Actress Kanika Mann is leaving no stone unturned to play the role of an athlete in &TV’s popular show Badho Bahu. Be it her appearance, her costumes or her long hours practice to be a real athlete, Kanika is putting in extra time and efforts to perfect her role. However, the first and the biggest road block that she is facing is her command over the language and is on a mission to learn the Haryanvi dialect.

In the show, Kanika has to speak in hardcore Haryanvi which is currently her biggest challenge. The actress is seen rehearsing her dialogues number of times to get rid of her Punjabi accent and get the diction right. Initially she started practising by watching Kangana Ranaut’s videos from the movie ‘Tanu Weds Manu: Returns’. Now the actress is also seen taking special assistance and time from a teacher who especially visits the set.

Talking about the same, Kanika said “Initially reading the script used to make me nervous as its difficult to imitate Haryanvi diction. Being a Punjabi, I faced a lot of difficulty while reading the lines at length. Though it’s easier after the support extended to me, I still go back to watching videos of Kangana from ‘Tanu weds Manu’. I would not only like to look the role but walk and talk like a true Haryanvi. It’s amazing how one show is giving me so many opportunities to learn. I can’t wait to hear what the audience has to say about my role.” 

Watch Badho Bahu, Monday to Friday at 9.30 pm only on &TV
