New Delhi: As India gears up to celebrate its 78th Independence Day, the collective spirit of patriotism and unity reverberates across the nation. Among those feeling the excitement is Brinda Dahal, the actress widely acclaimed for her portrayal of Vaishnavi in Sun Neo’s hit television series ‘Chhathi Maiyya Ki Bitiya.’ Brinda shared her heartfelt thoughts on the importance of this monumental day and her personal journey of discovering a home in India.
Brinda originally hails from Nepal but has now embraced India as her own. Expressing her sentiments about her transition and her connection to the country, Brinda shared, “Though I am from Nepal, my heart feels Indian. Independence signifies freedom, and India’s liberation from British rule marked a transformative point that truly captured the essence of what freedom means. This upcoming Independence Day is the first I will celebrate in India, and my excitement knows no bounds.”
Discussing her admiration for Indian culture and her favorite patriotic media, Brinda said, “One film that deeply touches my heart is ‘Swades.’ The storyline and Shah Rukh Khan’s performance are simply outstanding. Another piece that moves me profoundly is the song ‘Teri Mitti’ from the movie ‘Kesari.’ Every time I hear it, my eyes well up with tears. If I ever get an opportunity to play a patriotic character, I would be honored to portray Indira Gandhi.”
As the conversation progressed, Brinda’s appreciation for the welcoming nature of the Indian populace became evident. She added, “The people of India are undoubtedly the nation’s pride. Despite being Nepali by birth, I have received immense acceptance and appreciation for my talents here. I now feel proudly Indian. To everyone, I wish a very Happy Independence Day. Stay independent, believe in yourselves, and always look forward.
. This day is even more special to me because it coincides with my Massi’s birthday on the 15th of August. Celebrating these two precious events together fills me with immense joy.”
‘Chhathi Maiyya Ki Bitiya’ focuses on the life of Vaishnavi, an orphan who views Chhathi Maiyya as her guiding mother. Played by Brinda Dahal, Vaishnavi’s journey is imbued with her unwavering devotion to Chhathi Maiyya. The divine figure, portrayed by Devoleena Bhattacharjee, offers solace and guidance to her devotees, helping them through their life’s challenges and celebrating the triumph of good over evil. The show beautifully encapsulates this spiritual bond, highlighting the importance of faith and resilience.
Reflecting on the significant followership and appreciation her show has garnered, Brinda was all praises for her role and the audience’s support. “The show has indeed struck a chord with many, and I owe my thanks to the viewers for their love and encouragement. Their support fuels my passion and inspires me to do better each day,” she said.
