Famous actress Padmaja Rao is presently enthralling viewers with her gripping depiction of Kusuma in the well-liked soap opera "Bhagyalakshmi." Padmaja is doing everything possible to give Kusuma more nuance and authenticity, whether it's by taking on the rebellious part of her personality or speaking up for justice.
In a recent interview with ETimes TV, Padmaja discussed her experience playing Kusuma and the pleasures and difficulties of playing such a complex role. Although Kusuma's character doesn't have any real-world precedents, Padmaja has done a fantastic job bringing the fiery demeanor to life on screen.
Unlike my other on-screen personas, I was unable to find any references for Kusuma. Neither my acquaintances nor my relatives, who come from a well-educated household, display the same boldness that Kusuma does in the episode. I have never met someone as dominant as Kusuma in my life," Padmaja remarked.
She continued, "As a result, I had no resources to help me comprehend the role I play in Bhagyalakshmi. Without any kind of benchmark, fulfilling the requirements of playing Kusuma initially proved to be difficult. Nevertheless, I think that in the end, rather than depending on outside references, my instinct led the way."
Padmaja's portrayal of Kusuma, a figure who has recently generated notice and prompted conversations, demonstrates her commitment to her craft. In light of her approach to the position, Padmaja stressed the value of perseverance and hard work.
I am a strong proponent of the idea that you get what you sow. I have gone to great lengths to accurately represent Kusuma. Seeing the public embrace my representation without harboring any ill will toward my on-screen persona is a blessing. I think such acknowledgment is well-earned when I give my all to represent Kusuma in an authentic manner," Padmaja said.
"Viewers are very intelligent now," she said. To be honest, they are the best critics."
Padmaja's subtle portrayal of Kusuma is evidence of her skill and range as an actress. She is still appreciative of the chance to bring such a nuanced character to life on television, even as her portrayal of her captures audiences. Padmaja Rao's outstanding performance in "Bhagyalakshmi" has left an enduring impression on viewers due to her unwavering dedication and enthusiasm.
