Actor Prasanna Bisht, who stars in Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya, opens up on the personal experiences that shaped up her roles as a teacher in the series. The actor stars as Kanchan in Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya.
Speaking about her character, Prasanna Bisht said, "Honestly, it felt like the character had been written for me. Kanchan is so much like my mother. I genuinely felt like I was living my mother's younger days when she had just become a teacher. She used to teach me Physics and Maths as a kid, which later became my favourite subjects. So, Kanchan is a combination of my mother and me. My mother is a government school teacher, so whatever we used to shoot reminded me of the stories she would tell me whenever I came back from school. She would tell me, 'This happened in our school today,' and we would laugh about it. I think that's one of the biggest challenges, and these teachers are doing it beautifully. For me, every moment was important because I genuinely felt like I was representing my mother through Kanchan. So yes, everything about this experience was special to me.”
She added, "Actually, I was on the lookout for a role that was very light, so Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya was actually something I think I manifested. I really wanted to do a comedy show with a beautiful message. And honestly, I had to unlearn intense acting to do comedy. I'd been doing so many intense roles that it took me time to understand the tone of comedy. But with the help of the team and the director, I eventually found my rhythm."

CE's review of the series reads, "Although delivered conversationally, the jokes are relentless. Hence, oftentimes there runs a risk of diluting the issues the show is shedding light on. Although when the satire hits, it’s always bull’s eye."
