Mumbai, April 16 (NationPress) Television actress Ishita Ganguly, who has a passion for cricket, expressed that during the Indian Premier League (IPL) season, the gentleman's game transforms into a “full-blown obsession” for her.
Despite her hectic shooting schedule, Ishita, known for portraying Chamkili in “Badi Haveli Ki Chhoti Thakurain,” ensures she actively supports her beloved team, the Kolkata Knight Riders.
“Cricket has always been my escape, my joy, and during IPL season, it turns into a full-blown obsession!” Ishita remarked.
She continued, “As a proud Bengali, I’ve been cheering for Kolkata Knight Riders since the inaugural season. There’s something enchanting about supporting your hometown team—the bond runs deep. Plus, having Shah Rukh Khan linked with KKR amplifies the allure. I mean, who wouldn’t want to root for a team owned by the King of Hearts?”
Even with the demanding shooting schedule of Badi Haveli Ki Chhoti Thakurain, Ishita creatively connects with the game.
“I never miss an opportunity to catch a few overs—even if it’s just between scenes. My makeup room transforms into my little cricket haven—I’ve got my phone set up streaming the match, snacks ready, and often, the crew joins in. The atmosphere is electrifying! Whether it’s a six from Russell or a magical over from Narine, we cheer as if we are right there at Eden Gardens,” shared the actress.
She added, “But it’s more than just the game; it’s about the camaraderie it fosters. That’s what I treasure most—cricket unites us all. On set, we hail from diverse cities, backgrounds, and roles—but when KKR takes the field, we’re simply a group of enthusiastic fans sharing snacks, laughter, and nail-biting moments. It’s the simple pleasures that make it so memorable.”
On a humorous note, Ishita remarked, “Watching cricket has aided Chamkili too; she’s learning a trick or two to outsmart her rival, Chaina.”
“Badi Haveli Ki Chhoti Thakurain” is broadcasted on Shemaroo Umang.
