Polish-German model and actor Claudia Ciesla will be playing the part of Apsara Rati in Delhi’s Ramleela in October. But the actress says she needs to watch DVDs of Ramleela to know more about the Ramayan.
She said, “It’s been five years that I have been in India, so I know about the story of Ram and what all happened – as much as I have been briefed. I am yet to see the script. I haven’t seen any videos, but I understand the story.
I think Ramleela is much more popular in Delhi, though they are also performed in Mumbai. The big Ram is set on fire (we correct her and tell her it’s Ravan) and Ravan (she means Ram) is very popular in Mumbai. I will get DVDs to prepare for my role. It is like a play. It’s a challenge that I have not taken up before, so I thought I will get to learn something different.”

She added, “I am playing the role of Rati, similar to Maneka who comes to the God who is meditating for x number of years (sic). We are going to perform a traditional kind of dance. I am really excited about it as I haven’t done something like this before.”
