Chandni Bhagwanani, who portrays Pakhi in the popular TV show “Anupamaa,” recently opened up about dealing with online hate from fans. Despite the negative comments, she remains unfazed and committed to her role.
“Anupamaa” continues to captivate audiences and consistently tops the TRP charts. While the show and its characters are widely loved, some characters, particularly the antagonists, receive significant online backlash. Chandni Bhagwanani, who plays the strong-headed and often rude character Pakhi, is one such actor facing this challenge. However, she remains unaffected by the negativity.
In an interview, Chandni explained that receiving online hate signifies she’s effectively portraying her character. She believes that the audience’s dislike for Pakhi indicates she is fulfilling her role’s purpose. “If people are not liking me, that means I am serving the purpose of the character,” she said. Chandni appreciates the opportunity to play a unique role different from her previous work, focusing solely on her performance and the audience’s preferences.
Chandni Bhagwanani took over the role of Pakhi from Muskan Bamne after “Anupamaa” took a five-year leap. Bamne opted out of the role to avoid playing a mother onscreen, leading to Chandni’s entry. Since then, Chandni has embraced the character, delivering a compelling performance that resonates with viewers.
The current storyline in “Anupamaa” centers around the protagonist, Anupama, facing a significant setback after losing her cooking competition trophy. As she navigates this tough phase, most of her relatives turn their backs on her. Meanwhile, the Shah family urges her to attend Dimpy and Titu’s wedding.
