Indira Krishna joins the cast of Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan, and says, 'This is different from all the roles I've played before'
Indira Krishna, known for her role in Durga – Atoot Prem Kahani, is making a television comeback in Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan. Actress Indira Krishna, last seen as the antagonist Paani Bai in Durga – Atoot Prem Kahani, is set to return to television with a new avatar in Ganga Mai Ki Betiyan, a fiction drama produced by Sargun Mehta and Ravie Dubey. Confirming the same, Indira shared, 'Yes, I will be part of the show and I'm playing a pivotal role. A very strong and interesting character. She's different at home and outside… a no-nonsense lady who talks straight.' She describes this character as a notable departure from her previous roles. 'This is different from all the roles I've played before. I've kept a different style this time. After a long time, my look will be different too. She's like a Dabangg character from a UP-Benarsi background—but we've kept it subtle so it doesn't look fake. A lot of actors try using the dialect to sound like the lingo, but I'm playing it smartly—with gestures and a subtle voice. It is challenging and I am enjoying it.' The actress who has been part of shows like Krishnadasi, Krishnaben Khakhrawala, and Saavi Ki Savaari is looking forward to be working with Ravie Dubey. She says, 'I've acted with Ravie in the film Ramayana, where he's playing Lakshmana and I play his stepmother Kaushalya. He's a very good human being, so it's fun to reunite with him on this show.'
