Exclusive- Anuja Sathe gets candid about the preparations behind essaying Karpura Devi in Chakravarti Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan

Chakravarti Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan, television's grand historical epic, continues to captivate audiences with tremendous storytelling, grand visuals, and strong performances. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now , who plays the character of Karpura Devi, exclusively shared with Times Of India TV what went behind preparing for the role. The actress also shared her excitement about working with the same team again after . Anuja on working with the team again Very, very exciting because the last show that I did on TV was with the same production house, and now I'm again coming back on TV with the same production itself. So, it's very exciting. It's a great feeling because I know everybody, I've worked with them, and I know how they mount their historical shows. They are specialised, we can say, in making historicals and everything. So, it's great. It's great to be back. And back with the people that I already worked with. What went behind carving a role like Kapura Devi? So, basically, this part of the culture I was completely unaware of. Culture, history and reading up about it and knowing who was involved in this particular region and how the kings ruled and what the history was that went behind it and all of that. That was very new to me. Also, the language part where we have kept the nuances of a little bit of Marwadi and a combination of Hindi. Of course, it's more of Hindi and very little Marwadi is used. But I think that accent and those nuances matter a lot. So, I had to have an understanding of how those words are spoken, what the accent is and how these things are said. Because in the meantime, I had done lots of different work, where it was modern Hindi, English mix, English as we call it. And now going back to the roots, the pure Hindi-based with little Marwadi was a little tough part for me in the beginning. So, I sat with the creatives, and I read the script. We had episodes in our hands already. So, I sat with them so that they could correct me at that given point in time and tell me how it's pronounced. These kinds of preparations went on into putting something into this character. Keep reading this space for more updates.

Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par debuts with Rs 11.70 Cr day 1 collection , matches Laal Singh Chaddha but falls short of 3 Idiots

's comeback vehicle Sitaare Zameen Par has opened to Rs 11.70 crore at the domestic box office on its first day, matching the Day 1 figures of his previous release Laal Singh Chaddha. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now While this is a promising start, especially after the mixed reception to Chaddha, the film narrowly misses surpassing the opening day collection of his much-loved classic 3 Idiots, which had notched Rs 12.99 crore on Day 1. The film, which has been positioned as an emotional, feel-good story in the same vein as Taare Zameen Par, has clearly sparked audience curiosity. Industry insiders credit the film's opening to a blend of Aamir's emotional brand of storytelling and the nostalgia surrounding his earlier socially sensitive film's major collection came from it's Hindi version where it collected Rs 11.50 crore while the rest came from Tamil and Telugu. When it came to Laal SIngh Chaddha- the Hindi version contributed Rs 11.6 crore while the rest came from Tamil and Telugu. However, while matching Laal Singh Chaddha's Day 1 performance may seem encouraging on paper, the comparison comes with a caveat—Chaddha released amid controversies, while Sitaare Zameen Par enjoyed a far more positive pre-release buzz and wider screen count. In that context, falling behind 3 Idiots—a film that released way back in 2009—is being seen as a missed opportunity. Here's how Sitaare Zameen Par compares to other Aamir Khan Day 1 openers: Thugs of Hindostan – Rs 52.25 crore – Rs 52.25 crore Dhoom 3 – Rs 36.22 crore – Rs 36.22 crore Dangal – Rs 29.78 crore – Rs 29.78 crore PK – Rs 26.63 crore Talaash – Rs 13.55 crore – Rs 13.55 crore 3 Idiots – Rs 12.99 crore Sitaare Zameen Par – Rs 11.70 crore Laal Singh Chaddha – Rs 11.70 crore Ghajini – Rs 10.20 crore Secret Superstar – Rs 4.80 crore Fanaa – Rs 3.97 crore – Rs 3.97 crore Dhobi Ghat – Rs 3.05 crore Rang De Basanti – Rs 2.90 crore While Sitaare Zameen Par hasn't cracked the top 5 Aamir Khan openers, the weekend holds promise. If positive word of mouth kicks in, it could well make up ground and find a place among the actor's more successful box office runs.

DYK This Salman Khan's Co-Star Almost Left Bollywood?

Last Updated: Born in Jodhpur, Chitrangda Singh did her schooling in Meerut and completed her graduation from Delhi. The Bollywood industry is considered highly competitive as actors often face intense pressure to secure roles, get visibility, navigate the numbers game of the box office and gain critical acclaim. For many, it is seen as cut-throat with newcomers required to prove themselves immediately and maybe encountering difficulties in gaining a second chance. Despite these challenges, an outsider, who made her Bollywood debut in 2005, almost left the industry, said no to intimate scenes and still managed to make a mark for herself in the Hindi film industry. We are talking about Chitrangda Singh. Born in Jodhpur, Chitrangda did her schooling in Meerut and completed her graduation from Delhi. Her journey in showbiz started with modelling and later on, she transitioned into films. Chitrangda made her acting debut in 2005 with the film Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi, co-starring Kay Kay Menon and Shiney Ahuja. In the same year, she appeared in another thriller film, Kal: Yesterday and Tomorrow. After that, there was no looking back for her and she starred in a number of big-budget projects like Desi Boyz, with Akshay Kumar and John Abraham, I Me Aur Main, Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3, Bazaar, Khel Khel Mein and others. But did you know there was a time when Chitrangda almost left the film industry after she felt betrayed and cheated? Speaking about stepping away from Kushan Nandy's Babumoshai Bandookbaaz, in one of her interviews, she said that the director compelled her to do intimate scenes. She also mentioned that despite being present on the set, Nawazuddin Siddiqui remained quiet. However, Nandy did not agree. Denying the charges, he stated that Chitrangda had problems with the script. She recently grabbed the audience's attention with her performance in the killer-comedy Housefull 5. Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, the film is a hit and has collected more than Rs 170 crore at the domestic box office. Chitrangda will now be sharing screen space with superstar Salman Khan in the upcoming untitled project, reportedly based on the Galwan Valley clash between Indian and Chinese troops in 2020. This marks the actress' first on-screen collaboration with Salman. In the film, Salman will reportedly portray Colonel B. Santosh Babu, the commanding officer of the 16 Bihar Regiment, who led Indian troops during the Galwan conflict. First Published:
