In conversation with Aditi Sajwan on her different looks in Chidiyaghar

Playing the character of Koyal in Chidiyaghar, Aditi Sajawan has sported multiple looks with different hair, make up and costumes. Each and every character that Aditi has played on the show has challenged her to achieve perfection. Here are some excerpts from the interview.

1) Tell us about your role as Koyal in Chidiyaghar?

The character of Koyal is most beautiful in the show and is pivotal in taking the story forward. Every week there is a new story in the life of Chidiyaghar family members and by way of comic relief, we showcase critical life lessons and propagate them without being preachy.

2) How many different looks have you carried in the show? How have you prepared for each look?

I can’t give a number to the number of looks I have played in the show. But I have portrayed the role of a rock band singer, stage dancer, goon, old lady, village belle, Naga jungle girl, Marathi mulgi, deer, sage, lord ram, etc. For each of my look, there has been some amount of preparation that has gone in terms of my acting, voice, mannerisms, hair and costumes.

3) How has been your experience in performing so many role as an actor?

This is the first show that has given me the opportunity to play varied characters and looks. It’s been a learning experience and a really enjoyble one. I feel that I am doing theatre here as I get to experiment with many different avatars, without any inhibitions because the flavor of the show is comedy and we can go to extremes while acting. My favorite look so far have been when I played Lord Ram and grown up Gillu (Koyal's Son).

4) How do you feel to be associated with a show that has completed 5 years?

It’s a matter of great honour and pride to be associated with such a beautiful show which has completed its 5 year milestone and its going great and strong even today. We have a dedicated and loving fan base. I’m very happy and elated with this landmark achievement. In today’s time, we don’t see many shows running strong for so many years and still being loved by one and all.
