TellyChakkar got in touch with the actor to talk about her upcoming series.

When you hear a script, what are things that seal the deal for you, that makes you choose the show?

For me, I have never been bothered by what my screen time would be as long as it's something impactful and I am adding to the plot of the show or movie. The story has to be strong but the character should be something meaningful, in the last movie I did, 14 Phere, I had to play the role of a woman who was 65, but that is something that would never stop me from choosing a role. If I am adding to the plot then I feel like the role is enough for me, that's mostly my criteria.

Shiksha Mandal deals with the medical exam scam, but your story is more than that. When we focus on the characters, what is that one X factor your character had that made you say yes to this?

When I met the director Afzal sir, and Kunal and the way they narrated Annuradha to me as this Idyllic character. He told me that Anuradha is this lady cop who is his hero. There are so many complexities to Anuradha, she solves the cases. There is a family because she is married. Her dynamic with her husband, the dynamic she has with all the characters in the show. When I read the script, it felt too exciting of a character. And honestly, she is one of the best characters that I've played.

How much pressure do you feel when you put so much heart and soul into something and the release date approaches? Are there any nerves that happen, what is the usual reaction?

Any project that I do is as important and nerve-racking as that, and when you are an outsider, getting an opportunity feels like a win enough. And I am always very hyped about any and every project of mine, I am always excited, I was promoting my song till yesterday and now I am in that 'Shiksha Mandal' zone. And especailly for this show, I am nervous but I am keen as well because when you do put effort into something you want that people show it the same amount of love as you've had. And everyone involved in this project has put in the love. And I am proud of what we have created. 

Shiksha Mandal will also star actors Gulshan Devaiah and Pavan Raj Malhotra. Gulshan, who is known for playing notable roles in Shaitan, Hate Story, and Hunterrr, is playing a young hard-working man, who is a teacher and runs a coaching institute.

On the other hand, veteran actor Pavan Raj Malhotra is playing an antagonist in the series.
