Kapanlagi.com - Marshanda is back in the second season of the series INDUK GAJAH. She plays the main character named Ira, who is pressured by her parents to have children soon to continue the family lineage.

Portraying the character Ira is acknowledged by Marshanda as a difficult task. This is because the character, based on the journalist from Kompas.com named Iragita Sembiring, is very different from her.

"Ira is a character who feels inferior. Meanwhile, I am more carefree, confident, and I speak bluntly and keep going. That's why this character is a challenge for me. When I become Ira, I have to hold back a lot to become Ira, who has limitations in expressing herself and feels inferior," said Marshanda when met at CGV Cinemas Grand Indonesia on Tuesday (30/7/2024).

1. More Aware of Appearance

In terms of Ira's character appearance, Marshanda revealed that there is a difference between the first and second seasons. In this second season, Ira is depicted as more aware of her appearance.

"In the first season, she was portrayed with a bigger body, messy hair, and no makeup. Now Ira is more aware of her makeup. She starts to care about her appearance, wearing makeup and styling her hair," said Marshanda.

2. Idolizing Marshanda

Iragita Sembiring expressed her happiness that her life story has been adapted into a series, albeit with some changes. Especially since the actress is Marshanda, whom she has idolized for a long time.

"I am grateful that this story can become a series and is liked by many people. They can relate and don’t feel alone with the problems faced by Ira's character. Moreover, it is played by Marshanda, which is just unbelievable," said Iragita at the same opportunity.
