MUMBAI: Shubhaavi Choksey is one of the most respected and talented actresses in the television industry, best known for her role as Meera in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Rishika in Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii, and Mohini Basu in Kasautii Zindagii Kay.
Shubhaavi nailed these characters with her acting chops and did full justice to these roles. The role of Mohini Basu was loved by the audiences, especially the mother and son bond of Anurag and Mohini.
People have been in awe of her performance as Nandini Kapoor, playing the role of the evil stepmother with a twist. Shubhavi Choksey’s Nandini Kapoor is setting a different path for herself together. She is changing the way the negative characters are usually portrayed, especially the stepmother who turns into an evil mother-in-law.
In a conversation with TellyChakkar, Shubhavi spoke about her comeback to acting with Kasauti Zindagi Ki and the Shashank Khaitan film ‘Dhadak’. She said, ‘ It was spontaneous and I did think about it a lot because I am a bit of an overthinker. So, when Shashank Khaitan, who is a dear friend of ours, called me asking if I would do the film, I said sure but I had asked him how many days of the shoot would it be, because my son Arhaan was still young and I would have to leave him and go. He has a whole schedule, so I was kind of worried. He said it was just a matter of days and I would be free very quickly. But I remember very clearly when I went on the set of Dhadak and the moment the camera rolled, I was just transported. I was like a tiger who had tasted blood because I realized I had come back to the thing I love the most, which is acting. I love the lights, camera, action part. It was a conscious decision to not work but once I did Dhadak and when the opportunity came to me for ‘Kasauti’, I couldn’t stop.’
Shubhavi currently plays the role of Nandini Kapoor in Bade Acche Lagte Hai 2 on Sony TV, produced by Balaji.
