Actress Twinkle Arora speaks about how she approaches a role!

MUMBAI: When it comes to acting, 'Udaariyaan' fame actress Twinkle Arora who will be seen in Khubsurrat on colors says that challenging days, full of long dialogues, are what she loves. She adds that she makes sure to go through the script before she steps in front of the camera.

“There can be days when you have fewer lines and days when you have lots and lots of lines. And I love those days when I have lots of lines. I've always been a child where I couldn't cram. I read the whole screenplay beforehand as that is very, very important to understand what the situation is and the scenes that I need to deliver. It helps me in handling the dialogues well. So, this has been my routine in Udaariyaan too. Even now when I reach on set, I have a request to the AD to keep the script ready. I don't only read my scenes but I prefer reading the whole episode or the whole screenplay first thing in the morning while my hair and makeup are going on. And then before going to each scene, I take the scene-by-scene script and read it so that I'll be fluent in the scene. That's how I do it,” she says.

She adds, “Every scene and every act needs different types of treatment while shooting. But I like longer shots, all in one take. I like the acts where it is taken in one go. Because it's fun to perform when you are in the flow. But sometimes we also need to do shorter scripts, which are also fun once u r in the rhythm.

She says that she looks forward to playing a negative character. ‘’I would agree that negative characters would have more variations to play, whereas positive characters have their norms. Such characters have a little higher scope of variation because they generate lots of drama. Characters like that can mould themselves as per situations or their benefit. They revolve in all 3 shades white grey and black But when you're playing a positive role , you have to stay white.”

She adds, “I think now people can discriminate between the artist and the character. So, if you talk about negative characters, they get a lot of bashing, but it is also true that they get a lot of love and recognition. All u have to do is understand that they are 2 different identities

Meanwhile, talking about the impact of social media, she says, “ I know social media impacts a lot, but the only solution to it is not taking anything to heart and just performing the best. Just perform whatever has been given to you. I think as far as I've experienced my journey, I have experienced both physically challenging scenes as well as emotional ones, and also a combination of scenes which were physically and emotionally taxing. I think when I am in front of the camera, everything is easier to do for me because that's what I love. So, if the scene has some kind of requirement which is challenging, I don’t get scared, I know I can do it.”

Meanwhile, she adds that a character needs to evolve with the storyline. “I think it's the most important thing for a character to evolve as the show progresses. Initially, when the show starts, it is just an introduction to the traits and norms of the character. But as the story evolves, it is very important that situationally, the character changes. Even in real life, when our life changes, the situation changes, we react differently. We do not always react in a certain way or we do not always talk in a certain way. So, as per the situation, the character needs to evolve, to keep it fresh and entertaining.”
