Actor Charrul Malik who plays the role of Russa in &TV’s Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain is extremely happy that she debuted with this role on TV.
Says Charrul, “It’s my very first show in the television industry, my debut acting stint. Starting with a comic character has added a lot of confidence in me. The show has created a lot of buzz for me, people have started addressing me as Russa. It’s a great feeling that people are recognising me as my on-screen character Russa and not Charrul. People watch the show with great interest, they love my character. Russa is in me, I don’t have to put in too much effort to play the role. Rather being myself does the job,” she says.
“I would want to do a powerful role where people would remember me for it. I also agree that people do ask you if you are a lead in the show, and the media is more interested in someone who is the face of the fiction. I produced a show in the past where I used to tell my team that no actor is big or small, everyone is equal and are here to perform, and do their job.”
Talking about the biggest advantage of being part of a comedy show, she avers, “In comedy, viewers relate to the characters and performances, looks don’t matter to them. In other shows, an actor has to be young, and glamorous but here, what matters is how much you can make the audience laugh. I think the USP of comedy shows is that age is no bar here and performances are of prime importance.”
Well-said, Charrul!!
