TOI:Madirakshi's 'light' avatar on TV show

Siya Ke Ram

Actress Madirakshi, who was usually seen donning elaborate costumes and jewellery in popular mythological show "Siya Ke Ram", will next be seen in an all new avatar wherein she will flaunt "light weight costumes and minimal jewellery". As per the upcoming sequence of the show, Ram (Ashish Sharma) and Sita (Madirakshi) will go for exile along with Lakshman (Karan Suchak). "We will so begin shooting for the journey that will mark the beginning of Sita and Ram's love story in true sense, the 'Vanvaas' (exile). We all have been shooting in very beautiful and elaborate costumes all this while. "The designer did a fabulous job but the weight of the costumes always made it very difficult to walk. I am glad that the 'Vanvaas' costumes are light and would not take much time for us to get ready," Madirakshi said in a statement. The makers are said to have done extensive research to get the perfect look for the actress and also what kind of jewellery that she should wear. "Ever since the show began, it has taken three hours to get into my look as Sita and believe it or not, most of my costumes weigh as much as me," she said. "Especially the lehngas that I am wearing as Ayodhya's newly wedded bride weighs approximately 25-30 kgs and the entire look put together with the hair and dupattas is equivalent to my weight. As much as I loved dressing up, I am really looking forward to the light weight costumes and minimal jewellery as it'll also take me lesser time to get ready," she added.

Talented actress Sanyogita Bhave who essays the role of Manthra in Siya Ke Ram is all set to utilize her free time now, to mend her healt. Well, with Ram (Ashish Sharma) going for his vanvaas, Sanyogita will be getting a break from the show. The lady will only be wanted later on, as per the script. And Sanyogita has decided to go for an immediate muscle treatment for her back problems which she obtained owing to the bent posture needed to play Manthra. Confirming the news, the spokesperson at Reel Castle, the celebrity management company that handles Sanyogita's work told us, "Yes, Sanyogita has had a lovely experience doing Siya Ke Ram. It was her first mythological show, and she is happy with the way it shaped up." Addressing her health issues, the person said, "Well, a kind of rigidity to the back is needed to play Manthra, and the constant bending posture has taken a toll on her back. She will now go to a place in Karnataka called Udupi, for a Detox and muscle treatment for her back."
