MUMBAI:
Amber & Dhara, the conjoined twins who are already facing problems
in their life are now to come across a bigger dilemma when their
own father, Dev Shukla who had abandoned them and their mother when
they were babies comes back in their lives as the prosecutor out
to send them to jail or worse get them hanged for their crime. Coming
back to television after a long time in a powerful performance is
the high spirited actor Sudesh Berry who marks his entry as the
father of Amber & Dhara and as the prosecutor pitted against
his own wife Lata played by Mona Ambegaonkar who is also playing
the lawyer defending her daughters.
Talking about how he took up this role in Amber Dhara, Sudesh says,
"It is all intuition. When I read the script and the story
line ahead I realized that the role is very challenging. I am a
low profile actor not at all in the rat race to make it to the top.
What matters to me is the story and intuitively I felt that there
was some kind of challenge for me to act in Amber Dhara as the father
who has come back as the prosecutor."
He adds further "I don't take this as a negative role just
because the character has been shown to leave the mother and kids
when they were babies. Every family has situations within their
family unit, which make them act like they do, and what society
perceives as negative might not actually be negative at all. Similarly
here my character had its own reasons for his earlier actions. I
think I am playing a grey and not a black, out and out negative
role."
"I am not a lakir ka fakir actor and in fact in real life I
am a very talkative person so I am most comfortable with the lengthy
dialogues that are normally dished out for a prosecutor's role.
I would say it is an emotional orgy for me that I am enjoying to
the fullest" ends Sudesh on a lighter note.
They say life moves in mysterious ways.... Lata (played by Mona
Ambegaonkar) comes forward to defend her daughters, she takes up
her old profession of being a lawyer which she gave up after Amber
Dhara were born and went to Panchgani to her fathers place after
her husband abandoned her since she gave birth to conjoined twins.
Lata is shocked to see that prosecution has her own husband Dev,
who is out to get his own daughters grilled and prove guilty.
"Our
audiences have been anticipating the entry of Amber Dhara's father
for a long time. The introduction of the father comes at a very
crucial time in the story. Amber Dhara are convicted for the murder
of Kamini (Akshat's mother played by Jaya Bhattacharya). The biggest
question here is that even if amber has committed a crime, why should
Dhara be convicted for it ?? The character of Dev required a strong
persona and larger than life depiction. Mr Sudesh Berry completely
fit the bill and ensures power packed performance" says Siddharth
Kumar Tewary - Creative Director and Producer Swastik Pictures.
