Megha Chakraborty and Jiya Shankar Get Candid about Transforming into Gunnu and Sattu on Sony SAB’s Kaatelal & Sons

By 121 News

Chandigarh Dec. 07, 2020:- Sony SAB's path-breaking, light-hearted show Kaatelal & Sons is motivating story of two sisters, Garima (Megha Chakraborty) and Susheela (Jiya Shankar) who challenge societal norms and face hardships head-on, the show is about stereotyped gender roles which are deeply rooted in peoples' mindsets in our society. The lead actresses of Kaatelal & Sons were recently seen disguising as boys, Gunnu and Sattu.

Unlike other look transformations, Megha and Jiya's look change was a rather unique and exciting experience in itself. The duo detail their experience of the transformation into Gunnu and Sattu from Garima and Shushila respectively and what all it takes for them to don this new look.

 Talking about the their own reaction to this new look as a boy, Megha shared that she was surprised because she used to think that the male look will not suit her, but when she saw herself into the mirror, she observed a huge transformation in herself, her face and even body language. She was thrilled to see witness herself look convincing as a boy. Jiya added that it was really nice. She knew she would look smart and good dressed as a boy. While her family and fans loved this new look, her friends on the other hand pulled her leg.

A lot goes on while transforming into an entirely new character. Megha and Jiya narrate their experience of transforming into their boy disguise while taking us through the minute details. Megha shared that she thinks the look is fascinating and also the most comfortable. We both are wearing baggy jeans and shirt with some accessories as well. She feels the trickiest bit is the wig and the entire process of covering up our natural hair to put the wig on. Additionally, we also put on side burns. Since the wig needs to be tightly fit, the clip does hurt by the end of the day but the overall experience makes it satisfactory. Jiya on the other hand had a different take, she loves the look and somehow the wig doesn't bother her so much. It takes about 15-20 minutes for her to get into this look. What she likes about this look is the attention to details, from our foundation colours to the choice of accessories and our ripped jeans. Gunnu and Sattu have the true essence of Rohtak. Also, the most comforting part about the look is wearing sports shoots throughout the day.

While the look transformation was only the first step for the ladies, the real struggle was the voice modulation and ensuring they deliver the dialogues in a male tone flawlessly. Megha revealed that getting into the look was still easier but speaking as a boy and maintaining that throughout along with a stead body language was the most difficult part about this transformation. Jiya further added that she struggled a lot during the first week of our transformation. While we have to change our voice, we also need to ensure the Haryanvi accent. So sometimes, she used to keep forgetting either the voice or the accent. It is definitely getting better with time.

The duo concluded by saying that this is something new we are trying and while our fans and viewers are supporting us and appreciating Kaatelal & Sons, we hope they love this new look and twist in the show and continue to get inspired from Gunnu and Sattu too.
