TRENDSETTER
Wear your attitude

Raja Natwarlal
I am thinking about the character of a conman that I have to slip into soon. Just like an actor aspires to be Dilip Kumar or Amitabh

Living a dream
Actors always are on the lookout for fresh concepts and content-driven shows, which enhance their acting capabilities. Vinita Joshi, who gained recognition after Navya and Saraswatichandra on Star Plus, seems to be living her dream as she presents her acting abilities in a unique show titled Bhatak Lena
Bawre. Vinita said, "In Bawre, I essay the female protagonist Yamini, who is a singer, and I am super-excited. Playing a singer is a very different experience, as the way they communicate is very different. I personally watch a lot of videos to see how singers perform, as it would help me get into the skin of the character."
