The upcoming episodes of &TV’ Baal Shiv will witness the aggressive side of Devi Parvati, essayed by Shivya Pathania. The actress will transform into the fierce Maa Kaali. In the track, Andhak will try to attack Kailash in the absence of Mahadev. Andhak further shows the audacity to ask Devi Parvati to marry him which infuriates her and she takes the avatar of Maa Kaali.
Maa Kali furiously chases Andhak and starts slaying the asuras trying to stop her. She eventually cuts Andhak into two halves. This will be the first time television audience will witness Maa Kaali with multiple hands and heads.
In a recent interview, Shivya talks about it and shares, “Playing the role of Devi Parvati is a big opportunity and responsibility but when I was told that I would also be transforming into the roop of Maa Kali, I felt overwhelmed. I am a huge devotee of Maa Kaali for her fierce and strong personality. The entire look has come out aesthetically and visually appealing. And I am sure the viewers will surely find this track quite intriguing and engaging.”
Shivya adds, “As a kid, my whole family used to watch a lot of mythological shows. Even then, my family members used to say that I would be the perfect choice to essay goddesses’ roles on screen. And now, as I get to portray not only Devi Parvati but also Maa Kaali in &TV’s Baal Shiv. I feel as if I have received the blessings of Maa Kaali herself.”
Talking about the prep for Maa Kaali’s role, Shivya shares, “It is a hectic and long process and took me more than five hours to transform into the character of Maa Kali. However, you do not feel tired because of the energy that the character holds. I must give credit to the entire team that has worked hard to make this whole look possible.”
She adds, “It was a huge responsibility to portray the role of Maa Kaali as it is one of the most interesting high points in the show. In real life, I am an extremely calm person which helps me to essay the role of Devi Parvati. However, Maa Kaali’s portrayal required me to showcase a lot of aggression and anger. There were various takes where I had to scream in anger. So much so that I eventually got a bad throat. But, in the end, it is all worth it because the entire track has been shot beautifully to capture the emotion and engage the viewers.”
