I am dating a guy since the last two and a half years - Benaf Dadachandji

A page from the personal diary of Benaf Dadachandji Hello, I am Benaf Dadachandji and you also know me by my screen names like Baby, Barkha and Ganga from several serials I have acted in to my last role of Paulami… in Sony Entertainment Television’s Byaah Hamari Bahu Ka. Hailing from Mumbai, I stay with parents and my younger brother in the city. After I finished my schooling from St. Anne's High School in Colaba, I went on to complete my college from HR College of Commerce. Now, let me brief you as to how I started with my career. Well, when I was four years old, I did my first advertisement for ‘Vicks Ki Goli’. In all, I have done around 30 to 40 advertisements till date. Later in 1995, I appeared on big screen in the film Halo as Shasha. For that performance, I was honoured with the Special Jury Award at the 43rd National Film Awards and also in the ‘Best Artist’ category at the Children's Filmfest. In 1998, I appeared in one more film China Gate as Lali. After films, I tried my hands in the television industry. And I have played end number of roles in varied categories. My first TV series was Nazarana and later I did Hello Dolly for Star Plus. Thereafter, there was no looking back for me. I played a physically handicapped girl as Baby in Baa Bahoo Aur Baby. Then I did Jhansi Ki Rani in which I played the role of a village belle (gaon wali) Ganga. To show my versatility, I played a negative character as Barkha in Choti Bahu. And the last show that I did was Byaah Hamari Bahoo Ka in which I played a romantic role, very different from my earlier roles. I think my journey till now has been fantastic. But there will be always more different role to do. Now, it is my wish to try my hands in comedy. But one thing, I am happy to show my versatility in whatever I did. Enough about work, in real life, I am a very practical kind of a person. Watching movies is a stress buster for me. I like to travel and like to try different cuisines. About my relationship status, I would like to say, yes, I am dating one guy, but he is not from the television industry. He owns a restaurant and it’s been two and a half years we have been seeing each other. This is something that my fans don’t know about me. Lastly, I would like to add, ‘Life is the journey and go with the flow.’ Thank you all my lovely fans for your appreciation and good wishes.
