Aditi Rawat on joining the cast of ‘Tere Ishq Mein Ghayal’; says, “The vampire-werewolf folklore is a lot more popular today”

Aditi Rawat who rose to fame with her role as Tia in the comedy show, Hari Mirch Laal Mirch, is now all set to try her hands in the fantasy genre again with Tere Ishq Mein Ghayal (TIMG). The actress talks about it in a recent interview and shared, “It’s an exciting opportunity for me, as I wanted to be a part of this show. I play Aahana, and I am in love with my character. It’s a positive character. However, watch out for this one because the character will meet with a supernatural twist.”

She added, “Safe to say I’m quite well-versed with the supernatural world (laughs!). I want to take up something different every time. Hari Mirch Lal Mirch, in which I played the female lead, was a comedy show with the saas-bahu tadka and yet different from usual saas-bahu sagas on TV.”

Aditi cares more about what her character has to offer than the screen time it has. Talking about it said, “I have worked as the protagonist in two projects. But I am equally proud of a few interesting characters I have played. To me, more important is the character that I portray on-screen than how much screen time I’m getting.”

When asked about the comparison netizens are making between TIMG with the cult show, The Vampire Diaries (TVD), the actress replied, “Shows like TVD exposed our Indian audience to some badass supernatural characters, and I feel that this whole vampire-werewolf folklore is more popular today than it was a few years ago. So, maybe that’s why people feel that TIMG is like TVD.”

Talking about the trolling the show has been garnering, she replied, “Honestly, these days, almost anything and everything is being trolled. There might be a certain section of the audience that doesn’t like this genre or its presentation here. But I also believe that a majority is still willing to give Indian makers a chance to explore this genre, and I’m sure with time, we’ll be able to hone these characters and this genre well.”
