She is one actress who is known to get into the skin of her characters. Be it Jayashree Bua in Yeh Meri Life Hai or Neeta in Kaho Naa...Pyaar Hai or the negative character in Kis Desh Mein Hai Mera Dil, Tannaz Irani has always impressed us with her acting.
Talking about the negative role that she is portraying, Tannaz says, 'This is not my first character which is a baddie. I have done such roles before and I think negative characters are easier because there is a clich'd image of such roles in the minds of people already.' Elaborating on it, she says, 'Ekta trusted me with this character. I was free to explore it and I really believe that no one else can do this role the way I am doing it. I have worked on it to be able to give it the effect that you see.'

Given that the television scene is booming right now, is there tough competition? 'We are one big family and find friends in each other. People are churning out serials like never before and there is tremendous talent in the industry and so are the opportunities,' says she on a positive note.

So many serials and so many newcomers. 'Yes, so many of them. But, many of them are taken in on the basis of their looks. Just a little more effort and they will be able to do better,' feels she. Does that mean it takes experience to make a mark? 'For sure. I mean look at Rajeev Khandelwal. Or Smriti Irani...it is a lovely thing to see her perform. Good actors are the glue that hold a serial together,' states she firmly.

Reality TV is big today. Does the fact of being under constant surveillance scare her? 'No, it is a good thing, right? Reality shows show people how stars relate to situations and how they react in real-life situations. Unless, of course, someone has something they want to hide,' laughs the actress.
So, shall we look forward to seeing her in a reality show then?
