The yr appears to be trying good for Manjari Fadnnis. After the lately launched psychological thriller, Masoom, the actor is gearing up for the release of a “mad, crazy story” with Miya, Biwi Aur Murder. “It’s about a dysfunctional marriage and how one night changes everything,” says Fadnnis, who performs a bored housewife to cop-husband Rajeev Khandelwal’s character within the MXPlayer sequence.

Ask her what drew her to the position, and Fadnnis attributes it to her character’s quirkiness. “My character is wacky and quirky. She has a [deep] knowledge about forensics and her investigative [deductions] are bang on. She manages to come up with brilliant ideas in every situation,” says the actor of Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na fame. Stating that she tried to maintain the character actual, she provides, “I didn’t feel the need to act funny because the script [led to comic situations]. I enjoyed myself, and the camera captured it beautifully.”

Teaming up with Khandelwal was sheer pleasure for the actor.  It wasn’t with out its humorous moments. “[I remember] someone randomly congratulated me on my wedding with Rajeev Khandelwal, and I was shocked to hear that. I realised much later that his wife [Manjiri Kamtikar] and I share the same name.” Elaborating on the mistaken identities, Khandelwal says that his spouse and his co-star have now turn into “good friends”. “I was apprehensive of how the media would perceive us as we were working together, but there was no stress. My wife is cool with me doing intimate scenes [with co-actors]. It never felt like I met Manjari for the first time.” Fadnnis additionally heaps reward on her co-actor, stating, “He is a real and grounded. We are like-minded people.”
