Bhaweeka Chaudhary, who is seen in the show ‘Badall Pe Paon Hai’, talks about her role and camaraderie among actors on the sets

How do you see Lavanya’s character evolving in the upcoming episodes?

My character, Lavanya, is a strong, ambitious and independent girl who only feels weak when it comes to her relationship with Rajat. She has only one motive, which is to get back the love of her life, Rajat, and she will do whatever it takes to achieve that. Since Rajat got married, she has become completely helpless, and her only goal is to revive her earlier bond with him.

Is Lavanya the antagonist in the story?

Lavanya doesn’t come across as a villain, but rather as a character deeply affected by a big mistake that she made by leaving Rajat in the past. Her actions are driven by a strong emotional connection with him and a desire to correct the past, even if that means challenging Rajat’s current relationship with Bani. Lavanya’s character seems to be motivated by genuine feelings and a longing to make things right, rather than malicious intent. Despite her strength and independence, her desire for Rajat highlights her emotional vulnerability.

What are some of the challenges you've faced while playing the character?

I wouldn’t say challenge as such, but every character has its ups and downs, and drawing from those experiences provides motivation. Plus, I have observed how other actors have portrayed their grey characters in the past and taken notes from their approach, which has helped me shape and enhance my portrayal of Lavanya. As an actor, it's important to build and evolve your character, and I’ve focused on that aspect.

What’s it like working with Amandeep Sidhu and Aakash Ahuja?

Working with Amandeep in this show on Sony SAB is a lot of fun. Initially, I was curious about how things would go, but after getting to know her, I found that she has the same vibe as me. We get along well on sets, often chilling together and chatting about various topics. It’s great to have that kind of camaraderie. As for working with Akash, it's been a positive experience overall. Akash is a bit reserved and requires his own space, but we’ve developed a good rapport. Both Amandeep and Akash are great people and talented actors.

What has been your most memorable moment on sets?

The most memorable moments on sets are when all the actors gather for meals. This time is always special as we chat, gossip, and enjoy each other’s company. It feels like having a family on sets, especially for those who miss home-cooked meals. Everyone shares their lunch boxes, and this unity enhances our bond.
