Comedy cannot be taught-Sucheta

She's best known for her comic roles in shows like Shubh Mangal Savdhan and The Great Indian Comedy Show and the afternoon drama series Vishwas will now be seen in the highly anticipated Kadvee Khatti Meethi, the second installment of the hit comedy Tu Tu Main Main. In this tete-a-tete, Sucheta Pawse talks about her great expectations from the show, the fantastic unit and much more.

Let's start with your role in Kadvee Khatthi Meethi?
I play the character of Madhu, who gets married to one of Supriya (Pilgaonkar)'s sons Karan, played by Ali (Asgar) and enters the home as the youngest bahu. Madhu is educated and has done her graduation in law.

She feels that she is the perfect daughter-in-law. She tackles everyone in the house other than her two mothers-in-law. She is sandwiched between the two of them. Supriyaji is confused and doesn't know whether to dictate or hear me. She is also the one who is great at having the cake and eating it too. Madhu is undoubtedly smart and intelligent.

Reema Lagoo and Supriya Pilgaonkar have already proved themselves as the saas-bahu characters in Tu Tu Main Main!
Yes, I am very much aware of that. I got through my first day feeling a bit nervous. But as the day progressed, I started feeling comfortable with my role. Besides that, Sachinji (Pilgaonkar) is a good director. He wouldn't say ok if any shot isn't up to his expectation. The script is also uncomplicated.

Your experience working with Sachin (Pilgaonkar)!
This is not the first time I'm working with Sachinji. In fact I got my first break under his direction. It was a film called Naam Kya Hai, produced by ABCL. But unfortunately due to some problems it didn't get released. Sachinji is my mentor and a superb person to work with. He has known me since I was 15. He only advised me to join acting classes at Kishore Namit Kapoor's acting institute.

What do you enjoy more — comedy or drama?
I enjoy comedy more. It's a challenge for every actor. Comedy isn't easy at all. It cannot be taught. It has to come naturally to you.

Will Kadvee Khatthi Meethi do as well as Tu Tu Main Main?
I had seen Tu Tu Main Main as a viewer. The concept of Kadvee Khatthi Meethi is different from that of Tu Tu Main Main. I just hope and pray that it does well. Eventually it's the audience who will make the final decision.

Your chemistry with your male co-stars…
It wasn't difficult for me to get along with them. I had performed a comic piece with Ali (Asgar) at an IT awards function. So I knew him. Swapnil (Joshi) was new to me. But both are very sweet and we have developed a good rapport.

Are there any other projects you are working on?
I'm doing another show, which would go on air in December. But I can't officially announce it right now.
