Chikhlia will soon feature in a mythological series. For the same, she has united with Ramanand Sagar Production after several years. During an interaction with IndiaToday last month, she revealed she will be playing Vaishno Devi’s mother Maharani Vijaya in the upcoming series, Jai Maa Vaishno Devi. “It’s a 10-episode web series but they haven’t yet sold it to any OTT platforms,” she was quoted as saying.
Chikhlia, who has been away from the small screen for a while now, doesn’t mind making a comeback to television if she gets a good offer. “I would like to do something very different from what I played, but still very respectable,” she expressed. She confessed that she is not a fan of Indian television anymore. She feels current actors make a ‘mockery of performances’. The actress said that the production and the sets are good, but there is a lack in performances.
Chikhlia was also shooting for a film earlier this year. She will play the role of Guru Mata in the upcoming film, Hindutva. The Karan Razdar directorial also stars Ashiesh Sharma and Sonarika Bhadoria.
