You may remember Manjari Fadnnis from the 2008 hit Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na, but her acting credits include films and shows across languages, including Kannada, Tamil and Telugu.
Seen in the Boman Irani thriller Masoom, we will see her next in the upcoming show Miya Biwi Aur Murder, co-starring Rajeev Khandelwal.
While the show sees the two in a troubled marital relationship, Manjari gives a glimpse inside her mind and morality: "I am totally against infidelity obviously, but it happens. It happens everywhere."
The trailer of your show Miya Biwi Aur Murder looks promising. How did you bag this project?
I remember this was in 2020, during the lockdown, when we were auditioning from home.
I got a call from the casting director and I sent a home test.
I got a call back, telling me that the team wanted to have a meeting.
When the director narrated the script to me, I was blown.
I was laughing.
I was like, 'What is this? This is crazy, this is mad.
The name of the production house is also Mad Entertainment and it was a mad crazy, crazy script.
Tell us about Miya Biwi Aur Murder.
So, there is this dysfunctional couple, Jayesh and Priya.
I am a bored housewife of a cop who loves these detective shows, like CID and Saavdhan India.
She has watched everything so her knowledge of forensics and investigation is very strong.
She is very intelligent.
So, this couple, in spite of having everything, their marriage has hit rock bottom.
But they have to stand together to deal with gangsters, their delusional maid, these dead bodies, and this corrupt cop.
It's a crazy show, full of masala.

The Best Places to Travel in September
