Surbhi Jyoti rose to fame with her stint on
the show Qubool Hai. In the show, Surbhi
was seen playing a strong character in
Qubool Hai. Surbhi later went on to feature
in a web series Tanhaiyan opposite Barun
Sobti. The actor has now returned to the
Television with Naagin wherein she plays
the role of Bella. Ever since the premiere of
Naagin 3, it has been Surbhi's character
which has left everyone intrigued.
In a quick chat, we spoke to Surbhi on
Naagin 3, her character and the constant
dissing of the show on social media.
Here's an excerpt from the interview:
1. Your first reaction when you were
approached for Naagin 3?
My first reaction was whether I should do it
because I knew there will be a lot of
comparisons. Comparisons will be there in
any field actually, but it is a challenge when
you have to compete with something which
is already very good. So, I picked that and
Naagin is the biggest brand and has the
highest TRP. Good Mouni Roy has set such
high goals,
mazza ayega usese upar jaane mein.
2. Tell us about your character Bella?
Bella is very simple She knows what is right
and wrong. She is very observant. She has a
purpose. She is very close to her father and
therefore she does everything in her
capacity to make sure he is debt-ridden. The
story basically is what she does for her
father and family and how her character
changes and what all twists and turns she
brings
are something to witness.
3. With three leading ladies (Anita
Hassanandini, Karishma Tanna) on the sets,
how is the atmosphere like?
It is very positive. Everyone wants to give
their 100%. The pressure is not just on the
actors, it is also on the creatives as it is a
challenge for them to bring something new
to the table, something different from the
previous two seasons. This season is very
different and that's why I am really looking
forward to it.
4. Did you feel pressurized with the constant
comparison being made with Mouni and
Adaa Khan?
No, I was very sure that it will be loved
because people are in love with the Naagin,
the concept of Naagin, they are in love with
the character. So, people love supernatural
stories and characters and of course, the
actors playing the character. I am here to
give my best and no one can take that away
from me.
5. Your previous show Qubool Hai too had a
few supernatural elements and now
Naagin.. do we conclude that you have a
sort of fascination to supernatural thrillers?
It is not a new concept. We have seen
Naagins and their stories since childhood. It
is an age-old concept but it is still rocking
because people are intrigued by the idea of
a serpent. They really fascinate people. So, it
wasn't really difficult or weird to think that I
will be a part of such a show. Of course, to
understand my character was a little
challenging. Ekta has beautifully described
the characters to us, the writers and creative
are particular of what they want and have
conceived it all beautifully. When I was
listening to them, I could see they have high
hopes from me and I want to stand up for
it.
6. This is your first collaboration with Balaji
and Ekta Kapoor. Tell us about your first
meet with her?
Everybody in this industry wanted to play
Naagin. It is a big achievement in itself that I
am doing Naagin and that is with Balaji.
Now every new thing comes with a
responsibility. Ekta is very professional, she
is very clear about what she wants and
explains in such a way that it gets into your
head directly. She has some different aura
around her.
7. But Naagin has constantly been dissed by
a large section of society on social media.
Your comments?
My point is, their superheroes are different.
They have Spider-man, Superman, Ironman,
we have Naagins, we have purnjaram
concepts. Every culture has their own
folklores and we grow up listening to them.
Of course, western movies have high
budgets and then they do an amazing job. I
am also a fan of Avengers. But if there were
no good shows in India, Naagin wouldn't be
no 1. We haven't lost touch with our roots.
Humein jitna chahe Superman dikhado,
humein fascinate Naagin hi Karta hai. So, we
can't run away from this fact and this is not
just in rural areas. I have seen people from
urban areas who say that they religiously
follow Naagin.
Naagin 3 airs on Colors during weekends.
