Anita Raaj, who is back on Colors’ popular show Choti Sarrdaarni, speaks to us about her new avatar

What will be the new traits of Kulwant Kaur Dhillon?

I am not in a position to talk about the changes. But the audience is going to love the new avatar of Kulwant. I am really excited to be back in the show.

How will you define your character?

She is a strong, fearless and dynamic woman. For her, family is everything. Playing this character has given me a huge fan base and that too from all age groups.

How is the environment on the sets of Choti Sarrdaarni?

I have always experienced love and affection from co-actors and technicians. That gives me a different high. I also love my co-stars; the journey of two-and-a-half-years is indeed special.

Any particular memory from the sets?

When we shot in Delhi, the outdoor shooting was special, because you tend to spend more time with your co-stars.

How do you break the monotony of a daily show?

I am a hyperactive person and love to be busy all the time. I chant, I go to the gym and don’t sit idle. So, I don’t have to face the monotony.

Web series are ruling the entertainment industry. Would you like to be a part of any web content?

I am a greedy actor and I love to perform a good role in front of the camera. Whatever the medium, I am always looking forward to a good role.

How will you sum up your journey of 40 years in the industry?

I started working at the age of 18 or19, so yes it’s been a long journey. I have no complaints. I think I am blessed. I took a sabbatical when I became a mother and enjoyed the time with my child.

Mental happiness is a huge concern. How do you deal with this?

I am into Buddhism and I chant on a regular basis. The pandemic has taught us the value of our family and friends. We need to be surrounded with light-hearted people. That will help us. Fitness is also an integral part of my life. A healthy body leads to a healthy mind.
