In an exclusive conversation with Sangeeta, she shared her experience shooting for the show and how challenging she finds her role to be.
Sangeeta said, “I really want to say that Siddharth Tewari sir is the most creative person behind this show and who finalised me for this character and believed that I can portray this character of Surpanakha. And I really want to thank casting head Sahil Ansari for this vision that I can be a Shurpanakha in this show as I have always played positive characters so this is a biggest opportunity for me and while auditioning also the whole team was so much supportive.”
Speaking about her experience shooting for the show, the actor share, “According to me it is a very venerable negative character and while playing this character I found that every negative character has a positive side also like Shurpanakha’s love for her brother was so deep but we cannot deny the negative side also.”
When asked about the challenges she encounters enacting the character, Sangeeta averred, “There are many layers and complexities to my character. Playing a grey shade is an X-factor for me and a big challenge.”
