I have been living as Mirabai, not as Lavina, says actress

Mumbai, Sep 14 : The ongoing track of Vighnaharta Ganesh highlights the past and present life of Mirabai where in both her lives, she is a dedicated devotee of Lord Krishna and worships him religiously.

Essaying the pivotal role of Mirabai is actress Lavina Tandon.

She talks about depicting this character on-screen and how she prepared herself for this role.On how the actress brings emotions to her character, she replies: "I do believe in the ultimate supremacy of God, and I am a person full of faith.So, it gets easier for me to get into the emotion of the character because to play the role of Mirabai who is a devotee of Lord Krishna is a blessing.

To bring out the character, I am seen in a yellow-colored saree donned with intricate flower jewellery.""Further adding to the essence of the look, I also carry an instrument called Ektara that Mirabai used to play.

I believe along with delivering dialogues, looks also play an instrumental role as they help bring out the best depiction of a character.The feel of the set and the character of Param Krishna looks so real to me that when I am sitting on the set and rehearsing, I automatically get into the zone of Mirabai," she adds.

Lavina further shares about her shooting experience and says that everybody on the show is working as a team, from the makeup to the hair department, the creative to the costume to assistant directors.She says: "They helped me prepare the Dohas and get into the skin of my role.They made me understand a few dialogues which are in pure Hindi and Sanskrit.

The captain of our ship, our director, JP sir, has been a very big help."While talking about the preparation work she has done for the role, she reveals: "When I got to know that I am playing the character of Mirabai, I started researching on Mirabai and read stories about Lord Krishna and Radha.My creatives have been very helpful and provided me with the Dohas and Bhajans beforehand so that I can get enough time to practice them.

""The icing on the cake is that when sitting in front of Lord Krishna idol I feel there is some connection.When I have to look into his eyes and say a particular dialogue it comes so naturally.

I ask my production team to hand over that murti of Lord Krishna.Since the time I have been shooting I dont think I have been living as Lavina, but as Mirabai," she concludes.
