Actress Rasika Dugal has been busy working in new seasons of various web shows, and she says playing the same character all over again in a fresh season is like meeting an old friend.
“I have had a lot of second seasons this year. It’s been an interesting journey to revisit Beena (‘Mirzapur’), Neeti (‘Delhi Crime’) and Meera (‘Out of Love’), and to experience how they might have changed as people,” said Rasika.
“Reprising a character for a new season is like meeting an old friend — you basically know them and understand how they are wired, but they are not exactly who they were when you met them last,” she added. Rasika recently completed the shoot of “Out Of Love” season 2.
On working during the pandemic, she shared: “Initially, it was full of trepidation and nervousness for everyone, but because safety norms were being followed, all of us eased into it soon enough.”
“It also helped that we were shooting in the hills. It felt safer,” added the actress, on shooting in Ooty and Coonoor for the second season of the show for two months.
On the first season of the show, the Mirzapur star played the role of a physician, Dr Meera Kapoor, who discovers her husband (Purab Kohli)’s infidelity and struggles to deal with this revelation.
Dugal said she is fortunate to have wrapped up the shoot despite the challenges posed by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
“Shooting for the second season of ‘Out Of Love’ felt like a work vacation in the mountains! I am blessed to be living an actor’s life and to be shooting outdoors despite the constraints and the challenges of the current times.
“I am glad that I got to be Dr Meera Kapoor for so long and I am very excited to have the viewers see the many shades of her in this season,” the 35-year-old actor said in a statement.
The Hotstar series, which debuted in 2019, is an Indian adaptation of the British show Doctor Foster.
Dugal had a packed 2020, with the release of comedy Lootcase, Mirzapur season two and filmmaker Mira Nair’s series adaptation of A Suitable Boy.
