Mumbai: Actress Neeta Mohindra, who plays the role of Kailash Bua in the television show “Bheema”, says she has a PhD in the field of arts.
The actress shared that despite having a deep passion for acting and the art of theatre, she worked towards developing a strong academic portfolio.
The actress has been working in television for over 4 decades now. She said, “I was passionate about theatre from the beginning. Though I was not sure if I would be able to make it in this industry or not. I acquired a solid academic background. Did a Masters and PhD in Arts and became a college professor.
He further added, “While teaching, I continued acting and attended workshops in Germany and the US. I am from Punjab and made my TV debut in 1984. Before that, I was deeply involved in theatre and moved on from anchoring to acting in plays.”
The actress feels that auditions are a constant part of an actor's life. The opportunity to play Kailash Bua came her way through an audition. She was called for a mock shoot which went smoothly, and before she knew it, she was selected for the role.
Talking about her role in the show she said, “I am thoroughly enjoying the role of Kailash Bua. It has been a while since I played a negative role, as I have mostly played positive roles, especially mothers. My previous roles became so iconic that people in Punjab started calling me Nirupa Roy.
The actress feels that her role allows her to break the shackles of stereotypes that she has faced over the years.
He further added, “Kailasha Bua allows me to break that image. She is a powerful, authoritative figure in her community, whose word is law, and who stands by Bhima and his family in the face of significant challenges. The character has many layers and I am completely immersed in it.”
'Bheema' is an inspirational story of a young girl who dreams beyond her circumstances and strives for success despite many challenges. Her journey involves overcoming social norms and obstacles to achieve her goals.
