When you are much younger, you want awards and recognition. May be if I had done roles – I think roles get awarded for what they stand for. I was about to google something and got to know two decades after winning it. I called up director Govind Nihalani to confirm. I read it online about 20-25 years later. The funny thing is I didn’t know I had won the Film Journalists' Association Award years ago for 1991 film Drishti as Best Supporting Actress. I like to work on the nuances of a character that the audience is left happy and have been surprised and haven’t got that they are used to getting.Īre you satisfied with the recognition that comes your way or you feel your talent needs to be recognised more when we talk about awards. You have to sit and do the physical learning of lines, making sure the accent is correct. I brought some of my own experiences of listening to my grandmother and added certain phrases which were not a part of the script. For Bhanno Devi, I worked a lot on the language even though I am half Haryanvi and familiar with the language. There is lot of hard work which is pure labour that goes into preparing for every role.
Do you do some sort of research or it just comes to you now since you are an expert in the field?Īs an actor I am trained and have a lot of experience but of course I do a lot of home work. It’s a powerful role which you have played quite a few times. You play a policewoman in new web show, Your Honor. Everyone, including the director, was wearing PPE suits and it was so hilarious because after some days of wearing those suits, the guys from the makeup department had made little frills at the base of his PPE suit and slowly people had started making geometric patterns in their suits. Every actor was given a separate car with their staff, there was no mixing up so in case anyone got Covid, they knew which section to isolate. We were flown to Bhopal in a private aircraft. We shot during the pandemic and our producers were super protective. Nothing was around except sugarcanes, a town was there atleast a kilometre away.ĭid you face any difficulty in shooting at such a location? A little clearing was made and the set was created amid acres of sugarcanes. We shot it in sugarcane fields in Madhya Pradesh and the sugarcanes were very tall – 7-7.5 ft tall. Whether Nushrratt's character gets nurtured or is devoured will be known only in the film. There is nothing about her that is ordinary in many ways. While the forest is very powerful, you can either feel safe in that power or feel a little scared in that power.
She is powerful and like the dark force of nature.
The name of the forest is Bhanno Devi, which is also my character, if I talk allegorically. Nushrratt has come to a strange forest, trying to find some security. Tell us more about Chhorii and your role in the film? In a chat with Hindustan Times, Mita shared her experiences: from shooting her latest release Chhorii during the pandemic to how things have changed for her over the years. A familiar face, Mita has played all from a negative character in Taal to a terrorist in Dil Se. Mita is seen with Nushrratt Bharuccha in the film which was shot during the pandemic in sugarcane fields. Mita Vashisht, who plays Bhanno Devi in latest horror film, Chhorii, has come a long way in her more than 30-year-long career but still believes in doing her homework for every single character she plays.
