Kenisha Bhardwaj is a popular face on television, known for her role in Sasural Simar Ka. The actress from Ghaziabad talked about social biases and gender equality and stressed the need to change the situation.
In her latest interview with Hindustan Times, the actress said, “We need to understand that to progress, as an overall society, we have to give up on our social biases. Such prejudices are totally unfair as they hurt us as a country as a whole. Gender inequality is surely a bigger issue than it appears and sadly still persists in our society.”
Sharing one of her life experiences, Kenisha said, “I have seen it around me but thankfully my parents stood by me and made me understand the importance of gender equality in today’s time.”
She recalled an incident that kickstarted her career and said, “My brother helped me record and send a video for an online audition. I got a positive response from the production house, so that brought me to Mumbai. Also, at that time, I wanted to get away from my regular life in my hometown. Soon, my first show Queens Hain Hum happened.”
Talking about her choices of roles, Kenisha said, “I just can’t take up any project be it on OTT or films. I have to be careful while choosing what I am getting to play as people who are watching my work on the screen back home should not feel uncomfortable. So, that’s more a reason I opt for family shows. So, this way TV is my savior.”
Kenisha has recently resumed shooting for her new show- Ghar Ek Mandir. “Currently, I am shooting for Ghar Ek Mandir – Kripa Agrasen Maharaja Ki but we are not letting our guard down. Regular RT-PCR tests are done on the sets and also staff count is very limited and of course, everyone is vaccinated. But, even after following all protocols we still can’t do away with regular precautions,” she said.
