Actress Anupriya Goenka has spilled the beans on how she prep💯ared for her character ‘S🌱hankari’ in the web series ‘Sultan of Delhi’, revealing how she made a backstory to understand her role.
Being a part of a Milan Luthria project is no joke and every role is integral, equally i๊mportant and well designed and thought off. When the director and his vision is on poꩵint, actors do feel the pressure to prepare extremely well for their respective roles.
Talking about how she prepared for her role in the series, Anupriya said: “It is one of the most difficult characters that I have played so far as earlier I have playe♍d roles where the character is doing ౠthe right things, and has mostly taken responsibility of the people around her, and I could relate to that but Shankari is a very vicious character who can harm innocent people for her goals.”
The actress shared that it 💮was ve🌄ry difficult for her to make sense of that.
“To be honest, it is one character that made me feel a lit♍tle nervous ༺about playing and equally excited about as well till the time I was on set,” said the ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ actress.
Anupriya further said: “To prepare for my role, I made a backstory of Shankari to understand her, tried going through literature or content that would take me back to the 60’s to understand the mannerisms and get a sense of how women of her stature or her kind of personality walked a🔥nd spoke.”
“I d🍨id not want to play Shankari like a regular vamp while also making it delicious. The costumes and the set was what helped me the most to prepare to play Shankari,” she added.
