Mumbai, Oct 31 (NationPress) Acclaimed actress Achint Kaur shared her insights on embodying the character of Diti in the mythological series “Gatha Shiv Parivaar Ki: Ganesh Kartikey.”
In a candid interview with IANS, she expressed that she reflected her own vulnerabilities through this role. Portraying Diti enabled her to delve into emotions she had previously kept hidden, making the journey both challenging and profoundly personal.
When inquired about any specific scene that impacted her personally, Achint revealed there wasn't a singular moment, but numerous occasions where she recognized her own vulnerabilities mirrored in Diti. “While there isn't one defining scene, there were definitely instances where I saw my vulnerable side reflected in Diti. Her emotional fragility, beneath all her strength, resonated deeply with me. It’s those subtle parallels between her world and mine that enriched the experience tremendously.”
Discussing how Diti contrasts with the powerful female figures she's portrayed in the past, the actress remarked, “I've never taken on the role of a goddess before, particularly one rooted in mythology. Therefore, comparing her to my earlier characters never crossed my mind. Diti exists in an entirely different realm — she is divine, intricate, and timeless, making her incomparable to the other strong women I've played.”
Reflecting on Diti's dual nature — nurturing yet destructive, the ‘Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii’ actress stated, “Given that she swings between extremes, it was fascinating to investigate her motivations. Through extensive readings and narrations, I discovered emotions and thoughts in her that I personally connected with. As I unraveled her psyche, which is my own interpretation, I began to see myself in her. My directors were incredibly supportive and guided me to align this understanding with their vision. This journey is ongoing; I'm continuously learning new facets of Diti every day and enjoying every moment of it.”
