It is customary to expect Sudha Chandran aka Ramola Sikand of Kahiin Kissi Roz to scheme and plot. However, the lady has everybody in for a surprise as now she will appear in an all new positive avatar.
With Zee TV's Tumhari Disha, her on-screen personality is all set to turn over a new leaf. Producer Rupali Guha shares, "Sudha Chandran will play the role of Vasudha. She is an old woman who is abandoned by her children. She is shown to enter the show when she saves Disha (played by Chavi Mittal) from an accident. Hence, Disha starts to like her and she becomes a mother figure to Disha and DK."
Chandran is obviously overjoyed and tells us why she took it on, saying, "One is that the character that I get to play is very interesting and second, I have a close association with the makers of the show. I have known director Yash Chauhan since Kahiin Kissi Ros days. Also, the fathers of both the producers Rupali and Pintoo Guha (Basu Chatterji and the late Dulal Guha respectively) are big names in the industry."
Chandran, synonymous with flashy bindis and sarees, will undergo a complete makeover for this project and will appear wearing simple sarees. Guha says, "For this role, we have given her a simple look unlike the way she has been portrayed until now because it's a positive role."
In times when story lines change often, will Chandran's character stay positive or eventually turn negative? "Well, we haven't really thought that far," laughed Guha. "But there will be lots of drama," she assures.
Chandran has begun shooting for her new role and is scheduled to appear sometime next week. She is also playing the deceased mother to five daughters in Hum Paanch (earlier played by the late Priya Tendulkar) and will also be seen in Priyadarshan's film Malamaal.
