She's no stranger to Indian television, but veteran theatre artiste Dolly Thakore

will now be seen dislaying her histrionic skills in the new Balaji soap Kya Hoga Nimmo Ka to launch on Star One next week.

Dolly, a well known English newsreader on Mumbai newsreader in the 1970s, will play the conniving Dadi in Balaji Telefilms's new soap Kyaa Hoga Nimmo Kaa. She will sport the same larger than life, glamorous persona that she sports in real life too. Clearly the outsider in the world of telly soaps, Dolly is nevertheless excited about her character.
"I play the dominating grandmother of the house. I am looking forward to learning as much as I can from working in a Hindi soap besides I have a running character in the show which is quite interesting," says Dolly Thakore who has her real life look in the show.

Dolly, previously married to adman Alyque Padamsee, has been a legend of sorts in Mumbai's English theatre scenario.
