Bendré: Carrying Grief Home From 'Raakh'
20 Jun
Summary
- Bendre found Mona's silent grief difficult to internalize.
- The role's emotional weight sometimes followed Bendre home.
- 'Raakh' is inspired by the 1970s Ranga-Billa case.
Sonali Bendre recently discussed the emotional depth required for her role as Mona in the Prime Video crime thriller 'Raakh.' Bendre revealed that the character's quiet grief and sparse dialogue necessitated a highly internalized performance.
She found that while acting with limited dialogue was manageable, the true challenge lay in shedding the character's emotional burden after filming each day. Bendre admitted that Mona's intense emotional state sometimes lingered, affecting her even at home, which she found unsettling.
The series 'Raakh' is a fictional investigative thriller set in the late 1970s. It draws inspiration from the real-life Ranga-Billa case, which involved the kidnapping and murder of siblings in Delhi. The show explores the confrontation between crime and justice through its fictional narrative.
Bendre credited the series' strong writing and thorough preparation for providing a solid foundation for her performance. She noted that over fifty percent of the work was completed through the quality of the material provided by the production team.
