Took inspiration from Jaya, Madhuri for Piya Albela character: Sheen Das

Mumbai Dec 16 (IANS) Television actress Sheen Das says that she took inspiration from actresses Jaya Bachchan and Madhuri Dixit-Nene for her character in "Piya Albela".

"Pooja s character in Piyaa Albela has evolved since the launch of the show. The transition from playing a grown-up mature person to a eight-year-old kid has been a challenging one. I have tried to understand the various layers of my character " Sheen who plays the role of Pooja in the show said in a statement.

Sheen has prepared for her new avatar in the Zee TV s fiction drama by taking inspiration from famous characters portrayed by Bollywood divas.

In order to play the part the actress took inspiration from Jaya s character in "Uphaar" and Madhuri s gestures and mannerisms from "Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!"

She said: "To do so I took inspiration from Jaya Bachchan and Madhuri Dixit. While Jayaji is unmatchable and her character in the movie Uphaar will always remain iconic I have tried to borrow little nuances from the way she behaved or acted in the movie.

"To add more layers to my character portrayal I have also borrowed from Madhuri ma am s body language from the popular song Chocolate lime juice from Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! "

The actress hopes she can do justice to this new avatar and entertain the audience.
