Asha Negi on the concept of 'Everything is fair in love': "It’s something people say, but I don’t believe..."

In a recent conversation with India Forums, actress Asha Negi addressed the buzz surrounding the new thriller featuring a honeymoon photographer as its central character. She shared her thoughts on the character, the show, the concept of love and deception and more. The show's unique concept and gripping storyline have intrigued fans, thanks to its mix of mystery, deception, and the complexities of love.

In a brief interview, the actress playing the lead role of the honeymoon photographer shared her thoughts on the project. She spoke about how the trailer has already given audiences a glimpse into the story. When asked if she was guilty, she teasingly responded, “Why should I tell you? Watch the show, and you’ll find out!”

The actress went on to explain why she chose this project, stating, "When I was briefed about the show, the story was incredibly interesting, full of intrigue and thrill." She mentioned that the layers of her character were what attracted her to the role. "This photographer is passionate about her work, and then she gets entangled in a scandal. She's on her honeymoon and gets caught up in a mysterious scandal, and then it’s about how she tries to save herself. There are so many layers to this character.”

The show, as the actress described, is a murder mystery that challenged her in new ways. "This was definitely a challenge for me as an actress, especially compared to all my previous work. I’ve been seeking roles that are challenging, something that gives me sleepless nights, makes me nervous, gives me jitters. Comfort zones can get boring after a while," she remarked.

When asked about her favorite murder mysteries or thriller shows for inspiration, she mentioned, “It wasn’t horror, but I think ‘Dahmer’ was a great thriller. It’s on another platform, so I can’t say much about it.”

Delving into the challenges of preparing for such an intense role, she admitted that she relied heavily on her director. "I often go blank, and I turn to my director for workshops or during the shoot itself. I leave it to them to guide me. This was my first time playing such a role, and while I had my own experiences to draw from, I leaned on the director a lot. It wasn’t just a murder mystery; there’s also situational comedy woven in due to the circumstances. So, I had to balance all these emotions, from fear to strength."

The actress also revealed her creative process, adding her own improvisations during the scenes. "Yes, sometimes in the middle of the scene, I would think, ‘I’ll add this here or change that.’ It even happens after the shoot—like, why didn’t I do this differently? So, while I listen to my director, I also make some adjustments if I feel it’s needed."

The conversation also shifted toward the show's theme of deception and whether everything is fair in love and war. Without giving away too much, she hinted that the audience would get answers once they watch the show. "It’s about love and not keeping the mystery alive. I can’t say much more than that."

As for her thoughts on the famous saying "Everything is fair in love and war," she gave a candid response, “I don’t think so. It’s something people say, but I don’t believe in it.”

This upcoming thriller promises to deliver a compelling story of passion, deception, and intrigue, leaving audiences to question the boundaries of love and morality.
