My whole background is character acting: weird costumes, fat suits, playing men, playing animals - I've never played anyone with whom there's any overlapping Venn diagram.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm quite an odd little part of the Venn diagram. I'm not a movie star and beautiful in that way. I do an odd thing that's funny and sad, and my face and my old body can take that.
Look, every actor has a different way of preparing or creating a character and yeah, we all are from different backgrounds.
It's quite hard to find a ballsy or complex character. So the roles I've taken are those. Lot's of people put me in the dark category.
When I act, a part of me goes into the character I am playing.
A lot of people get stereotyped into roles just from how they look, and I have played such a variety of characters.
I always devise a background so that it makes what your character goes through logical and keeps up the continuity.
Every time when I start preparing my character for a movie, I always try to make up and create my own background story for the role in order to fill it with life.
Just like how male actors get to play varied characters, I would also like to play characters that people don't normally see female characters portraying on screen.
Character roles only indicate that they're very different from who you are as a person, and for me, it's fun hiding behind characters that are so unlike who I am.
All of my characters tend to be montages of different people I've met: little bits and pieces of their personalities put together.
