Aanchal Khurana the talented actress rose to fame with her negative portrayal in Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke. Mostly known for her antagonist roles on TV, Aanchal has broken the stereotype by picking up the role of Brinda in Bade Achhe Lagte Hain 2, the Sony TV show wherein she is admired and loved boy one and all.
Says Aanchal, “Brinda is a pure heart, a very good friend. She is all love.”
Aanchal’s character has an amazing camaraderie and bond of friendship with Nakuul Mehta’s character, Ram in the show. “Brinda’s equation with Ram is simply amazing. Frankly speaking, when Nakuul and I faced each other for the very first scene, we got the chemistry on target. From the very start, it appeared as though we are childhood friends.”
“Shooting with Nakuul is fun. He makes me feel so comfortable. He is grounded, a complete family man”, exclaims Aanchal.
Ask Aanchal whether she expected the character of Brinda to become so popular, and she answers with a grin on her face, “No, I never expected Brinda to be loved so much. But now, even I want a friend as dear as Brinda in my life. Fans call Brinda as ‘love’.”
Aanchal who is used to taking the negative comments of fans in stride for her earlier negative portrayals on-screen is happy with this seachange in her life. “I have not got even a single negative comment for Brinda. Everything is about fans loving Brinda, sending hearts etc. I am being pampered by fans for playing Brinda.”
Aanchal explains how she got to take up this show and role. “Owing to Covid, there was less work happening. Also, this offer came from Balaji Telefilms. So I did not find any reason to refuse the role. I actually thought this will be a normal character which will be needed for 7-8 days. My idea was to get basic earnings from the role. But what has turned out is something really surprising. This is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I am very much satisfied with the role. I am actually grateful that this role fell into my lap. I want to be showered with all the love that Brinda gets for a long time.”
Best of luck, Aanchal!!
