This year marks the 25th anniversary of the prestigious ‘Zee Chitra Gaurav’ Awards, and the ceremony is packed with surprising elements for the audience. One such special performance story was shared by Purva Kaushik, who plays Shiva.
“Zee Chitra Gaurav is celebrating its 25th year, and I felt incredibly honored to be a part of it. I got the opportunity to perform as Shiva on stage, and that too with Shreyas Talpade! I watched his movie Iqbal when I was a kid, along with many of his other films and shows. He is a huge celebrity for me and a fantastic actor.”
She adds, “We rehearsed twice for the technicals and then did a one-take performance. There’s one fun backstage moment that I would love to share. As everyone knows, Shreyas Talpade dubbed for Pushpa’s Hindi version, so when I met him backstage, I made a special request as Shiva – I asked him to say the dialogue ‘Kesala Dhakka, Kapalala Bukka’ (A hit to the hair, a punch to the forehead). And guess what? He said it in Pushpa’s voice! It was such an epic moment for me!”
