00:00So, my character is the character of Neha.
00:08She's a married woman and her life is circled with a lot of chaos in her life, okay?
00:14And she lands up getting in a lot of troubles and hurdles and why she lands up, where she
00:20lands up is a big mystery and what happens, why it happens is something that you definitely
00:26need to watch the series and figure out why this happens to Neha.
00:31It's a great character.
00:32She's neither extremely good, she's neither very, very bad or bitchy, but she is who she
00:37is and probably situations as such that makes her a great character or how she is.
00:43So, yeah, I mean, preparation-wise, yes, I did put on a lot of weight in between because
00:51I was not working out and then I had to get back to fitness, I had to start working out
00:55because this character was also about fitness and Neha is an extremely fit girl where she
01:00works out religiously, she goes to the gym religiously and this was me, Tina, as a person
01:05in real life as well, who loves fitness, just to stay fit, not to be a certain shape or
01:11a size or a figure, but to stay fit, not only physically, but mentally as well.
01:17And that's why I used to practice a lot of yoga and Pilates and I still do pole dancing
01:23also.
01:24I still do pole dancing.
01:25So, yeah, these are some of the fitness that I enjoy personally.
01:28So yeah, so preparation-wise, I think I had to get back into my fitness and of course
01:34I had to sit with my director a lot and discuss about the character because I was kind of
01:40nervous because this was my first time that I'm portraying a grey character, out and
01:44out grey character, you know, which is completely negative.
01:48So yeah, that's all about it.
01:55Because the storyline was very intriguing, sir.
01:58And it was a crime thriller.
02:00It was a very different concept, something that I've not done ever before.
02:04So that was the excitement and it was also written and directed by Amit Khanna, who's
02:08a very dear friend of mine and he's done, he's done very beautiful shows before section
02:13365 or 366, which was a super duper successful show.
02:17So I knew deep down, there was one more concept also, which Amit is working on.
02:23And it's a fantabulous concept, you know, so somewhere this concept and overall the
02:27entire storyline was very catchy to me.
02:31And I was like, okay, this is not a lame storyline.
02:35There is some kind of storyline to it.
02:38So I just took it up as a challenge and I just wanted to explore.
02:46My character reflects, so as Tina, like I just said, as Tina and Neha, if you see,
02:53both are into fitness and both loves to work out.
02:56And so whatever happens in Neha's life, it starts because of a personal trainer.
03:04And it starts with the gym, in the gym.
03:08So yeah, I mean, I will land up sharing a lot of storylines.
03:14So I think you need to watch the entire show to get an idea of why it happens, what happens.
03:24Like I said, I am not allowed to speak a lot about my character.
03:28Sorry about that.
03:30Like I said, she's a married woman and there are certain situations in her life,
03:39because of which her life is very rollercoaster, very chaotic.
03:43So why that happens, if you watch the series, then only you will have an idea about it.
03:53Okay, so I think I'm going to be a great mother whenever I want to accept motherhood in my life.
03:58And like I said, I did not express my wish to be a single mother.
04:02But if there's a choice, I would definitely want to be a single mother.
04:05I don't mind adopting a child.
04:06I'm very, very open about it.
04:08Like how Sushmita Sen has adopted two daughters, two beautiful daughters.
04:12I mean, there is no harm in adopting.
04:15We always think that we should have our own blood and all of that.
04:20I personally don't believe in that.
04:22I mean, my parents are also very vocal and open about it.
04:25And they have, in spite of being a Bengali and from a small town,
04:28they don't have that mentality or that setback that you have to get married and have a child.
04:33I mean, they are very, my dad is very cool about it,
04:36that if tomorrow I want to have a child by surrogacy or if I want to adopt a child,
04:41he will be very acceptable.
04:42My entire family will be very acceptable about it.
04:44It's not necessarily that, and in today's world, we all are very independent women.
04:49I have my own house, I have my own car, I have my own stove, electricity bill.
04:54I do everything with my own money.
04:55I can take care of my own responsibilities.
04:58So, of course, if I can look after myself, I can look after my parents,
05:01I can look after my family, I can also look after a child.
05:04Not necessarily that I need to have a husband to look after it.
05:07And if I have this mindset that, yes, my husband will bear all the expenses
05:11and will take care of the child and will do schooling,
05:14I think that's a wrong mindset.
05:15And it shouldn't be like that.
05:16Everybody should be independent.
05:20Society has been acceptable, of course, yes.
05:23But in the entertainment industry, everything is so out and loud
05:28because we are in the show business, you know.
05:32So, whatever happens to us, it just goes viral and all of that.
05:37So, definitely, people feel that, yes, because of this industry,
05:40people have been so acceptable.
05:42So, it's not like that, you know.
05:45But they are not vocal about it because they are not a part of this industry.
05:48Whatever happens to us, it just goes viral.
05:53So, people feel like that.
05:54But otherwise, yeah, I mean, otherwise, it's not about only the show business.
05:57I think everyone, apart from the industry, also has this mindset.
06:01But again, it's like 50-50, you know.
06:03Some people think differently.
06:04Some people have this open mindset.
06:15So, television, I want to be a part of shows which is more relatable to the audience.
06:21Which audience can connect to.
06:23Not something that suddenly, you go to a fire and then you reach the moon
06:31which is shown in daily soap these days.
06:33So, bizarre concepts which audience can't relate to.
06:36I don't think so.
06:37I can even portray that with convection.
06:41So, I want to do something which I am convinced of.
06:44Like this particular character, I was very convinced of.
06:46So, I can only portray and enact something that I am convinced of.
06:49So, definitely, I want something, the television industry to also show.
06:53Like Uttaran was a super hit show because it was not only progressive,
06:58but it was also relatable, you know.
07:01How a child from a poor household is treated.
07:06Which happens in our society.
07:08People have been looked down upon.
07:10If you don't have a lot of money or if you are not successful.
07:13So, I think all these stories are very relatable to the audience.
07:17So, I think that relatability is a must factor.
07:26Again, it's a long discussion.
07:28It's a debate actually.
07:29Because even now, if you go to small towns, villages,
07:33there are people who like to see such concepts just for the sake of entertainment.
07:38And then there are this mass audience, you know,
07:41the tier 2, tier 3 or whatever.
07:44They have a different mindset and they like to see different concepts
07:48with which they can relate.
07:50And probably that is why a lot of people are watching web series
07:52because that is a concept that they can relate to.
07:55So, again, it's each to its own zone.
