Mumbai: Actress Smita Sable, who plays Dhaniya in the television show “Bheema”, said she had initially auditioned for a negative role in the show.
Her character Dhaniya in the show is a caring mother who prioritises her family's well-being. However, the role the actress auditioned for was completely different from the one she is currently playing.
Smita said, “It is a very interesting story. I auditioned for the show Bhima, but it was not for the role of Dhaniya. I auditioned for a negative role, but I was selected for the role of Dhaniya. It was a complete surprise. I was very excited. Playing the character of Dhaniya is very challenging, but I am happy to play such an important role in my career.''
Talking about her character, the actress said that Dhaniya's support for her daughter Bhima's education despite social challenges is a testament to her parenting spirit. Despite facing hardships, Dhaniya's courage and determination never wavered.
Before entering the acting world, the actress worked in the corporate sector till 2019. However, she wanted to act from the very beginning.
She further added, “In my free time, I used to make videos and do monologues on social media. I was also interested in modelling and wanted to enter the industry through that route. However, the pandemic in 2020 turned my career towards acting.''
Talking about her preparation for the show, she said, “Being a Maharashtrian working on a show set in Uttar Pradesh, I needed to master the local dialect and accent so that I could be authentic and true to my character. My past experience helped me a lot. The support of my team and co-stars really helped me.”
He said, “He guided me in using the right expressions to convey emotions, thus making my portrayal of Dhaniya more real”.
