Mumbai: Popular television actress Shweta Gulati has revealed how new types of content on digital platforms in the present times are providing actors with a good scope of work including playing realistic and relatable characters.
Talking about the same, Shweta told news agency IANS that anthology films come with real characters. “In TV, every character is either very good or very bad. I don’t think it’s real. I think we tend to overdo everything, be it the emotions or the presentation,” she said.
She said, “The web series has opened up space for more real and relatable characters, stories, and social issues. It’s quite exciting for actors like me who have been around for so long and still haven’t got a chance to play more real characters.”
However, the actress does not blame the makers of the shows on television as she feels that she creates content as per the demand of the audience.
On the work front, Shweta is working in the anthology digital series Crimes and Confessions. Shweta is playing the role of a make-up artist in the story titled ShemShem. Her character’s name is Rekha. She is the personal makeup artist of an old-fashioned actress. This is the story of old woman. I have never played a role like this in my 18-year career.
The actress also revealed that her on-screen character Rekha has influenced her a lot as a person.
