I am comfortable doing bold scenes on screen - Pooja Banerjee


 

 

 
Actress Pooja Banerjee, who is currently portraying Vishaka in popular show Chandranandini, has a bold role in the show. So how comfortable you are in doing bold scenes? 

"Yes I am extremely comfortable and I also make fellow co-actors comfortable in doing such scenes with me. I actually have been always comfortable in my body, that also means that even if I don't workout I am always happy with the way I look. I have been extremely comfortable while wearing swimsuits in my last show Swim Team as well, so even in Chandranandini I am very much happy wearing the costumes and talking about the scenes. I have also grown up as an actress, so doing bold scenes is not so much of an issue as long as you have confidence in your script and yourself." 

Interestingly Pooja has a striking resemblance with Priyanka Chopra. "I wanted to look loveable even I am doing a negative character and bold scenes. The fact that I resemble her also makes me think about her." Do you think television has become more bold "So has the younger generation in real life, so then why should TV be left behind. Perceptions of the audience have changed and so the content on TV also needs to be altered." So what are the changing trends on  television? " The most evident fact that marriage doesn't change the fate of actors in a negative way at all. The myth that marriage slows you down is also proven wrong." 
Pooja recently got married to national swimmer Sandeep Sejwal and Chandranandini is her first show post wedding.
