00:00 My name is Avantika and I play Karen Shetty in Mean Girls.
00:03 Karen to me is like a bundle of joy, a bundle of oblivious joy,
00:10 and I think she has kind of gotten roped into the plastics
00:15 because she's beautiful and because she, I guess,
00:20 struggles to maintain a sense of individuality.
00:23 And I think throughout this movie,
00:26 we see her kind of perceive everything that's happening around her
00:30 and perceive the bullying in a sense of being like,
00:32 "Oh, what is going on?"
00:34 And I think it's really interesting to see how someone
00:37 who may typically be seen as like a pushover
00:40 kind of grow a sense of understanding of the world around them.
00:44 With the advent of social media, a lot has changed.
00:47 And so I think it'll be fun for audiences,
00:50 at least this generation, to see themselves a little bit more clearly.
