Playing roles that one can relate to and are hugely challenging is an actor’s job and Regina Cassandra has tread this path effortlessly, for the past two decades.
The actor gets into the skin of her character and brilliantly plays Kavya Iyer in Jaanbaaz Hindustan Ke which will be streamed on Zee 5 from 26 January.
“A female police officer has a lot more at stake than a male officer. Kavya Iyer has to tread her own battles at home and at work – the police services.”
Kavya Iyer needs, “to be pragmatic, progressive and practical at work.” Further, she has “to bring out reforms without letting gender come in the way.”
“She is a pragmatic leader and her convincing skills are too good. She wants to balance her career and home. She is a mother and wants to serve the country.”
“Jaanbaaz Hindustan Ke is a tribute to everyone in the forces. The first season is about female police officers. They do want to make this a multi-season thing.”
“The OTT space helped me build a rapport with my co-actors. I am a person who usually keeps everything to myself. I don’t speak unless I am spoken to.”
