Known for some of the popular shows like Ek Deewana Tha and Roop – Mard Ka Naya Swaroop, Donal Bisht will be seen in a power-packed role in the forthcoming show Tu Zakhm Hai that features her in the role of a psychologist. Set against the backdrop of vengeance, the show focuses on a romantic bond between her character Kavya Grewal and her kidnapper Viraj played by Gashmeer Mahajani. In an exclusive chat with Bollywood Hungama, the actress discussed how emotionally and physically challenging her role as Kavya Grewal was.
Giving a brief about her character in this chat session with Bollywood Hungama, Donal Bisht said, “ Kavya Grewal is a smart psychologist who is held hostage and going through this Stockholm Syndrome. But, deep down, she just wants to help people because she is an emotional person and empathizes with people. So that’s a strong point of Kavya which many don’t have. So, she is someone who can help people when they are facing problems, and even worse, when they themselves don't understand what the real problem is. But this girl knows because she understands people so well. More importantly, she's determined about what she wants to do, and to find her father, despite how she landed in trouble but still she's not losing it. She will never say, ‘Main thak gayi hoon’. Whatever the situation is, she's determined to overcome it. There is no ‘no’ for her and nothing which is impossible.
She continued, “But she does have a weak point? She becomes very attached to people because she is already in a problematic situation. But still, she wants to help other people. The empathizing factor eventually becomes a weakness as well. I think another weakness is Stockholm syndrome. She’s a human, she’s a typical girl who believes in, ‘waiting for a guy to love her like the way she is.’”
Donal revealed that she was the only positive character amidst a plethora of negative characters on screen and hence, she insisted that Kavya needed to get her emotions right. “It takes your body heart, soul, mind everything to get into the character. And to get into that zone of Kavya because you I need to look positive. That is the priority of the character because amongst all the negative people you see on the screen, she is positive. I know that needs to be seen on screen. Also, she acts and emotes differently with every character. That was a challenge. You can see her going through this whole journey where you see her change from a soft girl who gets trapped to how she becomes stronger and determined and eventually falls in love. But, the big challenge was to showcase all those emotions.”
Adding further, she shared, “Physically also, when I was shooting those intense scenes with holding me with his hands, I used to get bruised all over. It was all blue and black. Yet, I made sure to not let that pain reflect on my face and be in character all the time. I remember there was a scene where I had to be in the water and hold my breath. I don't know swimming and also, because of the dress I was wearing, I was floating. So people had to push me down and hold me for like three to four minutes and also, I had to hold my breath. Since I'm not a swimmer, I didn’t know how to hold my breath for so long. That was very difficult for me doing this physically. But I'm an actor and I love my job. Maybe that’s why I was able to do all that,” concluded the actress.
Tu Zakhm Hai is currently streaming on MX Player and features Gashmeer Mahajani as a Hawala King who kidnaps the innocent psychologist Kavya Grewal to seek revenge on her father.
