Essaying the title role in popular
television serial "Heena' earned
Simone Singh wide recognition.
She has acted in many Hindi
films too. Having been
acclaimed for her role in the film
"Being Cyrus", she has moved
back to the small screen after a
gap of nine years.
She is playing the role of a
Kolkata-based powerful
businessperson and mother
named Sakshi in a thriller drama
"Ek Hasina Thi" which went on
air this month.
Recently in the Capital to
promote the serial she spoke to
The Hindu Friday Review.
You are making a comeback
after a long period.
Yes, I took a break to maintain
the balance in my personal life.
When televisions serials became
daily soap operas one had to
shoot all the thirty days in a
month, so it became very
difficult to allocate time for
family and self. Now the
scenario has changed, it has
become organized.
Describe the character Sakshi
enacted by you in the serial
"Ek Hasina Thi". What
character are enacting in the
serial "Sakshi"?
I am playing the role of a
Kolkata-based businessperson
Sakshi and a doting mother
who always stands by her son
through thick and thin. . So
there is a negative shade in the
character portrayed by me.
The location of most of the
television serial stories of
television serials is Mumbai or
Gujarat. In this serial Kolkata is
the location. Any specific
reason?
Actually script has been written
keeping Kolkata in mind. The
series depicts the culture and
tradition of Kolkata. And also
this is not the first time that a
serial has Kolkata as the
background.
With the story being located in
a different city, will the
viewers get to watch a
different plot too?
Yes, it has a different plot from
most of the shows of today. It is
the story of a woman named
Durga, seeking justice for a
crime committed in the past.
She steps out of the limitations
imposed by traditions and uses
her own reason to conquer the
mighty.
This is also the story of her
clash with the character Sakshi
enacted by me.
Having acted in serials and
films, Last, you have acted in
both T.V Series and film, how
do you select the script?
The story has to be convincing
with a well written character.
Also the director and the team
making the film are important.
