MUMBAI: Star Plus has come up with some amazing shows over the years and has been entertaining us with a variety of content. After Anupamaa, Ghum Hai Kiskey Pyaar Meiin and Imlie the channel is now gearing up for a new show under the banner of Cockcrow and Shaika Entertainment.
Cockcrow and Shaika Entertainment has been a name behind some massive hit shows like Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin and Choti Sarrdaarni. It will be interesting to see what kind of a show will be brought on board for Star again. The show is titled Kabhi Kabhie Itefaque Se.
Check out what Yesha Rughani who will be seen in the lead role shares about her role, experiences and more.
Tell us something about your character in the show; Kabhi Kabhie Ittefaq Sey?
I play Gungun Bhatnagar. Gungun is a character who is very unique, very different and very rare. It’s the most challenging character by far that I am going to play. People like Gungun are often misunderstood. They do not usually seem to be able to get through the layers of this complex personality. Nevertheless, she is a gem of a person with a golden heart. She has her part of struggles and is quite protective of her own feelings which makes her a very difficult character to portray. At the same time though, she is somebody who belongs to this generation. She is pretty cute, fun and spontaneous in many ways and to portray that on screen is quite the challenge to me and that constantly keeps me going. Playing such challenging roles is what keeps me motivated as an actor. That being said, I love to get into the shoes of Gungun every day and I am really looking forward to continuing to discover her even more with each passing day.
Tell us about the various preparations that you have done for your character in the show?
As I said, the character I play is quite different from the regular ones that we often come across and therefore the way I prepare for it is by trying to find behavioural similarities and ways that I can relate to the character and this is something I do while playing any character. I have personally been an only child
and really pampered and so is Gungun, so I try to draw those similarities between me and her. I try to relate her to a few other people that I know in real life and that’s how I prepare myself to be Gungun.
What is in store for the audience from the show?
There is so much in store! There’s too much love, also love that you feel towards your family and a lot of laughter. The show all in all shouts of happy vibes and no ounce of any negativity. It speaks loudly of the importance of relationships in one's life and how some people are fortunate enough to have those and those who aren’t, somehow end up meeting nice people along the way anyway which keeps them going. So people have a lot of family bonding and love to look forward to.
How do you feel working with Star Plus and on their new show KKIS?
It’s always been on my bucket list to work with Star Plus. I have worked with a lot of other channels but Star Plus so yes, admittedly, it was something that I’ve forever wanted to do. Growing up I had a lot of ambitions and being a Star Plus actor was a major one amongst them. After 3 shows and 4 long years, I have finally been fortunate enough and gotten this golden opportunity which I am very grateful for and am really looking forward to.
Have you taken any particular inspiration for your character? If yes, then tell us why and how it has helped you portray your character.
Like I mentioned before, I’ve drawn out a lot of inspiration from my real-life instances, real-life people around me as well as myself.
Have you shot any outdoor sequences for your show?
Yes. We were in Lucknow, shooting a few very interesting scenes. I think shooting outdoors is a different feeling altogether which I really enjoy. Gungun is from Lucknow so it was all the more exciting for me to be there. I was roaming the streets of Lucknow like a Nawab so yes, it was all pretty fun to do as it got me closer to my character.
