I will return to Umargaon in a day or two and you can see me back on air in a week. One of the best parts of playing this character is its huge graph. Barsine started off a very proud India hating princess who loved her father dearly, says Riya to IWMBuzz.com.
"However, over time and association with Porus (Laksh Lalwani) she mellows down her pride and plus she also sees the very dark side of her father who wants to usurp everything. Hence she chips in for the underdog (Porus). Then, as fate happens, Darius is back stabbed by Alexander.
Looking ahead she will play a very important role in the lives of Porus and Alexander (Rohit Purohit), is what she conveys.
Riya, who has mostly done historical like Bharat Ka Veer Putra Maharana Pratap and Razia Sultan further says, "Although my costumes and jewelry is lighter than most other female characters, I don't get it easy. The reason being that Barsine is the only one required to wear a corset which is needed to keep the upper body firm and also lends grace to my form.
Talking more about the outfit she says: "Wearing this very tight outfit is no walk in the park, I can't even bend. Also when I have to sit I have to sit uptight. This leads to body and back pain; so there are issues but then this come with the territory, so no great shakes. One other issue with shooting in Umargaon is the lack of mobile network on set. I am thinking of buying local SIM card, for my family gets upset when they are unable to reach me.
