MUMBAI: Actress Shiwani Chakraborty, who will be next seen in Maati Se Bandhi Dor, speaks about her desi look in the show. “My character’s name is Kaveri - the elder sister of Vaiju the lead character. This is the first time I am playing a village girl. Although I have played traditional roles before in my last show "Nimki Mukhiya”.

In my new show I have a very de-glam look with minimal makeup—just enough to appear on camera. I wear small earrings and a simple chain because my character belongs to a family that is struggling. The family is simple and from a small village. My character, Kaveri, has a desire to dress up a little and look nice. So, I wear simple cotton sarees, and my look includes a single braid. I am really enjoying playing this character because in the past, I have always worn heavy jewellery, like big earrings, which often became a trend. In every show, I had heavy makeup and wore gorgeous sarees and dresses. I am enjoying this change and have received lots of compliments.”

She also adds, ”When my promo came out, my friends, family, and fans gave very positive feedback. They are excited to see me in this new avatar and have told me that there is beauty in simplicity. As an actor, I believe I should portray each character in the best possible way, and I am happy with this role. A lot of time a look sets the tone for the character and I am happy that Kaveri is doing that for me.”
