Helly Shah On Playing Contrasting Roles In Deda, Zyada Mat Udd: ‘Exciting, Exhausting'

In an interview with Tellychakkar, Helly shared that balancing these opposing personalities wasn't easy, especially when it came to her physical appearance. Deda required Helly to gain weight and mimic the physique of a pregnant woman, which necessitated dietary and body language modifications. On the other hand, Zyada Mat Udd needed to be healthy and toned to maintain the sharp and polished appearance of an air hostess. 'Playing such different roles at the same time was both exciting and exhausting. For Deda, I had to put on some weight to look the part, and for Zyada Mat Udd, I had to get back into shape quickly. Managing the diet and looking for both roles was extremely difficult, but I was determined to give my best," she said. Deda is Helly's first Gujarati film which was released on July 4.

The show, which airs on ColorsTV and JioHotstar, follows the life of airline cabin staff members. Zyada Mat Udd also stars Shehzada Shaikh and Aishwarya Sakhuja. The show is primarily about Goldie, the wealthy, spoiled son of an airline owner.
