While Colors show Tere Ishq Mein Ghayal once again explores the genre of supernatural with an ensemble cast of Karan Kundrra, Gashmeer Mahajani, and Reem Shaikh, Vaishnavi Dhanraj too is expected to essay a rather interesting character of a yogini named Mehek, who is also a close friend of Eisha (Reem). In the recent episode, Mehek is still exploring her magical powers as she has no idea how powerful they are. However, with a modern twist, her character is quite wise and matured. In her own words, Vaishnavi described not just about Mehek but also how she relates to her.
“Mehek hails from the family of very powerful yoginis. Her ancestors were magicians who used their powers to help the society. Though she starts realising her powers gradually in the story, once she does she becomes more responsible and tries her best to use her powers for good. She is a caregiver, protector and healer with a modern tadka,” Vaishnavi explained. She went on to add, “I have been practicing yoga for years now. So I relate to Mehek in every way. She handles stressful situations well. Mehek is matured and wise, yet, there’s joy and humility in her that cannot be tethered. When I heard the character briefly, I knew I was portraying it. This role is tailor-made for me. I feel blessed. As for the show, it is going to be a combination of thrill, action, romance, love, friendship, hatred, vengeance which makes it very dramatic and interesting.”
Did you know that the actress also went through extensive prep for this role? “I’ve started getting into the theoretical part of being a yogini, the mudras, the deep science behind breathing techniques (pranayam) and so on. I have also started reading more books and watching more videos on Yoga. Also, I wake up early in the morning everyday to practice meditation and pranayam so that it becomes a part of my identity which will ultimately help Mehek’s body language and over-all performance in the show,” added the actress.
In her concluding statement, Vaishnavi Dhanraj not only showcased her love for the show but also the location where it has been extensively shot. It seems that the actress has a lot of lovely memories in and across the picturesque hills of Mussoorie and Dehradun. “I love Mussoorie and Dehradun as I have a lot of childhood memories there. So, shooting there felt like revisiting my childhood. It was tiresome and hectic but refreshing.”
Tere Ishq Mein Ghayal features Karan Kundrra and Gashmeer Mahajani as bhediyas aka werewolves along with Reem Shaikh as Eisha.
