Mayuri played by Debina Bonnerjee thought of including a trendy look of her in ‘Chidiyaghar’ series. She suggested to the creative team to change heravatar in the series to add an element of fun.

After mutual discussions it was decided to westernize Debina’s look in the series which would make it different and offer a fresh appeal to her character.

Debina said, “Mayuri is one of my favourite on-screen personas that I connect with. I am really excited to play a western avatar of her as it connects with the real me. Incidentally, this idea of westernizing Mayuri came from me during a candid discussion with the creative team.

I will be shown as a dance teacher and having learnt dance professionally, it also worked in my favour. I also will be doing a dance performance on a popular Bollywood track.

I hope I get to play such fun parts more often on the show.”
