner and I share office space with Aditya (Vipul), even as she exudes warm vibes for him. This creates a sense of nagging insecurity for the lead character, Chandni (Mansi) who is drawn to him. And in her role in Suno Harr Dil Kuchh Kehtaa Hai (Sahara One), Randeva plays a "stubborn, bitchy Nikita Singhania, who, when obsess- ed with something or someone, makes sure she gets what she desires, by hook or by crook. My stylish character tries to snatch away Rahul (Romit Raj) from Ambika (Niyati Joshi), by creating friction between them," she discloses. Sweet to nasty Randeva seems to get a kick from being nasty on screen. "All along, I used to be at the receiving end of the stick, always indulging in rona-dhona. But now, the tables have turned. This time, I get to indulge in some menacing masti and create havoc. It's great fun, because there's so much scope for improvisation while playing vampish characters. And I am always dressed to kill, which a positive character would not allow. I am thrilled that I could defy my soft-'n'-sweet image and prove that appearances can be deceptive," she chuckles.
