Actress Monika Khanna will soon be seen in the character of Teji in Zee TV’s new show Ikk Kudi Punjab Di. The actress will play a powerful character and is happy to have bagged the role.
Says, Monika, “I play the character named Teji, who’s a confident and self-reliant woman. She does a great job managing her home, looking after her in-laws, and helping her husband grow his business. Since I play a Punjabi character on the screen, I’m thrilled about all the festivals that will be a part of the show. I love Punjabi culture because the people are incredibly generous and warm-hearted. They’re known for being friendly and making you feel like part of their family as soon as you meet them. The show promises to be an enjoyable mix of entertainment and an exploration of Punjabi traditions, making it an exciting project to be a part of. To get ready for each character I play, I do my homework to prepare it.”
Work is worship for Monika. She also believes that if one loves his/her work, it turns out to be less tedious. “If you were to ask me, I would says I want to work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. I don’t even want a single day off. However, if I had a family or if I were in love with someone, certain things might change, and priorities could shift.”
She adds, “It’s undeniably hectic, but if you have a genuine passion for your work, if you approach it with honesty, and if you truly enjoy being on set and hearing those words, ‘Lights! Camera! Action!’, you’ll never get tired of it. You’ll always want to be part of your show and feel alive when you’re on set. Personally, I have a deep hunger for work, and I yearn for it. I consider myself extremely hardworking, and I take pride in treating every show as if it’s my last opportunity to give my best.”
Best of luck, Monika!!
