“Wagle Ki Duniya – Nayi Peedhi Naye Kissey” on Sony SAB is a family drama that reflects the everyday challenges faced by the common man. In recent episodes, the audience witnessed how Vandana (played by Pariva Pranati) was diagnosed with breast cancer and decided to proceed with the treatment. Cancer is associated with profound dread and stigma, leaving the individual suffering and their families feeling helpless and in despair. The show addresses these challenges and encourages viewers to overcome the taboo associated with breast cancer. Breast cancer is a susceptible topic that must be dealt with utmost care and as a show, Wagle ki Duniya highlights the same with a great sense of responsibility and commitment, considering the sentiments and feelings attached to them.

In the upcoming episodes, viewers can see the chemotherapy’s adverse effects on Vandana, resulting in her hair loss. The comprehensive transformation was executed precisely through prosthetics, necessitating meticulous attention to every minor aspect. Throughout the filming, Pariva took great care to do justice to the role she portrayed, particularly considering the sensitive nature of breast cancer as a subject. She communicated the exact sense of emotions to create awareness among the viewers.

Pariva Pranati, who essays the role of Vandana Wagle, said, “Portraying someone suffering from cancer was a very emotional and entirely new journey for me. While preparing for the scenes where I had to bear a bald look, I thoroughly researched what goes into the process of chemotherapy and its effects on the patient. It was a rollercoaster ride for everyone on set because my appearance evoked strong emotions in everyone. Nonetheless, it makes me proud to portray such a character working to break the taboo surrounding such issues concerning women.”

She further added, “As an actor, getting the prosthetics in place was a challenging experience. It required significant time and was a lengthy process to execute. However, beyond that, the real challenge began once we started shooting. The temperature had to be kept cold, or the prosthetics would start melting; this posed a task for everyone on set, as we had to shoot for more than 12 hours with the prosthetics in place.”
