In the quaint confines of a provincial town, Chandralekha stands as a contemporary spirit. As an English educator, she embodies self-reliance and aspiration in her unique manner. She boasts an array of admirers, among whom is Tipu, a rough-and-tough mechanic portrayed by Rajkummar Rao. The trajectory of their narrative takes a riveting turn when an astonishing revelation about Tipu’s history unveils.
TJ Bhanu in Guns & Gulaabs:
Regarding her character, Bhanu provides insight by stating,“Chandralekha is both guns and gulaabs. She is fierce as a gun when it comes to her career and ambition, and is a ‘gulaab’ when it comes to Tipu. The ’90s kid in me loved playing her in the show. I recall having a scooter, similar to Chandralekha’s, which I once took for a ride without my parents’ knowledge. It was a spontaneous and somewhat rebellious choice, I must admit. Just like my character, I used to roam around in clothes she wears, with hair as beautiful as hers – well, maybe a tad more unruly! Life does come a full circle.”
