Summary
- Rakshanda Khan known for glamorous roles, now plays a rural character
- Dhaakad Beera is her first project without any element of glamour
- Rakshanda initially unsure about the role, but it has worked out well
In October 2025, acclaimed actress Rakshanda Khan, known for her roles in popular television shows like Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin, Kasamh Se, and Naagin, is exploring a new character far removed from her usual world of style and glamour. Her latest project, Dhaakad Beera, sees Rakshanda playing a character rooted in a rural setting, a stark contrast to the sophisticated, urban roles she has often portrayed.
Rakshanda acknowledges that most of her previous roles have involved an element of glamour, whether it was the character of Mallika in Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin or Tanya in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. Even in Naagin, her character Sumitra was a housewife who later transformed into a naagin, with drama and style always present. However, in Dhaakad Beera, Rakshanda is taking on a completely different challenge, playing a character without any glamour.
The actress admits that when the makers approached her for the role, she was initially unsure, even questioning whether they had called the right person. However, after going through the narration and finding the character well-written, Rakshanda decided to take on the challenge. Now, she is receiving praise for her performance in this new, rustic role, which marks a significant departure from her previous on-screen personas.
