Renuka Shahane says her favourite female don will always be Dhankor Baa, played by Supriya Pathak in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela. The actress goes down the same road, playing a Maharashtrian don in the TV show Khichdi, who kidnaps the lead character, Hansa, interestingly played by Supriya. “To share screen space with her has been an absolute honour. Also, Hansa is my favourite character from the show and my role is closely linked to hers. It couldn't get better than this,” Renuka exults. Talking about her experience of working on the show, Renuka says, “I had a blast shooting for the show because I have been a fan of Khichdi since I can remember. The makers have been good friends and when they approached me, I instantly said ‘yes’ to the role of a female don which is something I have never done before."
