When playing a negative character gets too much, actor Ariah Agarwal plays fetch with the dogs on the set
Playing negative characters can be extremely challenging and demanding for an actor as getting into the character’s psyche is crucial. Without doing so, the character can get lost. While actress Ariah Agarwal has successfully managed to fit into her role of Shweta in Prem Bandhan, she ensures she does not leave her bubbly and fun personality behind while not doing a scene. At times you can see her playing along with the dogs on the sets and recording some hilarious videos with her co-stars.
Ariah says, “I ensure I get out of Shweta’s persona soon after I hear cut! I think it’s important to not lose yourself especially when portraying such roles. So you will often see me playing fetch with the dogs on the set or even feeding them. I have even gone to the extent of naming them all. One of them has been named Chi-Chi. They’ve become friends with the rest of the cast too. Besides this, we shoot some random stand up. So yes, I do ensure that I am myself off the camera.”
Ariah’s co-stars too agree with her thoughts on this. In fact, break time has become bonding time with videos, dogs and a lot more of fun activities.
