zest for life
. He didn’t say what he looked like. But people only choose to read what they have already formed in their heads. Toh looks like her nahi kaha tha unhone. Unhone kaha tha, aapki attributes jo hai mujhe dono mein similarities dikhti hai”
The actress also recalled how she was frequently thrown out of the classroom in her tender years for having an ‘opinion’. She shared that, as a schoolgirl, she was regularly thrown out of school for having an ‘opinion’. While speaking about her character (Anita Varma), Pooja shared that Anita Varma is very, very human. She feels that filmmaker Nitya has given her a big responsibility when she told her that. She wrote Anita Varma keeping her mother and her school principal in mind.
Elaborating further, Pooja added that she was a rebellious teenager thrown out of class very often in her life for having an opinion and not being the most popular opinion because it was the lone one.
The actress added that now playing the principal of a girl’s school, because she was in a girl’s school growing up, was a kick in more ways than one. Pooja mentioned that she just accepted it because it’s very difficult to be relevant.
The boarding school drama also features Mean Girls and Spin stars Avantika Vandanapu, Aneet Padda, Dalai, Vidushi, Lhakyila, Afrah Sayed, and Akshita Sood, among others.
