I was also shocked to see Kruttika Desai, one of the oldest TV actresses, as part of Zee's daily Tumhari Disha. I don't know what exactly she's meant to be. But that she plays a wicked woman is proven by her snazzy wig and glinting contact lenses. The other day Ms Desai had a man hanging on to her lips. For some strange reason the lover's identity was concealed from the camera.
Another veteran on TV is Sukanya . I remember seeing her as director Ashutosh Gowariker's wife on a horror show called Woh on Zee some years ago. Now she's back making so many evil faces in Tumhari Disha that you wonder if her facial muscles are insured.
Thank God for Zarina Wahab who plays the protagonist Disha's mother. She remains graceful under the most unimaginable pressure put upon serial actors. Last week during a confrontation sequence between Sukanya and Disha, Zarina remained bunched in her squirmy dignity, not willing to ham even as it became the practical norm all around her.
