Radhika Muthukumar: 'Binddii' Changed My View on Motherhood
Radhika Muthukumar opens up about her powerful role as Kajal in COLORS' new show 'Binddii' and its personal impact on her.
As COLORS prepares to launch its new prime-time drama ‘Binddii’, lead actress Radhika Muthukumar has shared a candid look into her emotionally demanding role, revealing that playing an imprisoned mother has profoundly altered her own views on motherhood.
The upcoming show, set to premiere on September 17th, tells the stirring story of Kajal (Muthukumar), a woman who gives birth to her daughter, Binddii, behind bars. When the law separates them, Binddii is thrust into a harsh world where she uncovers the devastating truth: her father, Aviraj (Krushal Ahuja), conspired with a ruthless mafia don, Dayanand Chaudhury (Manav Gohil), leading to her mother’s imprisonment. The narrative follows Binddii’s journey to fight for her mother's freedom against powerful foes.
In a recent interview, Muthukumar explained that the role of Kajal offered unexpected depth. "Playing Kajal has shifted my understanding of motherhood in ways I didn’t expect," she stated. "Before, I thought being a mother was about giving love, care, comfort and protection. But Kajal made me see the other side: it’s also about restraint. About what you withhold... so your child doesn’t have to carry them."
