It’s been more than a week since Ekta Kapoor’s version of Mahabharat launched on 9X.

The feedback has been mixed.

Anita Hassnandani who plays wife to the Pandavas, says that it will take a while for viewers to accept the new look.

But tattoos, bronze make-up and the absence of mukuts aren’t the only reasons for the flak. Anita’s melodramatic outburst in the opening episode has also come under the scanner. “Draupadi was being stripped in public. She had to be loud,” exclaims Anita.

The actress also defends Kapoor’s decision to cast established names as opposed to new faces.

“The viewers get to see the Anjali of Kkavyanjali playing a very different character from another era,” she reasons.

So who is the best among the five brothers? She laughs, “It’s too early to play favourites.”

A flaming review with Mukesh Khanna who criticizes Anita’s portrayal of Draupadi, saying the “fire” is missing and the dialogue delivery is poor.

And, visit the exquisite sets of Kahaani Hamare Mahaabhaarat Ki

Anita Hassdandani is one busy lady. The actress, who made her television debut in the highly successful Kabhia Sautan Kabhie Saheli, is all set to play Draupadi in the brand new mythological serial Kahaani Hamaaray Mahaabhaarat Ki.

Most popular for her role as Anjali in Kavyanjali, Anita has also dabbled in south Indian films. This is not all. More action is in store for Anita as she is one of the participants of the desi version of the popular reality show Fear Factor, which is hosted by the Khiladi himself, Akshay Kumar.

Read on as the actress tells Rajul Hegde about Draupadi and what scared her the most about Akshay Kumar. Excerpts:

How did you get the role of Draupadi?

When I was shooting for Fear Factor Khatron Ke Khiladi in South Africa, I got a call from Balaji Telefilms. They wanted to know whether I would be interested in Draupadi’s role. I said yes immediatedly. Later on, I was little scared because the new Mahabhaarat is modern complete with a new format and contemporary looks. And here I was playing Draupadi! I had butterflies in my stomach.

What attracted you to Mahabhaarat?

It’s challenging, intense, complex and nothing like the regular soaps. It was different and difficult for me to portray Draupadi.

What kind of research did you do after you came to know that you are portraying one of the important characters in Mahabhaarat?

I didn’t have much time to prepare. I started shooting within few days after returning from South Africa. I have gone through some CD’s of B R Chopra’s Mahabharat to acquaint myself with the character. I have also been reading up on the subject. Plus, those around me know about Mahabharat and my character, so I am getting to know from them too.

Gauri Pradhan was also short-listed for Draupadi’s role though she lost out to you. Any comments?

As far as I know, the producers were looking for a fresh face for Draupadi’s role. It’s news to me that Gauri Pradhan and I were short-listed. The production house will be able to give you the right answer as to why they selected me.

Do you have jitters about playing Draupadi?

Yes, I am very scared. I will definitely be compared to Rupa Ganguly (she acted as Draupadi in B R Chopra’s Mahabharat). She created history by portraying the character. It’s going to be difficult for me to reach to her level. I will be happy if I reach one tenth of her level. I am really working hard and have put in my best. I hope people will accept me as Draupadi.

Tell us about your costume and look.

Manish Malhotra [fashion designer] chose the colour red for me. Bharat and Dorris have worked on my make-up and hairstyle. I was told not to cut my hair after they selected me for this role.

Do you think this new Mahabhaarat can create the magic of B R Chopra’s Mahabharat?

This show is going to a big challenge for the channel, production house and the actors. Everyone has worked hard. I hope all the hard work pays off.

Why have you stayed away from soaps?

I was busy doing south films after Kavyanjali and I requested the production house to reduce my track in Kyunki. Plus, I had to go to South Africa for Fear Factor.

Take us through the experience of Fear Factor.

It was a last minute decision. As it was a once in a lifetime experience, I thought why not give it a try. And it has really been the best experience of my life. You will see me crying, laughing, and screaming. It was really scary to do some of the stunts but at the end of the day, it it’s all about your inner strength. I was able to perform most tasks and it was worth it.

Did you overcome any of your fears?

I am scared of water and I still don’t know to swim. After my Fear Factor experience, I have realised the importance of swimming. I will start learning it now.

How was Akshay Kumar as a host?

He was the right choice. Everybody was really petrified of his scary laughter. He would get very upset if any of us refused to do a stunt. I recalled the time I had to put my hand in a container full of cockroaches and other insects. I didn’t want to do it and started crying. That was when Akshay grabbed my hand and shoved it in the container.

Did you make friends there?

All the participants were friendly and amazing. I bonded well with Ajana Sukhani.

What is in the pipeline?

I was supposed to do Krazy Kiya Re, Balaji Telefilm’s new show. But now I don’t think I will be able to do it. Right now I want to concentrate only on this show and give my best.

Catch Kahaani Hamaaray Mahaabhaarat Ki every Monday to Thursday on 9X at 9 pm.

Draupadi (Anita Hasnandani) will be wearing a red saree which is in contrast to all the Pandavas who will be sporting a black dhoti. Anita is sporting very simple look with only red diamond bangle and ring in the finger. She has tattooed flower on her right shoulder with curly long hair and less make up. Draupadi is one of the strongest women of Mahabharat. At the same time it is said that she is the one responsible for the battle of Kurukshetra.

What does the woman who gave fuel to the biggest war known to humankind look like? Definitely divine.

Aaj Tak compared Anita Hassanandani playing Draupadi to Cleopatra.

Watch the Kahani Hamaaray Mahaabhaarat Ki Special. For someone who is never easily impressed, the promos actually captured my attention and piqued my interest. The show is a sure hit even before airing. We wish Anita and the entire cast all the best but Ekta has left no stone unturned in ensuring that this show would be a megahit.

Catch it on 9X from Monday, July 7!

Oh, your first look of Anita Hassanandani as Draupadi?

Close your mouth. Remember to breath.

Request: Can anyone on this site, living in India, provide HQ caps of Anita from this show as it airs? It would be much appreciated.
