Chutki's avatar was inspired by actor Sharmila Tagore: Gaurav Gera

Television actor Gaurav Gera got candid with our portal and split facts about his avatar ‘Chukti’. The actor stated in the interview that Chutki’s avatar was inspired by Sharmila Tagore. Here is what he said:

Chutki I made from Sharmila Tagore. She has her little ‘ada’ (which are agian, inspired by the Kashmir Ki Kali actor). He added that (he chose to present the character) because the 60s were not really happening anywhere (on social media or on television). Today the girls are very modern, so to make Chutki stand out, I made a little Sharmila Tagore. Chutki changes her voice (and the voice modulation is like Tagore’s).
