Mahi: I deserve a pat on my back for Nakusha
Buzz up!

Kavita Awaasthi /Hill Road Media

Mahi Vij, aka Nakusha of Laagi Tujhse Lagan, is looking at a new scenario for work these days. With the lead of the show Mishal Raheja no longer playing Datta, the love story of Nakusha and Datta has come to a standstill. Looking forward to interesting twists in the show, Mahi relives her Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa experience and wants a surprise on her birthday.

In Laagi Tujhse Lagan, Dutta has gone missing, and new characters will be brought in. Does it upset your rhythm on the set, with the character or is variety spice of serial?
A new storyline is planned ahead and it is very interesting. I will miss Mishal on the set and in the show. It was a great working experience with him and even the audiences loved our pairing. The show has been doing well and I know in the future too the audiences will enjoy of Laagi Tujhse Lagan.

How was Mishal as a co star?
He is a good competent actor as we all know and on the sets too was friendly with everyone. We all used to have lunch together so sure I will miss that. He would bring prawn curry for me which I love- I will miss that. [laughs]. But seriously he made a mark as Datta and the audiences loved him a lot.




Who are you most friendly with on the set?
Aashaka Garodia, Vinay Sapru and Swati. We all hang out together and chat during breaks. Mostly you end up making friends with co stars and few stay with you even after a show is over.




How easy or difficult was it to relate to the character Naku- who was portrayed as a dark skinned girl, and later as a fair skinned girl ?
It was difficult to get into character as not only it required me to be a meek girl but even the physical transformation took a toll. To put on the heavy pancake everyday in a dark colour which affected my skin and my mood was tough. I deserve a pat on my back for attempting this role.


What do you think about people who are obsessed with fair skin?
Perhaps white skin is attractive, looks good and is perceived as beautiful. Or maybe we are conditioned from childhood that white is pretty.


How do you look back on the Jhalak experience?
It was tough, really tough and very entertaining not only for me but for the audiences as well. I enjoyed myself in that grueling schedule. I learnt a lot about dance and its numerous forms. Jhalak helped me increase my fan following immensely. That is one thing I thank Jhalak for. It also presented my real self to the audiences. Handling a daily soap and a reality show was dramatic and fun.

Do you feel like a dancer now?
Yes- now I do. I learnt so much about dance which I never knew existed. I planned to continue my dance classes but doing a daily soap I hardly get time to learn dance. Maybe sometime in the future.

Which for you was your best performance and toughest?
Every dance was tough for me as I had to work really hard. I loved doing all dances but learning two acts in one week was a difficult task. I loved my emotional performance in Dil Mile Bina Hi. I thought it was the best I did- dance wise, emotion wise.

It is your birthday on 1st April. What are your plans?
I don't have any plans yet. I expect Jay [Bhanushali] to give me a surprise though he is bad at romantic surprises. But he is learning. So I am expecting something fun and cool.

Thanks a lot for posting this. If not from MR, we get to hear from his co-star that he has indeed left. Sigh. I doubt that viewers like us will find the future tracks interesting without the person who has actually made the show what it is, in it. Was waiting for such an article. I guess in a way she is right. MR has made his mark as Dutta Bhao. Shame he exited in such a disturbing fashion. Onwards and upwards. Best of luck to him. 😊

Thanks for sharing!

All the best Mahhi...Hope the interesting storyline works at least for your sake!

Funny how she did not even mention Mishal in her list of closest co-stars in the sets. 😕Maybe because he left now...Whatever..Life is never fair! Or I am just too depressed right now!

Thanks for sharing the article, Armu.
Right now I am emotionally exhausted to react to it. 😕 Guess i am still in a denial mode. But thanks to MV, I can read in between the lines and it confirms my fear....

Interesting story line .. for whom? I won't be around to see it even if they paid me big bucks to do so.
