Marathi

actress and model

Swarada Thigale

is playing the role of warrior

Tararani

in the historical show 'Swarajya

Saudamini Tararani

.' The actress, who is a glamorous model in real life is playing a crucial role as Tararani on-screen. In an exclusive chat with ETimes TV,

Swarada

spoke about entering the Marathi industry, her love for modelling, and how she keeps a fine balance between her role in the show and her modelling career.

Talking about entering into the Marathi industry, Swarada said, "I have been in this field for a very long time. Have worked in several

Hindi TV

shows before and I am Marathi and never worked in Marathi and it is such a nice role that I could not let it go."

Swarada further talked about her modelling career and how she keeps a fine balance between her career and on-screen work, she said, "Since I am doing Swarajya Saudamini Tararani and playing the role of Tararani I have become more responsible because it is a historical character. Tararani was a

Maratha

warrior and was a legend. I have also become more selective in my attires since I have started doing the show because whenever I attend any event now, I wear only sarees to mark respect to an incredible woman like Tararani. Playing the role on-screen was not that challenge but keeping respect for the character in real life is a much bigger responsibility."
