Jewel in the crown

Renowned actress Nausheen Ali Sardar, who portrays the pivotal character of Chandrika in Zee TV’s latest show Vasudha, brings an intimate touch to her onscreen persona by incorporating jewellery from her personal collection. Known for her timeless grace, Nausheen believes these traditional pieces not only enhance the authenticity of her character but also deepen the emotional connection, as she sees a reflection of herself in Chandrika.

With an extensive collection of ethnic jewellery, Nausheen often selects items to elevate Chandrika’s elegance and stature. Her thoughtful contributions to the character’s appearance reflect her dedication and investment in her craft.

“I always strive to infuse realism and emotional depth into my roles,” Nausheen explains. “One of the ways I do this is by collaborating closely with my team on the character’s look. Whether it’s the colour of the saree, makeup or jewellery, I love being part of the process. In the early days, I showed them my personal collection, and they were thrilled when I decided to wear pieces from it. I feel that incorporating these personal touches brings a piece of myself into the role,” she adds.
