I had no hopes of getting the role of Ishaani – Radhika Madan
Newbie Radhika Madan is all set to begin her television career with Colors’ upcoming show Meri Aashiqui Tum Se Hi produced by Balaji Telefilms.
In a candid chat with us, Radhika, aka Ishaani, speaks about the new show and character.
Firstly, tell us something about your character? “Ishaani is the perfect Indian girl who believes in love and all the good things in life and I am working really hard to get into the skin of the character. The experience shooting for the show has been incredible so far and I hope that audiences support me as I venture into this new and unknown world of acting.”
What do you enjoy the most, dancing or acting? “I love dancing and it’s my life. Dancing makes me happy but even acting is really exciting and everyday is a new journey for me. Although I am facing lot of difficulties, my director is very sweet and composed and brings the best out of me.”
How is your chemistry with your co-star Shakti Arora? “Shakti is sweet and makes me very comfortable. The best part is that we both share a good chemistry off-screen too. We keep pulling each other’s leg; so chemistry comes naturally.”
Ekta Kapoor is known to be a strict task master, particular about her work. So were you scared before taking up the project? “She is sweet and she has always been there. It is every actor’s dream to be part of Ekta Maam’s show. But let me tell you I never thought of being part of television shows. In fact I have never watched Indian television. I always aspired to be a choreographer and acting was never on the cards. However, now that I am making my television debut with the show under the expert guidance of Ekta Maam and the entire talented team I feel elated yet anxious at the same time.”
How did you bag this show? “Ekta maam saw my music video and asked me to come down for an audition. I had no hopes of getting this show but to my surprise, one day I got a call from Balaji saying that I was selected for the role of Ishaani.”
Are you comfortable with love making scenes? “It is a part of our job, so I am fine with it.”
Radhika, here’s wishing you and the entire team all the very best!!!
