Television actress Sudha Chandran is one of the most recognizable faces in the world of television, thanks to her stint on Ekta Kapoor’s daily shows. With stints in shows like Kaahin Kissi Roz, K Street Pali Hill, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, she gained a huge fan following in the early 2000s. In a recent interview, Sudha recalled her days on the sets of Kaahin Kissi Roz and how she solidified her name in the industry.
The Naagin actress sat down for a chat on Hindi Rush’s YouTube channel, where she was asked about her time working for Balaji Telefilms. She remembers signing Kaahin Kissii Roz and said, “I got married around the same time I signed the show, and people were convinced I would get divorced because they said I would never have time to come home. I got a lot of support from my husband, who told me to take advantage of this opportunity, and for 8 years straight, I worked day and night. But it was fun, because you were earning fame and money. The money I am earning today from television is because of those characters I played.”
She further appreciated the production house and said, “We were pampered on the sets of Balaji’s shows. We had vans with dressing tables and there was no pressure. Many of us came from films and didn’t get jobs. Sudha added that witnessing the June (passion) on the sets of Balaji’s shows made her happy and made her want to work even harder. “When you start having the things that you manifested, like money and fame, you get even more involved. That’s the money I bought my house and my cars with,” the actor said.
Recalling her first paycheck for the aforementioned show, Sudha said, “Let me tell you that when I started working as Ramola Sikand, I used to charge Rs 3,000 a day. Today I charge 100 times more. It’s not about money; it’s about the fame and respect you have earned through that money… The dreams you could fulfill thanks to that money. That is the most important thing of all, and although my father had a house in Bombay“I was able to buy a house with that money.”
Sudha is currently a part of the television show Noyontara.
