They reiterate that the full potential of any character is extracted only by the dexterity of the actor embodying it.

Supriya Pathak
She became immensely popular for her always confused yet funny character of Hansa in Khichdi. Hansa became a household name, instead of Supriya. The legendary Supriya broke the mould through this innocent, funny image of Hansa to devious Dhankor in Goliyon ki Raasleela Ram-Leela who was unforgiving and vengeful towards her enemies. To revisit these power packed performances, the audience can watch Khichdi on Disney Plus Hotstar and Goliyon ki Raasleela Ram-Leela on MX Player

Manu Rishi Chadda
Manu Rishi Chadda essayed the comic role of a Pakistani tenant Sajjad in the light-hearted drama series United Kacche.
