Actress Rachanaa Parulkkar talks about her fearless role as a gangster in Maddam Sir
Popular TV show, Maddam Sir recently witnessed the entry of a few new characters in the show. One of the new characters is essayed by Rachanaa Parulkkar who is playing the role of a member of Chingari Gang – a female vigilante group including Prachi Bohra and Sulbha Arya.
During a recent interview, the actress opened up about her character, returning to television, and more.
She shared, “I am back on the screen after a short break. The reason being, I did not want to do the same cliché character of the damsel in distress or the girl next door. I wanted to do something different and unique that the audience will enjoy. I believe the audience today is changing and hence it is important to play a character that they can relate to and the one I enjoy portraying. While I was looking out for good and unique roles, the makers of Maddam Sir reached out to me. When I heard the role of Chingari Gang in the show and how my character would look, all my doubts and questions were cleared. I was also following the storyline of Maddam Sir and how well it was doing. Without any doubt, I had to agree to be a part of Maddam Sir.”
When asked what motivated her to be a part of the show, she replied, “The character itself was the source of my motivation. I have never played such an authoritative character and the best part is, I get to expand my vision and capabilities as an actress. The look, the body language, and the language itself are so much different than usual. Also, I always wanted to play a gangster or a character that brings out the rowdy side of me. So I think this is a good opportunity for me to explore and add this feather to my cap.”
Talking further about the Chingari gang and how it will contribute to the show, Rachanaa said, “Chingari Gang is not an evil gang, their intentions are pure and they believe in delivering immediate justice. They wish to help and look after women who are facing problems in their daily life. Although they do it for social purposes and of course because they understand the troubles that women face every day, their mindset differs from that of the cops at Mahila Police Thana. The main crux of this Chingari Gang is to give justice immediately which the women deserve. As per the story build-up, Shivani wanted to become a lawyer, but she couldn’t due to a mishap in her life. When her family disowned her, she left the house, strongly stood for herself and got the justice she deserved. She is not a lawyer in the show, but she knows how to proceed to get that justice. Shivani Tai’s way is different, but her intentions and her thinking are right.”
“Shivani Tai is supremely strong and a little emotional. She is authoritative and carries the aura, personality, and attitude of an iron-willed person. She is not scared of anything, mostly because she has gone through a lot. She is also very empathetic to the problems of women and stands for their rights, but she doesn’t believe in taking action against someone to create unnecessary face-off. She is somebody who is intelligent, calm and she processes things very well. These few qualities help her positively to help others and solve a problem,” she added.
The actress concluded with a message for her fans. “I would like to tell my fans, especially my family, please keep encouraging me and keep showering all your love. I promise to give my best and I hope everyone can connect to my character. Keep watching Maddam Sir, Monday to Saturday, 10PM.”
