Sukhmani Sadana: we don’t really associate with what India is doing with the small screen
“On the other hand, we don’t really associate with what India is doing with the small screen and I am not trying to disapprove it in any way. Most of the current generation people (actors) don’t want to do ‘saas bahu’ shows. For those who itch to act and are looking for right platforms, web series come in the picture. It is opening doors for anyone and everyone,” she added.
In “Sacred Games”, Sukhmani is playing a character that is edgy and grey.
Talks about herself
“I am not the normal girl in the show. I am very edgy, unpredictable, very abusive — both physically and verbally. In the show, I really don’t care about the world. This season was more about building up characters and introducing it. So, whatever work I did in the first season was very challenging and different,” she said.
For Sukhmani, working with Saif and Nawazuddin has been great.
“Nawazuddin sir has been a delight to work with. He is so real and raw in his performances.
It is just another level of acting. I feel like a complete amateur in front of him.
I just can’t wait to shoot the second season of ‘Sacred Games’ and learn more from him,” she said.
About Sukhmani
Sukhmani, who is also a writer and is currently writing a web show for filmmaker Vikram Bhatt and a feature film (a biopic), says the reach of the digital world is wide.
“The target audience is progressive and creative people. It reaches to the right people,”
added the multi-faceted talent, who also worked in Bollywood films like “Creature“, “Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum” and “1920 London“.
What kind of roles does she want to be part of?
“As an actor or writer, I just wish to keep getting really great work.
I always keep telling everyone that it hardly matters if you are doing small projects or big projects…
You should not get out of practice,” she said.
What she likes is intelligent and creative stuff.
“Good stories matter much more than if it is glamorous.”
