rival site - tejasvi gave 20 retakes for 1st shot

here is an extract

"I am quite lucky to get to play a young girl of my age. Also, the theme is not like your daily saas bahu shows, rather, it focuses on the ugly scourge of terrorism. I am quite sure that many people will identify with the loss that my character Rashmi goes through after she loses her father and brother in train blasts. This changes her entire life," she reveals.

"I still remember those three horrible days when we were stuck to the tube praying that it ends soon."

"I still remember that I could not get the first scene right. I had to cry, but I could not shed tears even after applying glycerin. It took us around 20 takes to get the scene just right. Hats off to my director sir, who really had the patience to bear with me. Now I am getting the hang of it. I think that acting ka kida (the hang) which we all talk about, was always hidden in me, " she smiles.

"It is quite adventurous as my character tries to scuttle a serious plot to wreck havoc what makes 26/11 look like a tea party. I am getting to learn about the craft in this process," she remarks.

"As an actor, one should do all kinds of stuff," she quips. However she admits that doing those kind of roles will not be as enjoying as her current assignment.
