Talking about her preparations for the role of Mangal, Deepika Singh shares, “As a kid, I always wanted to get my nose pierced, but I couldn't. I would always use stick-on bindis or accessories. However, for this character, I got a nose piercing, and I am thrilled that it suits me. The experience of getting the piercing was quite memorable and scary. It took a lot of courage because the first attempt didn't go well, and I remember my nose bleeding a little. I had to go back to the piercer and get it done again. It was a bit painful, but in the end, it was worth it. As an actor, I am all in for bending over backward to ensure authenticity. Mangal is a character who resonates with all the household women out there, and the nose piercing is a striking aspect of her identity. I wanted to honour that by piercing my nose for real.”

‘Mangal Lakshmi’ airs every day at 9:00 pm only on COLORS.
