During an exclusive chat, Sumeet Vyas spoke about his character, his experience and what were his takeaways from the role.
Q- Any memorable memories from this series that you would like to share?
A- I think the most difficult and perhaps the most rewarding scene was the interrogation scene. I had read the scene before when I read the entire script but obviously when you start shooting you forget how long and heavy those scenes have panned out. The day we were shooting, I didn’t know we were shooting that particular scene. I was not really prepared or geared up to do it but it made sense because I didn’t have any preconceived notion about how I am going to enact it. I spontaneously read the lines and performed the scene. A lot of credit goes to Srijit Mukherji because he lets the actors express themselves and motivates them to explore newer things. I was able to do that because I didn’t have any set preparation or method hence the result was organic. In the end, I am hoping it turned out pretty well. I was very happy, satisfied but extremely exhausted because it was a pretty long scene.
Q- We always take back learnings from things we do in life and especially with actors, every character teaches them a thing or two. What learnings did you take back from your character in this show?
A- I hope I haven’t learned or grasped anything from Tauriq because his agenda in life is something I personally disagree with in real life. For instance, if I had to take something from his personality I would borrow his patience. Tauriq is extremely patient and sharp. He doesn’t react immediately to things. He observes, wonders and breathes before his next move. In that sense, he is a very clever character, and I would love to take some of his qualities home.
