Popular actress Sangita Ghosh who is giving out a splendid portrayal in Colors’ Swaran Ghar, in the role of Swaran is enjoying this phase of her life. She is seeing a new high both personally as well as professionally. As she revels in this author-backed role, she also is enjoying blissful motherhood to little Devi.
In an exclusive conversation with IWMBuzz.com, Sangita talks at length about her personal and professional highs.
Excerpts:
What has been the best experience you have had as you play the role of Swaran?
It is the character I relate to. Swaran has a blend of it all and the connection with my audience has been immense. So the best part of playing it has been the connect with the audience through all age groups and how they feel. They laugh and cry along with Swaran.
Away from home and family, how do you manage yourself?
It is definitely difficult, especially staying away from Devi. But I have to give all the credit to my husband who makes it so easy for me. The production makes it extremely homely for me too. It is like a family away from my own. So as much as I miss it, I either fly home or they come here.
How is it to work with good actors like Ronit, Ajay and Hiten in Swaran Ghar?
They all are amazing co-stars. Each comes with its own skills and it is par excellence. I love to create light moments while shooting and Hiten is my partner in crime. Ajay is a brilliant actor; we are friends more than co-actors. Ronit has been brilliant, I got to learn so much from him. I like to evolve and learning is the best way to do that….whether that comes from an actor, senior, junior or at par with you.
What are your takeaways from the role of Swaran?
Her level of patience
Is there a dream role that had eluded you?
Many but all the roles I have played thus far have been dream roles in some way or the other as well. I would love to do something on the OTT; so I hope that materialises soon enough, that is on my bucket list.
Do you think there are ample opportunities in the TV industry today for a natural performer like you? Take us through your thoughts.
Television has evolved today. It is experimenting with content and I think it is lovely it gives an actor scope to perform. I have always loved my profession. So when I get to do more of it in different ways of experimenting it gives me a high. Plus there are a whole lot of new actors who seem to know the craft so well and are so groomed from the word start. They also get to experience from the new ways of Television and its making. Today I feel there is space for more.
Also, the content is debatable at every point in time. Everyone thinks differently and caters to varying genres. Some click and a few do well when compared to others. All I can say is that everyone is looking in the direction of making something better. The audience is the king, they approve and disapprove.
What will your message be for your fans.
Live and Let Live. Continue to Bless me and Mine and my little one Devi now.
