Not only in our family, where our relatives keep putting us down, but even in this modern urbanized culture, we girls put our fellow girls down by judging them.
I have stopped looking at roles as lead or parallel lead. Also, I feel these are very misleading terms.
In 'Ek Duje'... I play Suman, a girl who runs her own tiffin service in Delhi. She is calm and composed at home but quite bold when it comes to facing the outside world.
Though the concept of the show revolves around a love layer, 'Ek Duje Ke Vaaste' has a very unique storyline. It is not a typical love story, and I am glad to be a part of this show.
I was in a play called 'Hood.' I was an extra in 'Passion of the Christ.' I did corporate videos, commercials, little university short films. Just anything that I could be a part of, really.
My brain has so many qualities that do not work with social media. I'm an overthinker, I'm overly private, and those two personality traits just do not work when it comes to Instagram.
There is no assurity that something will be a success because it is a remake or because it does/does not have a superstar.
Indian audiences these days aren't really interested in watching a character on screen evolve. They don't want to see a young girl evolve into being a partner and enter motherhood - they are only really concerned about the story. As long as the story is getting interesting with every passing episode, they want more.
When a show ends, I need some time to chill, as I feel that I have grown five years older after doing it! I need at least a month to rejuvenate. This happens with Indian TV shows. If you do a show continuously for more than a year, you feel 10 years older.
I hate to say it, but I am not used to travelling light. I always prefer being ready for any situation! So, a lot of things go with me wherever I go.
