Actor and dancer Sudha Chandran is seen in an all-new avatar. She is the anchor of 'Crime Alert'. This is the first🐲 time she is hosting a show.

"Initially, when I took it on, I was a little appr𒈔ehensive because this is one genre that I have not touched at all. I have tried out acting but anchoring I always thought was very dif♉ferent and would also be difficult because your command of the Hindi language has to be very strong," Chandran says.

"Relatively I do speak Hindi quite well but nevertheless, there are certain words which have t൲o be said with precision. So I was a little doubtful. Also when you're the anchor of a crime show, you become a social messenger, you are conveying what is just and right to the audience. So that conviction is very important. 🙈A lot of questions were going on in my mind but nevertheless, I have always accepted challenges. I said to myself 'Sudha don't give it up. You have to give it a try', so here I am," she adds.

Talki💞ng about the uniqueness of the show, the actress says, 🤪"The stories we will be showing are not just stories, but drive home a message, helps one learn and concludes with a moral. The message at the end of each episode will help many."

"It's not the laws that we are talking about, but what we can do aꦆs human beings to help in keeping꧟ each other safe and create a better society. The show makes us understand our responsibilities towards society," she adds.

Chandran enjoyed collaborating with Himanshu Pathak and Payal Saxena, and th🌠eir Elixir production. She feels t𝓀hey know their job like no other.

"I think Himanshu and Payal are the oldest makers of such shows. When I started producing crime alert, I did a couple of episodes, produced a couple ᩚᩚᩚ🐠ᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚof episodes too and at that time working with them was a pleasure," she says.

"I have always looked up to them. They're such a wonderful team, who are both creatively and technica꧟lly brilliant. Payal has done a lot of short films and apart from everything I personally feel that she is a wonderful human being. I love being in her company. Whenever I am shooting with her, it's like one hell of a picnic where we are laughing, talking, chatting, eating," she shares.

Crime-based shows have a different feel and aud🍌ience. Agreeing, she adds, "When I was offered the show, I was like why me? But, when I met the team they said, why not you? And that kind of touched me. They convinced me to say yes and, looking back, I do🀅n't regret taking it up at all."
