Parul Gulati is all set to stun audiences with her never-seen-before avatar in the upcoming series Donali helmed by E.Niwas, where she steps into the rugged world of Chambal’s dacoits. The first look of her character has been unveiled, showcasing Parul in a raw and intense transformation, perfectly embodying the essence of a fierce outlaw. The series shot across Madhya Pradesh and also stars Divyendu Sharma and Barun Sobti.
With an unpolished, earthy look and a fierce demeanor, Parul’s character exudes strength and resilience. In the unveiled glimpse, she is seen wielding a desi Katta with absolute conviction—an element that requires dedicated training and practice. Her look and body language seamlessly resonate with the character’s authenticity, bringing the fearsome world of Chambal to life.
Sharing her thoughts on this transformative role, Parul said "Playing a dacoit in Donali has been one of the most thrilling experiences of my career. This character is raw, gritty, and unapologetic—very different from anything I’ve done before. The look itself speaks volumes; it’s stripped down, real, and full of intensity. Holding a desi Katta, mastering its handling, and understanding the psyche of someone who survives in the rugged terrains of Chambal was a journey in itself. It wasn’t just about looking the part but truly becoming it. The entire process—from training with weapons to adapting to the dialect and body language—has been both challenging and exhilarating. I can’t wait for the audience to see this side of me.”
