00:00My immediate reaction was I think shock and disbelief and yeah and then I felt

00:15something very novel which I don't think I've felt in so many years of my life so

00:20it was a very special day for me. It's a day that I'll always remember.

00:30Personally it means a lot to be recognized for doing things differently

00:38for choosing different things from the regular and for still achieving this or

00:47coming here so personally I felt that I felt validated I felt that I was at

00:56least you know someone up there was saying okay good girl you did you're

01:01okay you did the right things but yeah professionally I think you know I've

01:07been here for a very long time and I've been here for many years and I've done

01:11lots of films so I generally you know feel like people by now recognize what I

01:21can contribute to a film and they I already I always get that get my due is

01:30what I feel this is like a just a feather in the cap like it's just

01:35something that adds to that

01:42it was certainly a character that I needed to really get away from my

01:49comfort zone a little bit it took me a minute to sort of snap out of being me

01:56and to be Shobana which is a character which is very very different from me the

02:03mannerisms the small little mannerisms the little things so nowhere in the film

02:09you will see Nitya at any point you'll always see Shobana and that is that is

02:14not something it's a very subtle thing and it's small and it it's not

02:19noticeable but it's you know a very conscious thing so I had to I I

02:25definitely had to be a little bit shaken out of my comfort zone to get into this

02:30character

02:35it's very difficult to talk about special moments because we do so much

02:41multiple films and all of that and the film was two years back but I I think

02:47the song that we shot for at night in the streets that was when we were

02:54shooting it itself it felt special and it felt magical because it was kind of

03:02choreographed and done on the spot and it was done with the two of us and what

03:08was comfortable for us and what we could do and what looked cute and Nitya do

03:14this you know do that and like oh okay okay just jump just okay just stay I'll

03:19do this so it was kind of it just got worked out right then and there and when

03:25we finished the shot and we came out everyone looked like everyone was

03:30beaming and so there was something very magical about that shot and once the

03:37film released that is the one that got the most picked up and became so viral

03:45I wouldn't say there's like one person but when you watch things that are made

03:54with so much heart and soul and when you watch really good work good writing good

04:00direction great acting that inspires you to say okay this is what I want to do as

04:06well so you know this is what I should aspire to be a part of

04:14I hope so I really hope it does open new doors for me I'm very lucky in the sense

04:24that people do give me recognition for everything I've done until now but I do

04:30hope new doors open yes
