‘Qurbaan Hua’ actor Neelam Pathania’s inspiration is dream girl Hema Malini!

#NeelamPathania aka #GodambhariBhattDhyani in #QurbaanHua has been creating ripples on the show for the kind of personality she is. And the audience seems to be enjoying her act.

“My character Godambhari is versatile in its own way. She is comical, sarcastic, emotional, loving and has negative shades too. We all have seen such characters in real life. I think we both are similar in the way we are emotional and loving. I like the comic streak in her, and that’s something I am learning from her and do try to carry that funny side home because it is quite entertaining,” she adds.

On the response around her role, Pathania says, “So far it has been immensely positive. I get a lot of messages on Instagram and Facebook. Fans like to address me as Mamiji and Dhari Devi Dekhni Chayi.”

Pathania feels that the title of the show suits the storyline. “This is a story about Neel and Chahat, who’re going against their families, religious barriers created by our society to fulfil their love and it’s really beautiful to see how honest and true they are. I think sacrifices are part of one’s life,” she adds.

The actor has nice things to say about the producers of the show, Sonali Jaffar and Amir Jaffar. “Sonali ma’am and Amir sir are wonderful human beings. They always treat us with respect and their humbleness at meetings and discussions touches you. The team is very good and our director Tabrez Sir really helped me in improving my performance,” she shares.

According to Pathania, as an actor, the best thing about the entertainment industry is that it gives an opportunity to experience talent and allows actors to live different characters.

“I’m loving my journey. I’ve always been creative, so if this had not worked out I would have been a music teacher because singing and music is my passion along with acting,” says the actor, who listens to music to unwind after a hard day at work.

Talking about the TV industry, Pathania says that now the audience wants to watch content that they can relate to. “And, our industry is churning interesting stories that are not just relatable but entertaining at the same time. While things were not going well in between, the industry is evolving for better now. There is also healthy competition when it comes to providing wholesome entertainment to viewers,” adds Pathania, who’s inspired by actor Hema Malini.
