Stepping into twin characters is a fulfilling experience for me because it widens the artistic canvas and lets me paint with broader brushstrokes of emotions. It allows me to present my best in both characters."

"While playing Kailashi Devi my focus has been on embracing her traditional values, language, and mannerisms while staying true to the emotional context of the role. When playing the character of her twin sister, I shift the focus to highlighting the contrasting traits of Kailashi Devi. I am genuinely excited about the viewers finding out what’s in store for them and Doree in the upcoming episodes.”
