00:00because I was just thrown like it was my first film right so and coming just having lost my father to come into this space
00:08and she just Ripti just made it so comfortable and so there was nothing there was no pressure there was no pressure to do anything
00:19was it as easy and as dark and twisted as it looked was it so was it tough to carry off this role
00:25some days were tough some days were easy it was a mix of both I think for me
00:29what's important is that when you get into something like that it's important to have a
00:33good team with you and it's important to have good people around you and luckily we did have
00:38a great team you know all my co-actors Babil, Shastika, Amit Sial, Anvita they all just you know
00:45made it so comfortable for I think everybody that even on the most difficult days we were always
00:51relaxed the gratitude comes from the rarity in our industry to find real friends and to find
00:57find people that you know look out for you and that you know from the bottom of your heart that
01:03there's truth in the relationship right because I was just thrown like it was my first film right
01:08so and coming just having lost my father to come into this space and she just Ripti just made it
01:16so comfortable and so there was nothing there was no pressure there was no pressure to do anything
01:22and she was always there she was always very giving as an actor even though it's a dark film
01:27if you fall you know there are people to take care of you and that emotion is so sacred and I
01:33think that got us through and also I was going through something so dark and so morbid as you say
01:42outside of the set that it was just that outside of the set I was feeling so much that the set was
01:49acting as a form of catharsis you know it was not taking a toll instead it was being cathartic
01:53because I had somewhere in the form of art to express what I was feeling outside the sets
01:59being the characters in those moments we were not really letting ourselves get in the way and I
02:05think it's to do with the kind of workshops that we've had with Anvita, Anvita make sure that you
02:11are spending as much time as you're spending on while shooting the film you're spending as much
02:16time in fact more time doing workshops with her and when that happens you know you have clarity
02:22about a lot of things you know whatever questions that you may have for your characters or their
02:28life all those questions are answered in those workshop and you only answer those questions
02:32because she lets you become the character one thing was also on the set and on in the scenes
02:39we were completely like she was Kala and I was Jagan but the one thing was that just even our
02:46relationship in real life like there is great care for each other you know that we go very,
02:51very close when we were shooting and there was just genuine concern in me for her so I think
02:56that really just helped. How difficult was it for you guys not to judge the character you were
03:00playing? That in itself is a human practice right like that how there are certain connections where
03:06you as a human being have to do something in real life to be able to do it as an actor and I think
03:13that's just the human practice to develop a skill in you where you do not judge somebody or
03:19something like no matter what happens you try to look at it without bias you know without your own
03:27personal bias and if that is a practice in real life then I think it carries on to the craft.
03:33You as an actor you can never judge your character the minute you judge your character you know you
03:38you are you're out of it like you can't truly believe in them and you have to be able to believe
03:44in them make sure because whichever the character is you have to make it a real person right so I
03:50think that is a very important thing we can't be as actors judging our characters even though the
03:55characters are committing a crime we have to there has to be a reason for the character to commit a
04:01crime and we have to find out what that reason is.
04:05Do you think the characters were penalized and the actual culprit got away?
04:09The actual culprit I would say in this case is guilt. It's not a person, it's not Kala, it's not Jagad, it's not Urmila, it's human emotions.
04:18All of the emotions that the film is talking about everybody has some of the other you know
04:22everybody is has guilt in them, everybody has insecurities, everybody has anger issues, it's just that
04:29everybody has anxiety. It's just that with time you learn to deal with those emotions.
04:34Sometimes in life we deal with things and we don't understand why. The truth is that you've not,
04:41you're not, your soul is not just living this one life you know it is it has been traveling,
04:45journeying for a long time. A lot of characters think face spiritual penance and we don't
04:50really understand why we're going through what we're going through so far.
