00:00How has your journey been so far?
00:05It has been very beautiful. I consider myself very fortunate.
00:11When I was 13 years old, I started working as a child artist in Kolkata.
00:17Then I did a couple of shows there.
00:19Then I came here in 2014.
00:22At that time I must have been around 16-17 years old.
00:26It has been a journey of 10 years and it has been very beautiful.
00:30Shastri Sister was my first show as a lead.
00:33After that I did a lot of shows like Mythos, Historical, Negative, Psycho.
00:40I have got to do a lot of different characters.
00:46And now I have got the role of Chamkeeli.
00:49I am feeling very good.
00:51God has brought me on the right path.
00:54I have been following him and everything has been good.
01:03Favorite character in Indian television?
01:06I think all my characters have been so good.
01:13As an actor, I have grown so much that it is very difficult to choose.
01:17My first show was Shastri Sisters.
01:19After that I did a lot of shows like Mythos, Parvati, Durga Mahakali, Gopala, Draupadi, Abhichamkeeli.
01:26I will not be able to choose one.
01:28If you ask me to choose an iconic character in the television industry,
01:33then I will choose the character of Ratna Patak of Sarabhai VS Sarabhai.
01:38I like that character very much.
01:40Whenever I get a chance, I watch it.
01:47Actually, when I was travelling, I was playing the role of Devi Parvati.
01:59During that time, she thought that I am actually Devi.
02:02She came running and touched my feet.
02:07I was very unconscious that I am not like that.
02:10I have got a character.
02:15That's why I am doing it.
02:17It happened a little.
02:19Sometimes it happens when I act like Chamkeeli.
02:21Recently it happened with me.
02:23I was in the lift.
02:24You trouble Chahna so much.
02:26So, he thinks like that sometimes.
02:28But I think the audience is very smart.
02:31They understand that this is a character and I am different.
02:35Of course, Chamkeeli is very extreme.
02:45But yes, as a strong independent woman, I can think there.
02:49But I can't do any shades of Chamkeeli in my life.
02:54Because it's very extreme.
02:56It's OTT, like over the top.
02:58I can't do such extreme and passion driven things in my life.
03:03Definitely, I am very passionate.
03:05I am very independent but not like Chamkeeli.
03:07So, I am quite opposite of it.
03:14Of course, you can see me and Chahna always fighting.
03:20But off screen, we literally have a really good bond.
03:24We share a really nice bond.
03:27When we do scenes, it feels like we are enemies.
03:31But in reality, it's not like that.
03:34So, off screen is very different.
03:44I guess if I am getting negative comments,
03:47then I believe that I am very truthful towards my character.
03:52Because if people hate me,
03:54or if people troll me,
03:56then definitely they are getting angry, which is my job.
03:58And people are enjoying it.
04:00So, I always focus on my work.
04:04I have never taken trolling seriously.
04:08And by so far, I have a fan base in the journey.
04:14They have given a lot of love for all my characters.
04:17So, I am really grateful.
04:18Of course, I am doing Chamkeeli.
04:27It is totally opposite of my character.
04:30So, already I am doing it.
04:31See, when I am portraying a character,
04:33some values and ethics, you can't imagine.
04:36Because I am not like Chamkeeli Ishita.
04:38So, if the work is like that, the script is strong,
04:41and I will do it as far as I am comfortable.
04:49No, I am really quite happy with it.
04:52Because whenever I am playing in Chamkeeli,
04:54it is a very unpredictable character.
04:56And every day I am getting new scenes to perform.
05:00So, I don't want to change it.
05:01And I really want to go with the flow.
05:05I really want to be like that only.
05:13No, I guess people are changing.
05:15Thought processes are changing.
05:17Nowadays, the heroines of Daily Soap,
05:19or Bambi, they are trying to show them in a different way.
05:22I think things are changing because
05:24the audience has also become quite smart now.
05:27They can understand what is logically and what is not.
05:30So, yes.
05:36I will say that thank you for supporting me.
05:39And keep giving me love like this only.
05:42And Badi Haveli Ki Choti Thakura and Ratna
05:45Keep watching on Monday to Saturday.
05:47And thank you all.
05:49Love you. Lots of love.
