Zohra Mehra from MX Exclusive `Nakaab` is fierce, feisty, a go-getter and someone who has worked her way to the top of the entertainment industry, and all on her own terms. Played by the vivacious Mallika Sherawat, Zohra is a leading and influential TV producer, and the actress says she relates to the perseverance of her character. But could it be that her character is inspired from real-life TV czarina Ekta Kapoor?
When asked about the same, Mallika Sherawat says, “I have immense respect for Ekta and all that she has achieved in what was always a male dominated industry. And while many may like to compare, my character Zohra is in fact made of a strong fabric, and I can totally relate to her. I started out from scratch and worked hard to reach where I am today. All I can say is that it takes a lot of perseverance to make it on your own. As a single woman, it was tough, there are hurdles that you might think you will never be able to cross but eventually you make your way through. Kudos to all the women out there, trying to carve their own path.”
