Narayani Shahstri on her show. Being married and her insane love for her pets.
1. You are one actor who has mainly kept to their work and never been as PR-savvy. Why?
I have always been a little more private, where I am concerned personally or professionally. Also, back then, the concept of a publicist was not huge as such, or maybe I was not aware of it as much. The circle was smaller, and I always believed that if anyone wanted to know about me, they would call or connect directly.
2. With the current show whats the one reason you took this character up?
My work is something I should believe in, though what I am doing right now is a little over the top, but it was a need I felt to want to do a role such as “rasode mein kaun tha ” Type roles hahha. Who i play right now is the antagonist, with all her crazy bits explored, so it was something I wanted to do.
3. What next from Narayani’s Roster ?
I have never planned anything. Ask me what’s next, and I won’t know, but I do know whatever it is will be worth every bit of my time and will be chosen and scripted for me.
4. You love pets, and you have quite a few of your own. How do you manage time for them?
When you love something, you do not need to manage time. Time just works out, and I love them to death. With everything that goes hand in hand, my husband is very supportive and is always there for me. I will always manage time for them, no matter what.
5. Years into marriage now, how is it, and do you recommend it to all?
I don’t think marriage is everyone’s cup of tea. It is a beautiful institution, and if done the right way, a partner can be like your parent, who will always be there. Its destiny and the choice of the person are essential; the partner has to be worth it all. It works both ways I live in the institution, but I do feel it is not for everyone.
6. Can we say that you are becoming a little PR savvy now and that you are here to stay?
I feel times are changing, and one needs to change with time. It has been created because there is a place for it, and it’s the need of the hour I feel today. I want to try this bit out, and I go where my heart tells me. So I am here and looking forward to conenct a lot more with my well-wishers.
