At Balaji, Rakshanda Khan feels at home

Actress and anchor Rakshanda Khan, who will soon be seen in popular daily soap “Bade Achhe Lagte Hain”, is happy to reunite with Balaji Telefilms.

She is playing Isha, Ram Kapoor’s college friend in the show, which sees Sakshi Tanwar in the female lead. “It feels good to be back in Balaji. If you stay away from your home for long, then at the back of your mind you feel that every family member is there, but I am not at home. Thankfully, things have changed and I’m back in Balaji,” the 38-year-old actress told reporters on the sets of the show.

“I feel at home here. It feels comfortable amidst people you know. It feels lovely to be back,” she added. Rakshanda had earlier done shows like “Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi”, “Kya Hadsaa Kya Haqeeqat”, “Kasam Se”, “Kahaani Hamaaray Mahaabhaarat Ki” produced under Ekta Kapoor’s Balaji Telefilms.

Although she has started shooting for “Bade Achhe Lagte Hain”, she feels a bit lost and is unable to match the pace of other actors of the show, which went on air in May 2011.

“People are so set in there characters here. While Ram, Sakshi and even that little girl Pihu (played by child artist Amrita Mukherjee) are well aware of their characters, I am revising my lines, understanding the set.

“Meanwhile, we are also trying to do time management as per Ram’s schedule, so things are happening so fast that I am still taking time to digest that I am a part of ‘Bade Achhe Lagte Hain’,” said the actress whose last outing with the banner was “Kitni Mohabbat Hai Tumse” which went off air in September 2009.
