Season 2 I started my career with comedy shows but eventually delved into doing daily soaps I was eagerly waiting and looking forward to an opportunity to work with the team of Sony SAB as it is an entertainment channel that is loved by every member of the family I believe doing comedy and equating myself with such shows makes me feel alive and gives me extra energy and motivation to keep up with the excellent workPlease share something about your character Do you relate to her in real lifeI am portraying the character of Radha Pandey Happy Pandeyrsquos mother I feel connected to this character because family means everything to her and she loves her children immensely I like her simplicity and the way she lives her life happily is something I really admire about her The character is very young at heart and I am fortunate to play Happy Pandeyrsquos mother in this wonderful showTell us about your experience of shooting for your characterThe experience has been fantastic The first time I went to shoot I knew I had to play Baalveerrsquos mother but I had no clue that there will be so many kids around calling me Dadi laughs I got stunned as I have never seen myself be old enough to be addressed or looked upon as a grandmother but I went with the flow and agreed to it as part of an actorrsquos lifeBaalveer Returns has a legacy of its own What makes your character stand outI believe a pure performance makes my character stand out lively and lovable by the audience since I am not using any catchphrase takiyakalam in the show I am already receiving lots of love and positive responses from all my fans on social media handlesIs there any kind of preparation you have done for this roleMy character from the show hails from Kanpur so I had to learn the Kanpuriya tone and get myself acquainted to use ldquoHumrdquo instead of Main so it was the body language and the accent that I have worked on I always have to keep my saree in a certain way to make me look more matured and had to prepare myself to dance like a person from a small town like Kanpur who cannot just freak out or dance like a dancer So I believe that these two things are of utmost importance for this character and gradually I have developed itWhat do you love the most about your characterMy character in the show is very lively peppy and funloving and I love this the most about it With her grandchildren she becomes a small kid herself I remember we had a particular scene where the kids go and get themselves a Candy Floss but Radharsquos complaint was why they didnrsquot consider bringing one for her So the simplicity and the childlike innocence of the character makes me fall in love with Radha Pandey every dayTell us more about the new chapter of Baalveer ReturnsThe viewers have witnessed the thrill and fun quotient of the show going up a notch When he was Debu it was an innocent character but when he is Happy the character is offering much more to the audience So whatever Happy does his family members are equally involved with him Every character of Baalveer Returns is curated so beautifully and there is a tremendous amount of hard work which has gone behind it We have put our best step forward and are equally enjoying this journey while having fun I have spent 2025 years in this industry but it is a learning curve and an enriching experienceHow has the experience been shooting with the entire cast and crewThe experience of shooting has been excellent We have developed an excellent rapport with each other in this short period We are like a family now
