MUMBAI: Zee TV's popular fiction show, Meet has made a special place for itself in the audience's hearts, presenting the story of Meet Hooda (Ashi Singh), who questions societal norms of gender roles and proves that there’s no work or responsibility that a woman can’t take on! 

While the show has been keeping its viewers entertained through some dramatic twists and turns, the whole tale is going to turn on its head in the upcoming episodes as the show witnessed a 16-year leap after its glorious run for almost 2 years.

Amrapali Gupta plays the role of Shagun on the show and shines in these negative avatars, which is a stark contrast to her sweet demeanor in real life.

TellyChakkar reached out to the actress for a fun chat to talk about her character, doing very emotional death scenes, and more.

You have been a part of this industry for a long time and you have done many invigorating dramatic scenes, has that ever taken a toll on you?

Yeah. That's true that I have done so many antagonists kind of roles and when I was doing Qubool Hai people were hating me, and one time I got pushed by one lady, So I got hurt and it was in the news. One more time I got hate is when I was going for an interview and they were saying that you are such a bitch and a bad person but so I took that as a compliment because it is very good for a character that people are hating you. While playing Shagun you will not believe this morning, my mother-in-law came and said that you are doing very well, Shagun and even Papa said that and this is a very good compliment from my in-laws also that they are also feeling that whatever I'm doing is with full conviction so that they are also feeling that in Shagun’s antics. So that's a very good compliment. My in-laws felt that I was doing a good job and that they felt a bit scared, but it was a great compliment for my performance.  

What can we expect from your character in the show moving forward? 

What I expect to see when you do such a character, is that there are so many things to do in the same way or in a different way. So here I am. I'm very, very blessed that my director Jalak Ji, is very good. He lets me do whatever I want to do, if I want to make some changes or something I'll try to. When I started shooting and after a week or 2 weeks, he said that your character is a little dramatic, like over the top, So I felt that Oh my God, every time I have to do like so much over. So much like this that you know, extraordinary overacting, but after a certain point, when I started watching the show I realized that he was saying correctly because my character is a little like that, and until I do it differently the audience will not connect with my character and honestly will not feel what I feel about Sumeet. So, from that point I have started doing like this a little, I sometimes put extra and I put a little psycho and sometimes I put little craziness layers over there and sometimes I put little subtlety. And the writers are doing such a fantastic job with writing these shades and  I can give these so many shades. So definitely I will think that after this point I will also get so many roles and I will get to play so many shades. 

Shagun has been through quite a journey on the show. What is her motive, do you think she is after Sumeet? 

Shagun's motive, I think, toward Sumeet, is that when we were young, like before Sumeet existed and Meet was there, me and her husband Manmeet were in a relationship. He was supposed to get married to me, so now with Sumeet, it is revenge on me that I couldn’t take from Meet, and because of that, I'm taking it out on Sumeet. So this is my motive, that I want to destroy Meet’s children. I think negative characters don't have a motive, they just want to destroy things. They don’t think about what will happen, what is next, or what they want to just never forgive, they hold a grudge. I think that’s the same thing with Shagun. She doesn’t want to forgive things and she has forgotten what Meet has done. So that's why I think she's taking revenge on Sumeet. So it's not even about Sumeet and it's about her revenge that she wants from Meet. 

Amrapali is currently seen in the role of Shagun on Zee TV’s Meet starring Ashi Singh and Syed Raza Ahmed.
