Nishigandha: Chehra has got class
Nishigandha Wad, who was last seen in Waqt (Sony), is back on TV with yet another show called Chehra (Star Plus, Mon-Fri at 10.30pm). Nishigandha talks about her character's importance and how she manages doing both Hindi and Marathi serials.
Tell us about your role in Chehra.
I am very grateful to Yashji and Mamtaji of Beyond Dreams (the show's production house). They had faith in my ability to portray the role of Nirmala. There are a few important characters on the show and Nirmala is one of them. I play Garv's mother. Her family has a huge business empire. She has an idea of what her bahu should be like. Her first bahu is a Page 3 socialite and so she wants a girl like that.
How is your character different from other motherly roles on TV?
She is a strong woman who does not breakdown if her family is in a difficult situation. She holds the family together during trouble and is strict too. Her husband is ill so he is not in a condition to handle the business. Therefore, this woman takes charge and manages the family. Her husband is brilliant too.
Tell us about the plot of the show.
It is not just a suspense thriller. There are two families and the drama revolves around them. Every character has a mysterious side to them. They all have different shades to their character just like the people in our lives. Not one of them is goody-goody here. My character will be angry, happy and so on; she mirrors daily life. It is all very human.
What do you think about the unique title of the show?
It is suitable for the story. It was suggested by the channel and the production house. The creative team was also involved in deciding the title. We are here to present our Chehra to all of you.
Nishigandha is also doing another show in Marathi. She says "It is difficult to manage two dailies together so I will not be able to accept any other show now. In between, I did do a show for Rajshree productions. Then I was offered this. I accepted it because I liked the character; it is not a routine serial. The atmosphere is very nice here and the show has got class.
