Meet the gossip queens of Jodha Akbar
Round the clock shoot schedules and a rather long commute from Mumbai take their toll on the actors who're a part of Zee TV's historical magnum opus Jodha Akbar. However, the one thing that keeps them going is all the bonding and the fun they have as a team on the sets.
Creating a Whatsapp group by the name of Chugal Mughals'đ (gossip queens), the girls on the show have found a new way to stay connected and have fun. Keeping all the men out consciously, the girls are tight-lipped of all the talks that happen on the group. The camaraderie between Paridhi Sharma, Lavina Tandon and four other female co-actors on the sets is such that the six of them always manage to find a lighter moment or a private joke to chuckle over even on the most strenuous, hectic days.
Being the notorious one in the group, Lavina aka Rukaiya Begum is the admin of the group and ensures that she keeps the girls entertained at all times. Staying away from family due to their work, these girls have managed to make a family away from their families.
Talking about the group and all the fun these girls have on the sets, Jodha Begum aka Paridhi Sharma said, "We are a fun bunch of girls and it's really nice that I've found like-minded people on the set. We actors shoot in trying situations, with little access to our loved ones and miss little things like having your family around during your meal time. The six of us make it a point to have lunch together and in fact ensure that the entire cast shares their meals. There are times, when we are shooting for intense episodes, and just one look at these mischievous girls makes me crack up and lighten the mood in general. I love these girls to bits and I hope that we stay the way we are - a mad bunch!"
Jodha Akbar air Monday - Friday at 8:00 PM only on Zee TV and is produced by Balaji Telefilms.
