Talking about the similarities with his character, Varun said: “When I read about Ahaan and I got into the details of Ahaan’s dating life after reading the script, I realised that there might be a few similarities between him and me as personalities because I think Ahaan as a character is very understanding, he believes people easily and he just feels that everybody is a nice person”.

Talking about casting Namrata, Ruchi said: “The casting of Karma Talwar’s character was very tricky. In the story her character does some of the most unsympathetic and unfavourable things.”

“The casting director showed me one shot of Namrata where she was looking over her shoulder and I was just mesmerised. When I saw her test I realised what drew me to her in that photograph.

Actress Raveena Tandon, who is awaiting the release of her upcoming streaming show ‘Karmma Calling’, has shared that her character of Indrani Kothari in the show put all her skills as an actress to test.

Raveena told Ians: “Indrani Kothari did put all my skills to test because she is completely different to what I am as a person. It is the journey of a woman who has reached a certain place in her life and there are circumstances that have made her the way she is. It’s very challenging to portray a character when you don’t even have one trait in common with that character and it is so far from you in real life.”

The actress further mentioned,...

The reigning queen of Alibaug, Indrani Kothari played by Raveena is all things glam and glitz but what no one knows is what goes behind the making of this picture perfect character on screen.

Talking about it, Raveena said: “One of the most challenging yet significant part of playing Indrani Kothari was acing her glamorous outlook. She is all things extravagant and larger than life. Before we decided her final looks, we had over 50 look tests and costume trails.”

“As a team, we needed to be convinced about how Indrani dressed and looked. From classy make-up, hair and colourful bling costumes, Indrani Kothari’s character had to reflect grandeur,” shared the actress.

Actress Raveena Tandon has opened up on her offscreen bond with her ‘Karmma Calling’ co-star Varun Sood, and shared how during the breaks, they cracked jokes, chatted and laughed with each other.

The most difficult scenes to shoot are those when there is a hilarious moment, but the actors have to control their laughter. While being fun for actors, this can usually become a challenge for a director, especially when it’s a high pressure situation.

Talking about the scene, the director said: “One sequence which became a challenge was the sit down dinner sequence with all the main characters. It’s a high drama scene where everyone is setting the other off in some or the other way. We were shooting this scene at around...

It ended up being more fun than intimidating because she had so much expertise and professionalism, she was just there to kill it.

Mumbai, Jan 10 (Ians) Actress Raveena Tandon said that she rejected ‘Karmma Calling’ a decade ago because her son was just a few months old.

Back then, the show was for Star and they needed a lot of days, but I couldn’t give so much time because my son Ranbir was just three-four months old.
