Actress Ishita Dutta known for shows like `Ek Ghar Banaunga` and `Bepanah Pyar` has been roped in to play the character of `Kajol Mukherjee` in the upcoming serial `Thoda Sa Baadal, Thoda Sa Paani`. She talks about her role that portrays the life of a young woman whose marriage to the perfect one is on the cards. But her dreams are shattered overnight after she is forced to become the family`s breadwinner following the demise of her father.
Ishita comments on playing a Bengali girl for the first time: "I had never played a Bengali girl before, but I got the opportunity to play it through `Kajol``s character, who is very close with her family. One of the better qualities of `Kajol` is that though she`s simple and kind-hearted, she is no "bechari". She is very strong-willed and does not shy away from speaking up. Just like her, I believe in standing up against the wrong as well."
