1. You will be seen as Mahasati Anusuya in & TV's Baal Shiv, tell us about your character?
 
I am essaying the role of Mahasati Anusuya in Baal Shiv. Anusuya is the perfect balance of compassion and determination.  She is married to a very knowledgeable sage Rishi Atri, and they both admire, love and have massive respect for each other. She heads the Vedic Gurukul, where all the Gods and Dev putras study and live together. She takes care of Gurukul and its children as her own, imparts the best of knowledge, and cultivates discipline in them. Her unwavering faith and devotion to her husband have helped her earn the title of Mahasati.

2. How did you bag this role?

Being a part of &TV's Baal Shiv is a momentous occasion for me. This team is one of my favourites who made a successful show on Lord Shiva before. It is a unique show with a captivating storyline. When I was offered the role of Mahasati Anusuya, I accepted it instantly because it's an extremely well-sketched role for an actor and most importantly I love Shiva so yes there was an emotional soulful and spiritual connection. I have a lot of faith in this show and hope this show does well. Also, the character of Anusuya is very prominent and strong, and deep inside, as an artist, it’s an opportunity to get to play well-defined roles like this. I have essayed varied characters throughout my career, but this one surely stands out. This role is a reward and a big responsibility, and I am eagerly looking forward to it.

3. Any special preparations you are undergoing to get into the character?

We have a research team on board to help us understand and absorb various character nuisances more clearly and deeply. We have a fantastic creative team and director. Besides, we also have had a series of workshops to prep us in every possible way. The expressions, body language, proper diction, dialogue delivery, voice modulation, look test, costume trials, and more. Baal Shiv is my second mythological show, and mythology is very different from other genres. A lot of research and preparations go into bringing every character to life. No doubt, it is an enriching experience playing such an intense and pious character.
