MUMBAI: Tanya Desai will be seen playing the character of Thakurain in ALTT’s new series, Nagvadhu: Ek Zehreeli Kahani. Speaking of her role, she said, “I found the role very challenging. I’m playing the Thakurain of the village, where Bhujangraj is a Devta who asks all the new brides to be with him forever. Thakurain is said to have received a blessing from Bhujangraj. She represents Bhujangraj in communication.”
“But in fact, she crafted a false narrative of Bhujangraj, and it was she who abducted all the attractive ladies from the Nag-Palace village. As the primary antagonist of the narrative, she is a lesbian who operates an illicit drug company, doing all of this for her own gain,” she added.
However, she mentioned that the role came with a challenge. She said, “Pulling someone's body into your body and then acting like him was challenging. Also, it was not a normal person but a deity.”
She also said that the title of the show is perfect and goes well with the story. She added, “It’s an attractive name. It’s like, What is Nagvadhu, and who is Nagvadhu?“
The show has a few bold scenes, however, Tanya said that she was quite comfortable doing them. She said, “As an artist, I only think about my work. Also, the team was super great.”
What is the USP of ALTT? “The shows are fast-paced, and they are entertaining,” Tanya ended.
The series will be released on 21st June, 2024, on ALTT.
