Hinduja, who is playing a very positive
mother in the hit Zee TV show, Kundali
Bhagya (Balaji Telefilms), does admit that
her and her family's track has been side-
lined for the past one month, with Prithvi
(Sanjay Gagnani) and Sherlyn's (Ruhi
Chaturvedi) characters taking centre stage.
"But I am sure this is only temporary, and
very soon, we will be back with a bang,
she adds.
"Rakhi is a typical Punjabi mother, whose
only agenda in life is to get her older son,
Rishabh (Manit Joura) married, and to
tame Karan, the younger one (Dheeraj
Dhooper).
When asked as to what makes Kundali
click, she says, "I guess it is the twists and
turns, which leave viewers guessing, what
will unfold next? No track is ever
completed as well. For e.g. if it looks like
Rakhi will finally expose Prithvi, then
somehow he will again pull the wool over
her eyes.
Anisha, who has been around in the
industry for over a decade, has no qualms
about playing mom to two grownups.
"When you are above 35, you don't get
any other role anyways. But yes, meaty
characters are a given. Like here, apart
from being a mother, Rakhi also enjoys
romantic moments with her husband,
Mahesh (Navin Saini). Her other notable
shows have been Ishqbaaz, Mohi and
Annu ki Ho Gayi Wah Bhai Wah.
"Being around so long, the creative gives
me leeway as well, e.g letting me change
nonsense lines, which are often given to
me in Kundali. Here, I must thank Ektaji
(Producer Ekta Kapoor), for allowing me
the space to come out of my above
negative stereotype.
Looking ahead, she would be game for
doing web series that offer differentiated
content, but she would not be
comfortable doing bold stuff. "Comedy is
on top of my bucket list, for I have the
required comic bone and spontaneity.
In closing, when asked about character
artists getting less name and money as
opposed to leads, she says, "Well, fans do
ask for selfies when I go out. And yes, the
attention on Instagram also shows that
my character is loved.
