Madalsa Sharma aka Kavya from Anupamaa had turned negative on the show sometime ago. But slowly one can see that her character is becoming positive again. Ask her about this change and she says, “Kavya has always been a character with grey shades, but now she turned positive and I am enjoying playing that because it is a change for me, too.” Did she ask for a change, given that her character was getting annoyingly negative? She says, “No, I didn’t speak to the creative team about this. I think it was the writer’s decision to make my role positive as per the story requirement.”
The actress is married to Mahaakshay Chakraborty aka Mimoh (Mithun Chakraborthy’s son) and the two have been married for four years. Madalsa says she is happy to have struck a balance between her work and home life. She says, “We have a very simple funda in life — when we are both working, we focus on our work, but when we are at home together, we cut off from our work and focus on our personal lives. We detach ourselves from the outside world. We have a non-filmi environment at home just like any other family and that’s how we strike a balance.”
Talking about her husband, Madalsa says, “Mimoh is a very honest and caring person. He never likes to brag and likes to be quiet. He is sensitive and values people in his life — he has his priorities right. The things he does for me in our daily life are things that most people wouldn’t even expect. From the smallest to the biggest things, Mimoh takes care of every detail... he takes care of my happiness. He even makes sure that meals prepared are according to my choice.”
The one question they are often asked is about their plans to have a baby. Madalsa says, “Yes, even my co-actors on the sets ask me that. Mimoh and I aren’t planning a baby yet because we understand that it is an aspect of our lives where we need to be mentally prepared. It is a lifetime responsibility. When Mimoh and I are ready to devote ourselves to parenthood and we feel it is the right time for us, we will have a baby. Right now, I just want to take care of myself and my family.”
