The Tvf series for SonyLIV, Gullak 2 narrates the story of an average middle-class household. Like any middle-class family, their house is also managed by a mother who is loud yet loving. Actor Geetanjali Kulkarni who essays the role of Shanti Mishra, feels the housewives in middle-class Indian households “have to be at the top of their voice to be heard by the society and their families which, otherwise takes them for granted.”

                  

After a successful season one, Kulkarni is elated to see a positive response from the critics for Gullak 2. In a conversation, Geetanjali spoke about the relatability of the show, playing the role of a housewife and the importance of space while shooting.

he situations shown in Gullak are experienced by every middle-class household. Even though I am a Maharashtrian from Mumbai, I have grown up in a middle-class family and I could completely relate to the story, characters, psyche, emotions and the entire setting. The only difference was that the show is set in North India.

                                   

We have all seen such situations in life. I have grown up in a middle-class family, so I have those traits. The only thing is, I am not just a housemaker. I tend to channelise my feelings through my work as well. But, housewives stay only in one phase and are constantly doing something for others. Most of them don’t even get their due which is probably why they have to be at the top of their voice to be heard by the society and their families since everyone takes them for granted. I am very fortunate to represent such a character because I have received messages saying ‘we could understand our mother better because of your character’. We have to portray such characters so that people empathise with women and the kind of emotions they go through as housemakers, as wives and as mothers.
