Telly actress Madirakshi

Telly actress Madirakshi, who made her debut in the Telugu film Ori Devudoy, is now playing Sita in the mythological show, Siya Ke Ram. In a candid chat, she tells us about her journey as an actor, forthcoming movies and gives us a glimpse of a day in her life. Excepts from the interview:

From an actor to an interior designer, it’s been quite a transition. What has the journey been like

I had no aspirations of becoming an actor because I was happily pursuing my interior designing course back in Indore. Later I bagged a job in Delhi, and since then, I just went with the flow. Acting happened by chance — and before I knew it I was shooting for Ori Devudoy. And now, here I am, a part of the small screen with an ambitious project like this one.

Have movies taken a backseat now that you’re doing Siya Ke Ram and also because the going seems good for you

That has not really been put on hold, but I believe in doing complete justice to every project I take up. Since Siya Ke Ram is my debut in the Hindi telly industry and my most prestigious project so far, it is my duty to ensure I give it my 100 per cent.
