Dalljiet Kaur Takes on a Challenging Role in Chitta Ve: A Dream Come True for the Actress

Dalljiet Kaur, a name synonymous with versatility in Indian television, is set to leave a lasting impression with her latest film, Chitta Ve, which released on Atrangii Re on November 22, 2024. Known for her diverse roles across genres, Dalljiet takes on a deeply challenging character in this film—Manpreet, a simple girl who succumbs to the grip of drugs and addiction. The role is both a departure from her previous portrayals and a significant milestone in her career. In a heartfelt conversation, Dalljiet shared her excitement and the challenges she faced while portraying such a complex character.

For Dalljiet, this role in Chitta Ve is a dream come true. She explains, “As an actor, when you’ve spent 20 years doing one thing—acting—it becomes your life. On TV, I’ve experimented with comedy, negative roles, and everything in between. But when you get a chance to portray something this raw and real, it’s an opportunity that no actor would pass up. Every actor who believes in their craft would want to take on such a challenge.” The actress revealed that she dove deep into research to prepare for the role, watching YouTube videos, reading real-life stories of people caught in the web of addiction, and even observing at-risk youth in challenging environments. This research gave her a nuanced understanding of the character, helping her bring an authenticity to her portrayal of Manpreet.

One of the biggest differences Dalljiet found while working on Chitta Ve compared to her previous work in television was the approach to the role. She notes, “On TV, you're shooting every week, so there’s little time to reflect or prepare for the next episode. It’s all about keeping up with the pace of the show. But working on a web project like Chitta Ve, you get the script in advance, and there’s time to understand the trajectory of your character. You get to reflect, plan, and truly shape the character. It’s a much more structured and thoughtful process.” This more deliberate approach allowed Dalljiet to dive deep into her character’s emotional and psychological journey, something she feels was crucial to portraying such a difficult role.

With Chitta Ve, Dalljiet Kaur is embracing a role that goes beyond her usual work on television, demonstrating her growth and commitment as an actress. The film explores the harsh realities of drug addiction and the impact it has on individuals, families, and society. Dalljiet’s portrayal of Manpreet is not just a performance; it’s a powerful message about the destructive nature of addiction, and it marks a significant step in her career. As the film was released on Atrangii Re on November 22, fans are eager to witness Dalljiet’s transformative performance in this gripping drama.
