Of Grit and Determination
Sony Entertainment Television has started beaming its new shows Durgesh Nandini and Jeete Hain Jiske Liye, that depict women of determination. A talk with Rinku Ghosh and Ashwini Kalsekar who essay important roles in the two serials... ASHWINI KALSEKAR
You have been playing negative characters for some time now. Are you again playing a negative character in Jeete Hain Jiske Liye?
Yes, I am used to playing a negative character since I did Jigyaasa. As far as JHJL is concerned, to the viewer, this role will look a negative character, but actually it is positive as far as my character of Adira is concerned. Please elaborate.
Adira is the buwa of Dhanrajgir (Ayub Khan) who is a businessman. Somewhere in-between Dhanrajgir dies. It is then that Adira takes over the business which she expands, so much so that she builds a mansion for the family. Later, once Adira is told by her family members that she was only the caretaker, she gets enraged. From here on she looks out for methods to destabilise the family. Any one in Adira's place would have done just that, because it is a matter of one's security. Your character has an enchanting look.
Adira is very stylised on the lines of Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, but I haven't followed them. Right from my rings to the earrings, everything has been so designed to rev up my character. And what about your character?
Every grey character is always given a powerful look and has to mainly emote through the eyes. The same goes with Adira. The entry of Adira is always accompanied by an ominous background score a la Gabbar Singh in Sholay. Then there are moments when Adira screams "That's all" after which no one dares to talk.
