The actress opened up about her process behind playing some of her most complex roles— Maharani Yesubai, Srivalli, and Geetanjali. “When you have experienced enough in life, in terms of heartbreaks and happiness, when you play these characters onscreen which are strong yet vulnerable and conflicted, it is you being human,” she said. She added “All humans are very layered—they have grey shades, black and white, In my 28 years, I’ve seen so much, been through so much that I approach my characters like that. I imagine myself having lived the life of Srivalli or Geetanjali and I just play with it.”
