Dressed in a bright pink saree, his Pinky Padosan guarantees juicy gossip, claiming that she is the locality’s newspaper. The saree, the pout and the hawk eyes make him seem like the perfect archetype of the Indian ‘aunty’. This is not the first time the actor has donned traditional Indian attire to play a character, though. He used to play Mrs. Pammi Pyarelal in another Colors TV show of the same name before.
