Rinku Kamarkar shocks TV Town by going bald!
Rinku Karmakar aka Kamla Tai of Ye Vaada Raha which airs on Zee TV, recently shocked the industry by shaving her head!
A source recounts that it was Rinku’s idea to go bald for boosting the TRPs of the show. “Let us make Kamla Tai bald,” she suggested to her team during a serious discussion. The only issue Rinky faced was convincing her real life husband Kiran Karmarkar about the “bald” step.
“I wanted to do something different and challenging. I wanted to see how far I could go as an actress for the show. So I decided to go bald. The decision shocked everyone. After discussing it with the creative team, we successfully incorporated it in the sequence and the date was set for the feat. Now the challenge was to convince my husband Kiran, as he had specifically warned me ‘not to go bald’ when I had shared the idea with him,” says Rinku. “So the moment I reached home after finalizing the date, I told him, ‘you also have gone bald at times in your shows when the character demanded it, and I have put up with that. So, now it’s your turn to accept this change in me’,” she adds with a smile.
The new look had everyone staring in disbelief. Ask her what she thinks of herself, pat comes the reply, “I think I look very cute without hair. The wig was anyway giving me scalp trouble, so I have a sense of relief now. To be honest, Kamla Tai is a huge character on television. So it’s a conscious effort to keep doing something bigger and better to boost the ratings. The only time the change hit me was when my little son refused to hug me saying ‘ladkiya bald nahi hoti’,” she says.
Talking about the how hassle free dressing up for shoots has become now, she says, "I was fed up of wearing a wig as the pins that held it together would prick and hurt my scalp. So I told my unit that it would be better if I went bald. They conveyed it to the makers, who were shocked to hear this. When they asked me, I told them that taking such a step would enhance the character.”
Ye Vaada Raha on Zee is being produced by Mahesh Pandey, Vikas Seth and Deepak Kumar and is receiving a fair response from the viewers.
