it's very natural you and me talk so
many people around me talk we tend to
draw comparisons it's natural
uh so i don't know if i was ready for
that for once when they offered me a set
i don't think it is possible
it has nothing to do with now again it
is to do with me personally
i'm amazed i'm really genuinely
um it's about what three episodes of
airing
episodes
whoever has played nagin has put
everything they can
and i know it is not easy um you know
when you get something
you don't want to let it go right and
that's what i feel that everybody
has put their flavor when they have done
the season they must have felt what i'm
feeling today
it's my
you know so many people i know of i
don't know if i should talk about
this uh when they see the show isn't
doing too well
they don't want to give it all they give
it up um you know with my previous show
we were still better welcoming the fifth
nagin adi nagin
like they are saying on pinkvilla thank
you so much survey for doing this
uh you know uh the initial response has
been kick-ass
everyone is loving this new look this
new avatar of yours
but tell me when the role was offered to
you what was your first reaction like
to be very honest this happened about
three months back
uh i got a call and me
and balaji have been wanting to
personally
associate for a very long time however
to have a vet you know their ott
platform here
but uh details
and i never knew that uh you know i was
always hoping
maybe now the next step after my
previous show will be
something on web i've discussed with you
yeah
and then this happened and i got a call
and said uh
i said listen as an actor i would love
to
uh junk and uh challenge myself
twist myself to see how i can mold
myself into a fantasy world of
you know fantasy genre basically
it's natural for people to draw
comparisons it's very natural
um
i think we're very we're very it's very
natural you and me talk
so many people around me talk we tend to
draw comparisons it's natural
uh so i don't know if i was ready for
that
mainly uh also keep keeping that apart
the second issue is that it's a big
responsibility you
have to live up to people's expectations
um so i don't know if i was ready for
that you know the zeal they had
to get me on board for once when they
offered me a set i don't think it is
possible it is nothing to do with
nagin it is to do with me personally
and then i get a call
again and we do this round of calls
for a very long time uh that i don't
know if i'm right
to do this if and they have convinced me
they have
told me that you will be able to do it
and
um today i'm doing it
yeah and the initial response like i
mentioned has been great
how exciting is it to get into a world
which you perhaps don't relate to at
all i mean there's no instance of a
nagin that you can probably draw
reference to right
but how you know you know so god has
been kind i have been very busy in life
uh i was doing a show for about 10 11
months i was doing another show before
that
for three years uh i sometimes thought
that i missed
watching stuff on you know all this otg
and you and me have always had
discussion and i happened to watch
vampire diaries it was
it was a crazy world supernatural world
i thought the performances were
top-notch i thought
uh you know even even shooting of what i
could of the visuals i could understand
i thought was not easy it was a tough
tough tough story
and that's the journey when i thought
that supernatural
or even like a fantasy world is
something
that maybe i want to try next uh
i had never thought because like i said
i was always thinking
but i said and uh
that's what i'm doing i'm so glad you
took up the offer because i
i i remember i did tell you that you
will be able to do it if you put your
heart and soul to it because that is all
it takes
at times because you are a whisper this
show needs a lot of convincing
as an artist so it's convincing parties
of the artist convincing
the artist has to believe in the you
know the the subject that he's given
and he has to or she has to just
flawlessly perform
uh if if i flawlessly perform i think
i'm on the right track
and you are you are doing so so so far
it's been good
i have to mention that your chemistry
with something which people are
absolutely loving it's crackling
according to them
how do you see it because i think after
shivaka i mean that was a benchmark on
television in a lot of ways right
people watching
chemistry how do you see that
what what is this
stone is what i see i see the response
too
soon it's it's amazing usually
for any a couple to build it takes
episodes
and we are just waitresses bi-weekly
we're not even we're not even every day
on television uh sets um you know
on television basically tv sets of
people
you know uh it is too soon and i'm
amazed i am really genuinely um
it's about what three episodes
um uh so it's it's a sweet
love connection chemistry with jay
that's mohit there's so much fire when
it comes to enough
i can say when it comes to wheel uh
people are enjoying okay so there's
there's a section that's enjoying this
there's a section that's enjoying that
and um i think i'm blessed to be working
with two hotties
i mean it's too soon again to ask but
how has it been so far shooting with
them
uh because you're working with them for
the first time is what i believe right
um how is it to get to know them because
worked enough with you know he has had
he has been working for the both
both experience yeah
both have great experience but i am that
way
uh pretty new when it comes to you know
both of their
uh journeys on television that way i am
pretty new uh mohit comes with this
fun energy on set uh we're laughing
around we are fasting around then
you know talking about food and stuff
like that you know his
uh and that's also not too much i've not
been with them for too long we've just
shot about 10 11 days
come because there's episode that we
have to deliver which shahrar charak
comes with an experience
working with balaji which which he is
so lovingly sharing with me when we are
sitting and chatting scenes
um you know he shares how there's a
pattern that they follow
when they're making shows if you see
biology shows they're different from the
other
tv shows um so there's a there's a
certain pattern that follows which
character totally comes with that
experience
it's so lovely to share about all of
that with me we try
we talk uh travel we talk food uh um
we've not been with around each other
for so long
but i see both the boys or even the rest
of the cast members
so much fun it's a great set to be on
and uh on any actor's wish list it
there's a tick otherwise
uh that tick was spending for very very
long
um from the journey and started off to
this journey today
uh and that tick has happened yeah and
i'm so happy for you that has happened
uh but tell me because this is a
franchise and obviously like you
mentioned that it comes with a certain
expectation
and especially because the last season
did not work as well as
it was expected because of lockdown and
many other reasons right
do you remember yeah do you feel the
pressure all the more because
this season is supposedly one of the
biggest seasons
uh which has been launched do you feel
that pressure uh
keeping the pressures of course i think
i'm very human to feel all the pressures
and i'm sure everybody is
but i will tell you very honestly about
that all the seasons everybody has put
their heart and soul
um
whoever has played nagin has put
everything they can
and i know it is not easy um you know
when you get something
you don't want to let it go right and
that's what i feel that everybody
has put their flavor when they have done
the season they must have felt what i'm
feeling today
uh you know so um
pressure to leave the pressure but
everybody has done justice to
whatever season they have done i'm not
going to take anybody's credit
uh till near season
uh pressure
you know some nuances something um
the person the kind of person i am you
know me
a lot of people know me uh i i if i even
if i can try to push put about some
percent of
a survey online money um i think
um i i have i have a feeling they might
like her
but tell me uh because it's a successful
franchise
also there comes a trolling pattern
i'm sure because of vfx people will make
comparisons with west we also do
we also tend to do it it's natural yeah
so how
are you prepared that day that will
happen the audience we're catering to
loves to watch it
you
ffm what atta no
and as an artist my job is like i said
to convincingly pull it off and that's
what i'm going to do
um cartel uh jesse i was watching a
little
kind of a wrap that everybody's talking
about
fun to watch
i'm doing it for
like what is it that you are because
your last show
everyone knows i mean sanjeevani you are
phenomenal in it but somehow it
did not click as much with the audience
as your as ish but
as ishbas did right um how did you take
that
i mean you know because a lot of people
might i mean you know
there are times when people might feel a
little low
regret because decision how do you see
it in hindsight today
so what happens is that uh the person i
am
or uh the profession i've chosen i can't
be stagnant in life
uh and if i'm stagnant means i'm not
gonna take any risk in life
and uh for me my growth is only when i
risk it all and if i just keep like
bubbling i can't i have to experiment to
come out of that comfort zone
because that's mean in natural proof you
know having fun around fast and all of
that
i had to break that i had to do
something which i did with the previous
show
you think a doctor ishani was loved by
people she was not a character like that
she was so stern in the beginning
yeah however she melts you know
gradually through the journey
with uh with bunny also there will be a
fierce sight to her
which people will say
but um
it's okay you know so many people i know
of
i don't know if i should talk about this
uh when they see the show isn't doing
too well
they don't want to give it all they give
it up um you know with my previous show
we were still better but until the last
day uh you can ask whoever you want to i
don't want to leave any hope or even
no that's not what i am and that's
that's my hunger for
my uh to ask anyone
the script comes into my hand that's my
bible that's my
that's my stuff and that's what i want
to do but thank you so much we are
having
time um but thank you so much you know
our best wishes from my side always
i'm really honored you slaying it again
on stream
uh this time to kiss us all and
and very convincingly so thank you so
much once again and all the videos
you keep watching and keep giving me
feedback i love you
