‘It’s fun dressing up as a woman’

A true mark of an actor is when he or she takes up a challenging task and performs it with ease. Amol Parashar is one such versatile actor who plays Nirav Chhabra in The Zoom Studio’s web series Ready 2 Mingle. In one of the episodes, Amol wore  a girl’s top with ‘Daddy’s little princess’ written on it. In the second episode, he had put a piece of lingerie on his face as a mask, and pretended to be a superhero.

The actor had no qualms in doing these scenes, and managed do it with ease even when the entire cast and crew was making fun of him. Shares Amol Parashar, “All these scenes where I am wearing or dealing with women’s clothes are written as a part of the narrative, and do not just exist as a gimmick. Wearing a piece of lingerie on my head, or getting into a cheerleader’s costume may be unfamiliar to me but it is not uncomfortable. And that is the plus point of being an actor - that you get to do unfamiliar things. What’s the fun if you are going to run away from them.”
