The new Draupadi shouldn't follow me: Roopa Ganguly
Puja Sharma, Roopa Ganguly
Roopa Ganguly, who played the character ofDraupadi in BR Chopra's 'Mahabharat', is looking forward to Siddharth Tewary's version of the epic.
When asked for her views on the new Draupadi( Pooja Sharma), she said, "I haven't seen her performing yet, but I am hopeful that she will do well. It is a very difficult character, and more difficult for her because the old Mahabharat is still etched in everyone's minds. My advice to her will be not to follow me. I did my bit about 25 years ago. Pooja is a young girl of today's generation. So I am sure she would be much more spontaneous and smart."
The senior actor further added, "Now that girls are so comfortable wearing shorts and bustiers, it would be difficult for them to imagine the humiliation how it feels if their dupatta is taken away. Pooja should wear saris for the time being to feel the awkwardness when the pallu slips away. That should be a part of her workshop."
Roopa also expressed her excitement on the new series. "I generally do not watch television, but I will watch one or two episodes at least. I also request the audience to watch it with an open mind, and to welcome this new series."
She also has a few suggestions for the makers. "I feel the makers shouldn't try to modernizeMahabharata. They are portraying a particular time frame, and thus it should have a certain pattern of direction, acting and dialogue delivery. If one tries to contemporize a subject like this, it will disturb the viewer."
Airing her views on Satyawati, played by Bengali actress Sayantani Ghosh, Roopa said, "I know Sayantani. She is a fine actress and I am sure she will essay the character well. She has the gait and personality to play Satyawati."
