Dhruv Tara-Samay Sadi Se Pare actor Gulfam Khan Hussain has joined the cast of Gehna: Zevar Ya Zanjeer on Dangal. She said that though she was getting a lot of offers on TV, she took a break and waited for something strong and impactful to come through.
“Let’s say I was missing the adrenaline. I got a lot of offers and calls for TV in the last few months. I had taken a conscious year-long break to catch my breath and travel the world. In this show, my character is one that you would love to hate. After a long time, I’m playing a gray character,” she said.
Talking about the show, she said, “Gehna: Zevar Ya Zanjeer signifies that a cage will be a cage irrespective of it being made of gold. It’s metaphorically significant. People think that if a girl is married off to a well-off family, she will be happy, but many a time that’s not the case. All that glitters might not be gold.”
When it comes to balancing her personal and professional lives, Gulfam manages it smoothly. She said, “We have a few days off a month, so we can plan some breathers accordingly. My husband too travels a lot for work; hence, we as a team juggle everything efficiently.”
A message to the audience from your character in the show? “The message that every show gives is mostly the same, a woman needs to stand up for her rights, and people around her should help in that. If family supports positively, there is little one can’t do,” she ended.
