'I am a bit of a fiery person,' says Shweta Tripathi

Actress Shweta Tripathi has always portrayed strong characters such as Golu Gupta in Mirzapur and Sandhya in Haraamkhor to name a few. She says she resonates with such roles because she is a bit of a fiery person herself.

With Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein, she brings forth softer and warmer character tour screens.

Shweta, while talking about her past characters and the challenges of playing a romantic role in Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein, said, “I’m someone who has played a lot of strong characters in the past, and I can resonate with them as well because I am a bit of a fiery person.

“But I think the biggest difference between Shikha’s life and mine is that there is a lot of pain in hers and embodying that pain while not having felt it, was a huge challenge.

Shweta said she has done action in the past but “this kind of action is very different.

“I find myself crying while running through gunshots and blasts. I am used to not being afraid. So even if it’s using a gun, I would not be scared, I would pick it up and shoot it, as opposed to here.” Talking about her character in the Netflix series, she added: “I play a character who’s fearful, yet, driven by love amidst chaos, and isn’t trying to emerge as a hero. I think that has been the biggest challenge.” The romantic thriller series Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein also stars Tahir Raj Bhasin and Anchal Singh. It will release on January 14. — IANS
