Aleya Ghosh on playing a character daily for 14 hours

Actress Aleya Ghosh, who plays Paro in Ishq Ki Dastaan Naagmani, says that for actors it is tough to get out of their characters when they leave the sets. She even ends up imbibing some of the traits of her character. She says, “Not intentionally, but it happens. You cannot get out of the character that you are living every day for 14 hours. You start behaving and even thinking like your fictional character, which is normal. And I can proudly say that now I have more traits of Paro than Aleya in me. But, balancing your life and work is important. I do it through meditation.”

Aleya also shares how people call her Paro now. She adds, “Even aunties in my building do that now. However, daily shows are hard work. Getting up early in the morning every day is a tough task. But, of course, passion keeps you motivated, it works like magic.”
