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.
