Shital New Character in Kituu soon

Looking for support

This SaharaOne daily has her playing the mentally unstable character of Kajal, the younger sister of Sanwari (Shubhaavi), who is Kituu's (Ami Trivedi) bhabhi. "Kajal is a psychotic character. She's a bit crazy; a troubled person," explains Thakkar, who has started shooting for the drama.

Adds producer Manish Goswami, "Kajal enters the household after she has been dumped by her husband. Though there is this deep-rooted hatred for her sister, Sanwari, she turns to her for support as she is roofless.

Kituu is a bit wary of her, though Kajal manages to make her presence felt in the household. She is friendly and warm to all; at the same time she starts problems in the house."

Balanced sketch

Thakkar, who makes an entry in Kituu next week, says, "I had worked with Manish Goswami earlier, in Aashirwad. So when I received a call from him for Kituu, I knew there would be something substantial for me. Nowadays on the small screen, you either play out-and-out negative characters, or sugary- sweet roles. This one has shades of both —something which is not too visible nowadays."

Thakkar, who made her acting debut in her student days in Swabhimaan, was later seen in Parivartan, Aurat and as Preeti in Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii. "I prefer to do shows which I am comfortable with, and characters which I am really happy to play. There is no point doing just any show just for the sake of it," says.
