From hot model to super bahu!

 Sultry vamp Nigaar Z Khan is back with Mitwa Phool Kamal Ke. She was last seen in two reality shows titled Ek Khiladi Ek Hasina and Comedy circus.
 
 Nigaar plays a powerful bahu in the show set in Uttar Pradesh which deals with issues like caste and the preference for a boy child.

What do you enjoy the most -- acting or modelling?
 
 Acting is more fun because every day is a new day. It's more challenging too. There is no growth and creative satisfaction in modelling.
 
 Did you ever think that you could do so well in comedy?
 
 I didn't know that I could do comedy. Stand-up comedy is a different ball game all together. Doing a comedy scene is very different from stand-up comedy.
 
 Actually, when they approached me for Comedy Circus, I thought they were kidding. After I was convinced, I agreed to give it a try. I did one episode Chinchpokli to China, before they offered this reality show. I am glad I did it because it gave me reason to wake up in the morning and try something new.
 
 How was it working for Comedy Circus?
 
 It was a wonderful experience. I was fully charged up to play different characters. I even made a fool of myself and made people laugh, which is not an easy job. Fortunately people laughed at all my acts and I didn't have problem in making up.

Tell us more about your character in Mitwa Phool Kamal Ki...
 
 I play the role of Rajbala, the most powerful bahu in the family. She has been given the title as she is the eldest bahu and has borne a male child who will take the family legacy forward. She's manipulative, scheming, jealous and commanding. Rajbala uses her charms to influence everyone and even dominates her husband.
 
 Have you worked on the dialect?
 
 Yes. We have really worked on the dialect because it is a rural story. The dialect is very interesting. We had workshops with our director and they really helped. The characters are very different and we are very fortunate to have very good actors on this show. Mitwa is a very different show.
 
 How was the experience shooting in Banaras?
 
 I was shocked when I came to know that in some rural places women are not even allowed to speak or touch their husbands. It was a culture shock for me. When I went to Banaras for shooting I was so scared that I carried a salwar kurta and didn't have the guts to wear jeans. Being an urban girl I also didn't have the courage to stand up and say 'I will do what I want'.
