It needs a lot of patience and understanding to play a character like Channi: Priyanka Khera

Priyanka Khera

Priyanka Khera made her grand entry in the entertainment industry with the super hit show, Shastri Sisters. Her charming personality and powerful portrayals have made her a sought after name within a short span of time.

Priyanka is currently seen in Zindagi’s second original fiction show Aadhe Adhoore. Essaying the role of Channi, Priyanka portrays a young, meek and timid girl 22 years of age. Channi is orphaned at a very young age and grows up with her brother and bhabhi while dreaming of having her own family one day. Her marriage to Varinder (Viren) is a fairy tale come true that adds a huge boost of confidence to her life and also brings out her sensitive nature that was unknown to her family so far. Channi’s life is takes a dramatic turn when she finds out about Jassi and Viren’s relationship. Taking this hurdle in her stride, her inner strength and bravery emerge.

Tell us something about the concept of your show ‘Aadhe Adhoore’?

The concept of the show is totally different and unique. It is a show about the choices one makes given the circumstances that they find themselves in. It is a concept unlike any other on Indian television.

Tell us something about your character?

I have a very interesting character named Channi. She is a very sober and an innocent middle class girl. The graph of my character is growing so well that I am really enjoying performing this role. I really love my character.

Do you feel your character is challenging?

Definitely, for an actor every role which they enact is always challenging and you can’t take your character for granted. Portraying an innocent girl who listens to anybody and everybody even after getting criticized by them, is not an easy task, not everyone can do it. It needs a lot of patience and understanding to play such a character.

How much effort did you put in for this character?

I did not get much time to prepare but as soon as I got to know that I have to play such a beautiful character, I started modifying myself to become Channi. My friends and family feel that I’ve become Channi. My behaviour is very much like Channi’s and I feel really happy to say that Priyanka has now become Channi.

What is the secret to your fitness in such a busy schedule?

I don’t get much time to focus on the same but I do try my level best to stay fit. Drinking more water, eating good & healthy food, jogging, walking (on the sets while the shot is not ready) and also playing cricket on the sets makes me fit & healthy.

What is your beauty mantra?

Being happy is the best mantra for being beautiful. Eating good food, staying fit & healthy, taking care of yourself just adds on to being happy.

As your character Channi is a total Punjabi Mundi, do you dress up the same in your real life?

I think I am very different from Channi, I don’t dress up like Channi, it’s only during festive times I like to wear Indian otherwise I like wearing western clothes.

What are your future plans?

I want to do different and good projects. I want to do more challenging roles, and prove and improve myself day by day and of course. The ultimate dream is, get more famous!
