She believes being a Russian and having a good command over Hindi helped her a lot in her career. Elena said, “It was an amazing experience. Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya is famous and all the stories are good. People love PTKK so I wanted to be a part of it. Our story is so touching, so it was very easy to connect to it. My character’s name is Faye. She is a simple, gentle girl from Canada, who is in love with India and Indian culture.”

She adds, “My knowledge of Hindi helped me a lot. I didn’t need to think of dialogues, I just had to feel the character and express the emotions. Because when you don’t have command over the language, you become conscious while delivering dialogues. I don’t have that issue because Hindi is like my second language now. I don’t even feel that comfort in English as it’s not my mother tongue as well.”
