The television show Dhadkan Zindaggi Kii which started with a band is now slated to go off-air on March 7. The show was premiered on December 6 and is wrapping up after just three months. The show was featuring Additi Gupta, Rohit Purohit, and Vidyut Xavier.
Additi, who has wrapped up her shoot talked about it in a recent interview with BT and shared, “It was a beautiful journey and I am glad that I bagged this project. It was great donning the role of a doctor and I loved Deepika’s journey on the show. It takes guts to do something different on television and I am happy that Nilanjana (Purkayasstha) and Herumb (Khot) thought of something different for TV audiences.”
Admitting that the show was slow to warm up with Indian audiences. Additi says, “There are many factors that work in favor of a TV show. While I received great feedback from people abroad, who watched the show, I do accept that Indian TV audiences gave a slow response to it. I feel the time slot did not work in favor of the show because many people felt it was a bit late for them to watch a one-hour show at 10 pm. But I feel the show had great content. Actually, I don’t understand why the audiences do not want to move away from regular social dramas and watch a different show. It’s a women-centric medium and women love watching typical social dramas.”
Additi who is optimistic about the future and ready for another project concluded by saying, “If you do a regular daily soap, wearing heavy saris and jewelry the entire day, you do feel like taking a break. Dhadkan was quite easy, so I am not looking for a long break. Also, just because I did a medical drama, it does not mean I want to stay away from daily soaps. I am open to anything. Currently, I am holidaying for a few days in Dubai, after working non-stop in Naigaon and living alone. But, I look forward to something interesting and will be back in Mumbai soon.”
