MS Dhoni's cameo in vain as five-time champions dealt thrid loss but hold on to third place in the standings
What can you tell us about Tandav? What's it like working with Saif?
I didn't get a chance to share screen space with Saif on Tandav. Season 2 is where my character will unleash herself in the plot of this awesome ensemble show. We finished shooting Season 1 in December 2019 and now I'm yearning to head back to Delhi and get started on Season 2. Tandav revolves around the dark side of politics and the characters are all different shades of grey.
You were first interviewed by us for your debut film Issaq. How has your Bollywood journey been since then?
LOL, it was definitely NOT smooth sailing but I'm so grateful of how far I've come both as an actor and a person. My journey has definitely had more downs than ups but now I definitely feel more secure as I've found the door I needed to unlock to work with some of my favourite directors on some fantastic scripts. Today I can say that I truly understand the meaning of - Nothing Good Comes Fast. I've paced out my career and 2021 is going to prove my standing in the industry.
You started out as a model and then acted in multi-lingual projects. Are you satisfied with your accomplishments?
100%. As an outsider, modelling was the only way to get myself noticed by casting directors. I literally started at the bottom and worked hard to come to the place that I am in today. I still haven't gotten a role without auditioning and I'm glad because it reinstates the confidence I need as an actress.
So many debates on nepotism have sprung up since the tragic death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput. As a Bollywood outsider, what are your comments on cliques and gangs in Bollywood. Have you ever faced any rejection or bullying?
The industry was hit hard by the Covid pandemic but stars kept themselves busy and were extremely active on social media during this time. How did you spend your lockdown time and what are some of the lessons you have learned from this experience?
I worked on my social media. Everything and everyone is going digital and as a person in the entertainment industry, one has to adapt. That's what I did during this lockdown. I upped my social media game and did lots of fun test shoots and workout videos to keep myself busy too. I learnt a lot about myself during this lockdown and I'm more peaceful about who I am. I have become far more grateful for the things I have in my life and realised what I can live without.
What are the other projects you have in hand right now, apart from Tandav. Have you re-started work on them?
There's Dongri To Dubai based on Hussain Saudi's book, a period gangster drama set in Mumbai. We've shot about 30% until the lockdown occurred and we'll be back to shoot for this by the end of November.
