It must have taken more than just a script and rehearsals for Kashmira Pardeshi to prepare for her intensely layered character, Aliya, in Disney Hotstar’s series, The Freelancer.

Opening up about the same, Kashmira said, “The script is based on the book, Ticket to Syria. But I read the book much later as I was asked not to read it. I believe that a well written script will have everything that an actor needs. But to prepare for the character, I watched a lot of documentaries made on families that have faced this. On girls who have voluntarily fled to Syria, or who have been abducted and taken there. I read about Sushmita Banerjee, a Kabuliwala’s wife and referred to a lot of inspiring stories.”
