6 Characters Who Kept Us On Our Toes With Their ‘Social Chameleon’ Personality

A lot of times we see films with such complex storylines and just as complex characters, that we can’t help but think about those multi-layered roles. The actors who pull off such a brilliant job playing those characters are no less than human chameleons. Just like the colour changing reptiles, those characters also change their forms very effortlessly. From Bhram to Nail Polish, here are some of those best ‘chameleon’ characters that we came across in recent times.

Bhram – Alisha

The series itself has many layers – psychological, mythical, paranormal, etc. But the chameleon in this show is Alisha, played by Kalki Koechlin. Alisha is a writer who suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and due to which, she hallucinates. During these episodes of PTSD, Alisha can be seen doing things that she would not realize later that she did. One of those was choking herself with her own hands! Kalki has perfectly enacted this role of this writer undergoing psychological condition.

Posham Pa – Shikha

Based on scary events that happened for real, Posham Pa is the story of a mother who made her two daughters kill several children. Actresses Ragini Khanna and Sayani Gupta portrayed the role of the psychotic serial killing daughters brilliantly and convincingly. Also, Mahie Gill as the persuading mother was extremely good. But the biggest chameleon character is that of Ragini – Shikha. We see her being a good normal girl from a normal household to being the inmate who convinced people that she was good and innocent when in fact she was the biggest psychotic killer.
