Rati Pandey sacrifice heavily embroidered lehengas
Most women jump at any opportunity to dress up and get glamourous;
but Rati Pandey who plays Indira on Zee TV's Hitler Didi was one of the
very few women to sacrifice one such opportunity for the sake of
character integrity. While shooting for her sangeet ceremony on the
channel's Holi special, Rati was given a vast choice of beautiful
heavily embroidered lehengas along with jewellery that would make any
woman jump for joy . Instead Rati politely refused to wear any of the
choices laid out in front of her stating that since Indira believed in
austerity and lived in Chandni Chowk, she would not be able to afford
any of the lehengas in front of her but would instead wear something
commensurate to her character's standard of living.
So while the Sangeet ceremony saw actresses like Sara Khan and Ragini
Nandwani all decked up in their celebratory best with heavy lehengas
and
equally gorgeous jewellery, the bride-to-be was seen in a comparatively
simple Patiala suit looking equally gorgeous in her simplicity.
"I didn't think that Indira being the kind of person she is, would
ever splurge on something so expensive even at her own wedding. Given
that she is a typical Chandni Chowk girl, a patiala suit would have been
the best option. Sometimes you just have to think from the point of
view of your character and not get into that space of looking better
than everyone else. Maintaining the integrity of the character you are
playing is equally important," said actress Rati Pandey.
