Making people laugh not an easy job; Vidisha Srivastava


By Rajesh Ahuja

Having carved a niche for herself as an actress in television shows of diverse genres, including mythological,  fantasy and romantic shows, Vidisha Srivastava is now making a foray in the comedy genre with her entry as the iconic Anita Bhabi in the popular show Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hai.

Ahead of her entry in Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hai , Vidisha Srivastava said that as an actor,  she looks forward to exploring new challenges,  including comedy..


Vidisha Srivastava says that stepping in the shoes of iconic Anita Bhabi has been extremely challenging 




'As an actor, I believe you will stagnate if you don’t accept new challenges, learn, and evolve. I always look forward to exploring new genres, especially comedy. I have been part of the fantasy, mythological, historical, and romantic dramas. But this time, I was mentally prepared to explore a comedy genre, which pushed me to get out of my comfort zone.

I must say, comedy is the most difficult genre. It is easy to make people emotional, but it isn't easy to make them laugh. Many nuances like expression, comic timing, and body language come into play to make people laugh, and one must work extremely hard to get that right,'Vidisha Srivastava said in a chat.

Vidisha Srivastava said that as an actor she could closely  relate to the character of Anita Bhabi.

'There are several similarities between Anita Bhabi and Vidisha Srivastava. Anita Bhabi is contemporary and 'today's a woman'. Her personality is quite strong and stands out, which is one of the most important aspects of her character. She has a mind of her own and is quite bold. She stands up for what she believes in and never gets bogged down easily.

And I am somewhat like this in real life. So, when I was chosen for the role, I could relate to her and fit in easily,,'Vidisha said.

 The actress said that she  feels elated to be playing Anita Bhabi and being a part of an iconic show like Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hai.

'Anita Bhabi is an iconic character who enjoys massive popularity and fan following. I feel elated and honoured to be given this opportunity. When I got selected, my first reaction was, ‘Oh my gosh! Is this really happening!’. I was ecstatic. I have always enjoyed watching the show for its entertaining characters and humorous plots.

I had never imagined that I would be a part of it as one of its lead characters one day. I am thrilled to take on this huge mandate and, most importantly, share the screen with the accomplished and talented actors Aasif Sheikh, Rohitashv Gouri, and Shubhangi Atre. I am grateful to Sanjay and Binaiferr Kohli Ji for believing in my abilities and giving me this wonderful opportunity. I feel truly blessed. Everyone around me, especially my friends and family, has been on top of the moon ever since they knew this,'she said.

Vidisha said that her family was on cloud nine on receiving news of her assaying the new Anita Bhabi.

'My family is an ardent fan of Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai, and they watch the show regularly. So, when I was approached for the Anita Bhabi role, my entire family got super excited. None of us had imagined that an opportunity to essay Anita Bhabi’s role would come my way one day.

Even during the auditions, my family was eager to know how it went and if I got selected. And when I broke the news to them, they couldn’t contain their happiness. It was like a mini celebration at home,'she said.

 Asked about her favourite character from Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hai,  Vidisha Srivastava said, 'While each character is quite entertaining and has its unique traits, Vibuti Narayan Mishra is my favourite. It is played by my favourite actor – the very talented and accomplished actor, Aasif Sheikh Ji. Secondly, the role offers variety and has many characters within a single role.

It is just not easy to carry them so beautifully and at ease. I have thoroughly enjoyed each of these fun characters. His comic timing is so perfect. Hats off to him. And now, I am blessed to get an opportunity to work closely with him. There is so much to learn from him..'

 Nafisa Ali, not Padmini Kolhapure, was the first choice for Nasir Hussain's Zamane Ko Dikhana Hai  By Rajesh Ahuja   Padmini Kolhapure may today seem the obvious choice for Nasir Hussain's musical thriller Zamane Ko Dikhana Hai with her natural beauty and vivacity but not many are aware that she was not the original choice for the film.  The original choice for the female lead in Zamane Ko Dikhana Hai , which created a buzz for its chartbuster music,  was former Miss India Nafisa Ali, it has been revealed in Rishi Kapoor's autobiography Khullam Khulla: Rishi Kapoor uncensored.  Writing in his autobiography,  Rishi Kapoor,  who was the male lead for the film, said, 'around the same time as Junoon (which was the debut cinematic venture of Nafisa Ali) , Nasir Hussain was drawing up a contract with Nafisa Ali to work with me in Zamaane Ko Dikhana Hai .
