I adore every anchor I watch or I am standing next to. It's not the most easy job being live while you have countless instructions to follow. So, immense respect for each one out there.
— Nikita Dutta
With 'Gold,' it was a very simple girl, and in 'Kabir Singh,' it's more of a glam role. That's my aim: I want to experiment as much as I can. These two are very small areas of experimentation.
Whether it's TV shows or the films that I've done, it's always a priority for me that the entire script should be good.
Indian television is unpredictable.
My idea of chilling is to detox, and after you complete a project, there's so much to unlearn and start afresh.
In 'Ek Duje'... I play Suman, a girl who runs her own tiffin service in Delhi. She is calm and composed at home but quite bold when it comes to facing the outside world.
Things for me have quite changed after 'Kabir Singh,' and I am happy with the way things are shaping up.
There has been a positive change with people being aware about women's cricket of late. It's still far from what it needs to be, but women are slowly getting the right recognition for this game.
To experiment different kinds of roles always works well.
I am making my television debut with 'Dream Girl,' and hence, this role is very important for me. The uniqueness of my character prompted me to take up this show, how she cuts corners to get her work done, and she has a solution to every problem.
The industry is such - there is no guarantee that a show would work only because it is airing.
Doing a TV show is like temporarily getting married to it.
I didn't do anything productive during my break after 'Dream Girl.' I didn't even take a vacation!
It's better to take the good that comes your way instead of sitting around and waiting.
I am like the huge percentage of Indians who follow majorly cricket when it comes to sports.
The thing is, comparison and pressure have no boundaries. There will be comparison with your co-star, with the films that are releasing with your film.
Indian audiences these days aren't really interested in watching a character on screen evolve. They don't want to see a young girl evolve into being a partner and enter motherhood - they are only really concerned about the story. As long as the story is getting interesting with every passing episode, they want more.
In Mumbai, life is always on the go, but in Delhi, I get a break; it gives me a lot of peace. Here I feel like I am on a pampered holiday, and I am treated like a princess.
When a show ends, I need some time to chill, as I feel that I have grown five years older after doing it! I need at least a month to rejuvenate. This happens with Indian TV shows. If you do a show continuously for more than a year, you feel 10 years older.
I am excited to be a part of Netflix's 'Maska.' We have a stupendous powerhouse of talent.
My poker face makes it difficult for people to figure out what's on my mind.
