Shooting Dhadkan Zindaggi Kii feels like I am back in a Science class, says Benaf Dadachandji

TV show

Dhadkan Zindaggi Kii

is based on doctors and their lives, and actor Benaf Dadachandji is thrilled to play one on screen. She says, “Doctors are real-life heroes. To play one is firstly an honour and secondly, you get to learn so much about that field just being on set. It’s like you are back in your

Science

class,” she says.

In the show, produced by

Nilanjana Purkayasstha

and Herumb Khot,

Benaf

plays the role of Aditi who is a pathologist. She identifies with her character because that's how she functions in her real life. She says, “Honestly I can only relate to Aditi’s work ethics. Just like her, I am also extremely dedicated to my job and I take pride in what I do. I can multitask like her, as in I can balance my work and family life well, but emotionally I’m not like her at all. I would never try and make my marriage work if my partner is not interested in me. I believe what’s yours will be yours and what’s not yours will never be yours. My thought process is not as orthodox as her.”

The television industry has evolved in terms of content over the years. Benaf says, “I honestly feel it’s just this show that’s different in terms of content. Generally, most of the TV shows, not that I watch everything, but whenever I surf channels, I see a lot of regressive content. So I hope our show becomes the turning point and motivates others to try something new,” she says.

So what are her learnings from the entertainment industry? “This industry is unpredictable. You should be grateful when work happens and not crib when there is too much work. Just stay focused and be happy,” she concludes.
