Rachi Sharma, who has walked into Aami Dakini straight from the success of her earlier show, Kumkum Bhagya, is happy to have garnered an opportunity to showcase a different role. Aami Dakiini on Sony TV is a supernatural thriller produced by SVF Productions, where she is paired with Hitesh Bharadwaj. Sheen Dass plays the role of Dakini.
Says Rachi, “This is a completely different genre when compared to Kumkum Bhagya. That is a very big difference for me. Meera is soft when it comes to her family. However, she is assertive to the outside world and takes the place of her mother in the house. I like her not-giving-up attitude, which makes her strong as an individual.”
Meera has her own importance in the story of Aami Dakini. She has the goodness that can fight eye to eye with the evil spirit.
Talking about an interest she has had in watching fantasy, supernatural and mystery-laden plots from childhood, Rachi states, “I love watching such mysterious stories. I have been a curious person since my childhood days. Horror stories have always attracted me. I never felt I would be part of this genre with respect to my work. This is a new territory to me. I have heard the aspect of horror only in stories, now I am living it.”
Rachi aspires to learn and contribute through her work in the industry. “I never want to stop as an actor. The first aspect I look for in any new project is difference. This is a horror show with an amazing blend of drama and romance. You will never see me playing the ‘typical’ girl.”
Ask her whether she was apprehensive of the titular character of Dakini holding centre stage, as always happens, and she avers, “Never. No show can go forward with only one character. Yes, the title is Aami Dakini, and the evil spirit here is mighty powerful. But Meera has her own importance in the story. She has the goodness that can fight eye to eye with the evil spirit.”
Rachi will remain loyal to her fans, as she states, “I got so much love from my audience for Durga aur Charu, Kumkum Bhagya. I am sure they are enjoying watching me in Aami Dakini. I assure that nobody will be disappointed.”
Best of luck!!
