Gurdeep Kohli: Taking up responsibilities and communicating with your partner are the secrets to a happy marriage

Much has been written and said about Ronit Roy and Mona Singh’s scintillating chemistry in ALTBalaji’s Kehne Ko Humsafar Hain, but shining in her own space is Gurdeep Kohli. Playing Poonam, the actor has beautifully presented the pain of a woman being stranded by her husband and the strength and grit that proves she is much more than being just a wronged wife. Recently, we got an opportunity to meet the actor and talk about her show, complexities of relationships and her career.

While the story and the platform were the primary reasons for taking up the show for Gurdeep, we asked her if she was apprehensive to be looked upon as the second fiddle in a love story. “It was made clear to me that it’s not a second fiddle, I don’t get calls for that (smiles). It’s a love story of a man who has gone out of marriage and how the repercussions have to be dealt with the wife. The lady is full of substance and the entire story revolves around her. I am happy to be associated with this series as we have been able to project real emotions,” Gurdeep Kohli shared in an exclusive interaction with indianexpress.com.

Talking further about the concept, the actor shared, “There’s no specific reason why Rohit (Ronit) falls out of love. There are times when people marry not for love but for just making a family. He has had a beautiful marriage but as mid-life crisis hits him, he becomes selfish and wants to live only for himself, not giving a thought that it will break his home and family. And honestly, it’s not an uncommon occurrence in today’s life.”
