MUMBAI: Actor Subuhii Joshii is on cloud nine these days as she shooting for her new web series Aapatkalin Baithak. She says that she decided to come on board as soon as she heard the story. “When I heard the story, I was like, ‘Yes, I want to do this!’. It is special to me as I am shooting after a while plus, I have such amazing co-actors. I was getting a lot of offers for web series but I was not comfortable as they were very bold for me. I am not saying such a series shouldn’t be made, but I was uncomfortable. But this is super clean and I am loving it,” she says.

The actor plays the role of Jhanvi in the series. “This is a series where there is no abusive language and has no such bold scenes. It’s very neat and clean work. My character is the item of the locality. You know someone who everyone tries to impress. She is like the bomb of the mohalla, everyone likes her, including the hero,” she says.

Talking about her co-actors, she says, “I am working with Brijendra Kala and Atul Srivastava. Before I met them, I was nervous. Even today, whenever I go on a new set, I am nervous before I reach. The same was true here. But they were so down-to-earth and sweet. I didn’t feel that I am working with them for the first time. They were so friendly and sweet with me.”

Covid-19 has not been eradicated from the country and although shooting is allowed, there are a lot of restrictions to be followed, and this makes it tough, says Subuhii. “Shooting is scary as there are many people on the set. No matter how safe you are, you have to take out your mask while giving a shot. We are taking precautions like we wear our masks as soon as the shot is over and sanitise. On top of that, it is very hot in Indore, where we are shooting, and so to wear a mask continuously in this weather is difficult and is quite a task. We have outdoor shoots and there are no ACs, so it’s tough,” she says.

Meanwhile, the actor has plans to explore the city soon. “I am here for a week. I want to go to Sarafa Bazaar, the night market here. There are amazing things to eat there. When we have a day off, the entire team is going to go there to eat the local food,” she says.
