Bhaweeka Chaudhary, who is currently seen as Lavanya in Sargun Mehta and Ravie Dubey’s Badall Pe Paon Hai, which is produced under their banner Dreamiyata Entertainment Private Limited, says her idol is late Irfan Khan, however, for her ongoing role she has taken inspiration from Jennifer Winget.
“When it comes to my craft, I consider Irrfan Khan as my idol. However, for the character of Lavanya, I can only envision Jennifer Winget. She has portrayed powerful characters with a strong screen presence, making her the perfect inspiration for this role,” she said.
Speaking of Irrfan Khan, she said, “I find immense inspiration in Irrfan Khan’s work, particularly in his portrayal in the movie Madaari. One scene, in particular, stands out to me: the moment when his character receives the devastating news of his son’s passing. What struck me was the remarkable one-take performance he delivered.”
“His portrayal captures the raw emotion, pain, and restlessness of the character, allowing the audience to deeply connect with him. It’s a brilliant performance that showcases his exceptional talent and commitment to his craft,” she added.
Bhaweeka has a very structured process when it comes to approaching a new role. She said, “When I approach a new role, I follow a structured process to fully immerse myself in the character. First, I thoroughly read the script to understand the story and the character’s place within it. I analyze the character’s background, motivations, relationships, and development throughout the narrative.”
“I often keep the journal for the character to explore their inner thoughts and feelings which helps in building the deeper connection,” she added.
How do you break the monotony of a daily show? “In breaking the monotony of daily soap operas, I aim to redefine television acting. While some argue that web show acting is favored nowadays, I believe we can evoke the same depth and authenticity on television. As actors, we’ll portray genuine emotions without resorting to overacting, ensuring viewers feel a real connection with our performances.”
