Speaking of her role Bhanu explains, “Chandralekha is both guns and gulaabs. She is fierce as a gun when it comes to her career and ambition, and is a ‘gulaab’ when it comes to Tipu. The ’90s kid in me loved playing her in the show. I recall having a scooter, similar to Chandralekha’s, which I once took for a ride without my parents’ knowledge. It was a spontaneous and somewhat rebellious choice, I must admit. Just like my character, I used to roam around in clothes she wears, with hair as beautiful as hers – well, maybe a tad more unruly! Life does come a full circle.”

Join the roller coaster ride of ‘Guns & Gulaabs’, the show that’s as unpredictable as Chandralekha’s heart! Streaming from August 18 only on Netflix!
