How does it feel to have Nazar back on TV screen that too in a movie format?

For me Nazar is not just a show it’s a family and the day I got to know Nazar is going to be back in a movie format I was super excited and thrilled and it is going to be an amazing experience for both me and my fans.

Any point of time you were not convinced with a scene and thought it wasn’t required?

I felt that sometimes the scenes are not required because Nazar is a crisp show; there has been action drama everything.

Absolutely, I feel very lucky, Nazar has given me a chance as an actor and as a fan and I have quite a family now.

What’s next?

I’ll keep a surprise because I am not supposed to spill the details.

Challenges to play the role of Piya?

To play Piya required commitment, both physically and mentally , doing action in saree and kurta , becoming a ghost mermaid and even though I don’t know swimming I had to be confident and I thoroughly enjoyed my journey being Piya.

Are you content as an actor?

I always wanted to become an actor and I am very happy to entertain people and connect to them through my acting.

Are you fine with going bold on-screen?

Not yet, I am not ready to go bold on screen but I might get ready.

What kind of roles do you wish to play in the near future?

I am open to all kinds of roles as long as I am true to my art and the script and role is nice, I am open to playing all characters.
