‘Sasural Genda Phool’ actress Ridhiema Tiwari talks about playing an antagonist in the fantasy drama ‘Raazz Mahal’ featuring Himanshu Soni and Neha Harsora in the lead roles.
Talking about her role, she said: “When the script was first narrated to me, I was thrilled because this was the first opportunity to explore such a devious and complex character. Powerful roles come naturally to me. It’s definitely my comfort zone yet the duality of the character around other characters makes this very challenging and I love challenges. I was both excited and curious to explore my journey as Chandralekha and the plot caught my attention. I just couldn’t resist saying yes.”
The 38-year-old is known for her roles in ‘Do Dil Ek Jaan’, ‘Sasural Genda Phool’, and many more. She is also known for her Bollywood Debut in the 2017 film ‘Begum Jaan’.

Tinaa Dattaa : My role model is Mother Teresa, who lived a selfless life and did a lot for the nation by helping the poor and needy.

It?s women?s day today. On this very important day, we ask actor Ridheema Tiwari a very pertinent question, what she seeks in a relationship? Ridheema is happily married to actor Jas Karan Gandhi. With infidelity creeping into so many marriages today, Ridheema also tells us why she feels this happens.
?Women seek security and companionship in a relationship/marriage and it all begins from here. Some seek financial security and some emotional and many both. While very few are aware of the fact that an empowered woman need not seek anything out of herself, unfortunately, she succumbs to dependency that sucks out all her energies and she ends up feeling lonely, disappointed, taken for granted, disrespected, bored and demotivated. Couples loose interest in each other due to overindulgence too. Every woman has her own reasons for involvement outside. But mostly it's not completely about just sex but rather...
