Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin's Yamini Malhotra: My Ultimate Aim Is To Shine In Bollywood (Exclusive Interview)
Regional film actress Yamini Malhotra, who plays the broad-minded Shivani Chavan in the hit Star Plus show Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin, attributes the show's success to the entire unit's camaraderie. While speaking to Filmibeat exclusively, Yamini said, "We all get along like a house on fire—the great off-screen chemistry rubs on set as well. Everyone is working as a team to deliver the best possible content to audiences. Also, I must credit the writers for penning every character very uniquely; no one is alike. Even if we have two negatives, both are as different as chalk and cheese."

Yamini
said,
"The
twice-divorced
Shivani
lives
by
her
own
rules.
Marriages
flounder
for
several
reasons.
Maybe
the
ex
was
incompatible
or
just
wrong.
You
only
live
once,
so
do
it
queen-size.
She
also
cares
two

for
society,
which
never
turns
up
when
the
chips
are
down."
Yamini said that while she too lives by the same yardstick, "I don’t like certain independence-seeking women going overboard in some instances. Never lose your grace and respect. If you expect the man to be a gentleman in his dealings, you too need to be ladylike in return."
Returning
to
the
story
of
the
show,
the
dentist-turned-actor
said,
"Shivani
and
the
house
matriarch
Bhavani
Nagesh
Chavan
are
the
most
significant
support
base
of
the
rustic
lead
Sai
(Ayesha
Singh).
They
want

(Neil

wife
to
complete

Shivani
is
the
only
one
in
the
conservative
Chavan
clan
standing
up
to
the
negative
lead
Patralekha
(Aishwarya
Sharma)."
Upon asking how the audience has reacted to her character, Yamini said, "They were missing my bold and sassy avatar, as I was away from action for a while. Hence, I was greeted as Sherni Chavan on my return by fans. Her Marathi background and dialogues, coupled with a humorous Punjabi tadka, have made Shivani Chavan unique, remarkable and hard to forget," she added.

Looking ahead, Yamini said while she will be faithful to Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin, she will surely try to look at more TV lead roles.
"While I had a good stint doing both Pollywood (Punjabi) and Tollywood (Telugu) films, the lure of a national footprint brought me to Hindi TV, and yes, my ultimate aim is to shine in Bollywood," concluded Yamini Malhotra
