Versatile actress Maleeka R Ghai who gave an electrifying performance as the main negative in Zee TV’s Ikk Kudi Punjab Di, is presently shooting for the Doordarshan show titled Devanchal ki Prem Katha, which will be a beautiful love story between a blind girl and a dumb boy. It will be a unique love story that will be inspirational. The show is produced by Producer Somji R Shastri.
Maleeka will play the role of Janki who will be a naive and loving character who unknowingly will get funny. She will be a caring mother.
The best part for Maleeka is that she is sharing screen space with senior actor Pankaj Berry after 20 long years. Both of them played a couple in Sahara One’s show Zindagi Teri Meri Kahaani. In this show too, they are headed to playing a couple.
Says Maleeka, “When I shot with Pankaj for the Sahara One show, I was only 20 to 21 years old. Now we are working together after a gap of 20 years. That’s nostalgic for us!!. It is amazing to work with Pankajji. We are rekindling the same onscreen chemistry that we portrayed years back. He is a wonderful actor to work with. I am enjoying shooting for the show.”
After Ikk Kudi Punjab Di, Maleeka decided to take a deliberate break from TV. “I wanted to get back with something really nice. I was offered a lot of shows in these years which I had to reject. All the characters I was offered were so cliched that it made no sense. The roles were not that provoking for me to take them. I would have rejected at least two dozen roles.”
As for roles in future, Maleeka would love to explore newer territories as a performer.
Best of luck!!
