Dolly Chawla Call Her Character In Tumm Se Tumm Tak ‘Authoritative And Bossy'
Dolly Chawla opened up about how the role is unlike anything she's played before and quite the opposite of her real-life persona. Television actress Dolly Chawla is currently winning hearts in Zee TV's new-age gap romance drama Tumm Se Tumm Tak. Attracting attention for her portrayal of Meera, she is considered one of the most compelling aspects of the show. In a recent interview with a news agency, Dolly revealed that the role is unlike anything she has taken on before and is quite the opposite of her real-life personality. Speaking to IANS, Dolly said playing such a contrasting character was both challenging and exciting, as it allowed her to explore new dimensions as an actor. Dolly Chawla's Character Meera Is Possessive And Opposite Of Her Real-Life Persona Describing her character, Dolly shared, 'I am playing Meera, who handles everything related to Arya; his office, food, medicines and more. She doesn't like it when someone else gets close to Arya or when he gives them importance. Now that Anu has joined the office, Meera is getting jealous. She doesn't listen to anyone except her boss." She admitted the role is far from who she is in real life, but that's what made it exciting. 'People have loved me in my previous work, and I hope they give the same love to Meera, even if they hate her. I feel that every character should be challenging, only then do you truly enjoy playing it. This character is very different from my real-life personality, and that's what makes it exciting. It takes time to observe and adapt, but I am enjoying it," she stated. Why Dolly Chawla Said Yes To Tumm Se Tumm Tak Dolly also said that the production house, Studio LSD, played a big role in her decision. She mentioned, 'When I got a call from the production house, I was very excited. This production house feels like family to me, and I love them. When they called and briefed me about the character of Meera, I was thrilled. They also mentioned that this show already exists in seven languages, so there's definitely pressure to deliver a strong performance." Dolly, who has played negative roles before, called Meera 'authoritative and bossy." She said, 'I have done negative roles before, but this one is especially challenging. Meera is authoritative and bossy, which makes her quite different." Tumm Se Tumm Tak's Concept Set against the backdrop of an age-gap romance between Arya (played by Sharad Kelkar) and Anu (Niharika Chouksey), Tumm Se Tumm Tak explores the emotional journey of two people navigating love despite societal expectations. Speaking about the storyline, the actress shared, 'If you look at relationships in real life, age gaps do exist. Love is a gradual process. Even if there is an age gap, you still take your time to assess whether the person is right for you or not. That's exactly how it is for Anu and Arya. The story has layers and things unfold step by step. Age is just a number." Produced by Prateek Sharma and Parth Shah under the banners of Studio LSD, Tumm Se Tumm Tak stars Dolly Chawla alongside Sharad Kelkar and Niharika Chouksey. The daily soap airs every day on Zee TV.

This film was rejected by Amisha Patel, Kareena Kapoor got the role, film became cult classic, has IMDb rating of 6.8, movie name is…
This film was rejected by Amisha Patel, Kareena Kapoor got the role, film became cult classic, has IMDb rating of 6.8, movie name is… This 2003 film, which is now hailed as cult classic, was first offered to Amisha Patel, who refused another huge opportunity for her. Advertisement In early 2000s, a particular film emerged that defied Bollywood norms. Set over a single rainy night in Mumbai, it brought together two strangers from vastly different worlds. The narrative, centered on a street-smart woman and a grieving investment banker, was a departure from the typical song-and-dance routines of the time. This unconventional storyline, combined with a de-glamorized portrayal of its lead actress, challenged the industrial norms. Which film is this? The film we are talking about is Chameli, directed by Sudhir Mishra, which was released in 2003. Chameli tells the story of a chance encounter between Chameli, a street-smart sex worker and Aman Kapoor, a widowed investment banker played by Rahul Bose. Trapped together during a rainy night, their interactions delve into themes of loss, resilience, and unexpected companionship. Advertisement === Why did Amisha Patel reject Chameli? Initially, the role of Chameli was offered to Ameesha Patel, who declined, feeling that portraying a sex worker didn't align with her image, as she was at that time basking in the success of her debut film, Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai. The script then found its way to Kareena Kapoor, who was hesitant at first, concerned about her family's reaction and the potential impact on her career. However, after discussions with her parents, who encouraged her to take on the challenging role, she accepted. This decision marked a significant turning point in her career. How did Chameli helped in reshaping Kareena Kapoor's career? Kareena Kapoor's portrayal of Chameli was met with critical acclaim. Her performance showcased a depth and versatility that had not been previously highlighted in her roles. This role allowed her to break free from the typecast of glamorous characters and demonstrated her ability to take on more nuanced and challenging parts. The film earned her a Special Jury Award at the 49th Filmfare Awards, further solidifying her position as a serious actress. Advertisement === Despite its modest budget and limited commercial expectations, the film resonated with audiences and critics alike but ended up being a box office dud. The film's intimate storytelling and strong performances contributed to its status as a cult classic. Its success paved the way for more content-driven cinema in Bollywood and inspired actors to explore roles outside their comfort zones. This film has received IMDb rating of 6.8 and is currently available for streaming on JioHotstar and SonyLIV.
