A still from Maamla Legal Hai
Nidhi Bisht is grateful for the love coming her way for the recent Netflix sitcom, Maamla Legal Hai. “I hoped for this, but it never went over my head and expected it,” she smiles. Working alongside seasoned veterans like Tanvi Azmi and Ravi Kishan and collaborating with contemporary talents like Anant Joshi and Naila Grewal has been enriching for the actor. Heaping praise at Kishan for making scenes look effortless, Bisht says, “His experience and understanding of the craft show when he is acting out his scenes. He makes it all look so easy and effortless. During the shoot, it always felt like working with a senior from college who is super secure and is enjoying the process as much as you do. His sense of humour is always on point.”
In Maamla Legal Hai, Bisht portrays an ambitious lawyer striving to carve her niche in a male-dominated profession by eventually fighting her own cases. Reflecting on her real-life journey in the comedy genre, she says that the industry has come a long way in embracing women writing and performing comedy. “In comedy, you are judged only on your jokes. So, you are either funny or not,” says the actor-writer-creator, citing her love for female comics Gurleen Pannu, Shreeja Chaturvedi, and Prashasti Singh, among others, and their unique sense of humour.
