Avantika Dasani: The second season of web series Mithya is going to stream on Zee5 in a few hours. The important face of this web series is star kid Avantika Dassani. She says that the tag of Starkid with her name is wrong. She says that her struggle is like that of a common actress. Highlights of the conversation with Urmila Kori on this series and its related experiences.
How did you respond to the first season? Any special compliment that you still remember?
Actually, many compliments had reached me. Especially despite playing such a gray character, people liked it. The audience had sent me a lot of messages on Instagram. People said that we hated your character, but we understood your character and the pain associated with it. What was very special for me was that I convinced people with my acting. Well, if I talk about the most memorable one, I would like to tell that the one who is my spot grandfather is also the spot grandfather of the legendary actress Farida Jalal ji. One day he called. He said that I am working with Farida ji. They need to talk with you. It became the most memorable moment of my life so far that the legendary actress Farida Jalal ji saw Mithya and she liked my work and wanted to congratulate me in this regard. He had specially called me to praise my work. This was very special for me. It wasn't like we met somewhere and then he said it.
Will there be a second season of Mithya or was it already decided?
No, not at all, our story was going to end in the first season itself. He had just left the opening that if by chance the show clicks among the people then he would do it further. That's just what happened.
What was your reaction when you came to know about the second season?
We all were very happy because of the first season. We had a lot of fun shooting it. This series has been shot in Darjeeling and Darjeeling is one of the most beautiful places, then going to that place and playing an interesting character. This is very interesting especially for me because I have just started my career.
What was your mother Bhagyashree's reaction after watching the series?
(laughs) I would like to apologize for my language. They didn't think that I could become such a slut on screen. I was very shocked to see my beloved daughter like this. Well, he liked my work very much.
When the shooting of the second season started, did you watch your season one again?
No, I didn't need to. I was the one who did the work. I easily slipped into Riya's character again.
How different is Riya's journey going to be this season?
In the first season, Riya was a college student. Who had a lot of trauma related to his childhood. A lot had happened to him in his childhood. He needed love, acceptance and attention from his family. He could not find it. The same family sent him to jail. Now that she has gone to jail, her core as a human being will definitely change. She will not remain the same person but has become more powerful. She can do anything to take revenge from Juhi. This time a different form of revenge will be seen.
How much do you believe in revenge in your personal life?
Not at all, I don't think about all this. I remain busy with my life and my thoughts. I believe that living your life best is the best revenge.
Is it difficult to get rid of the gray character after shooting?
I used to easily escape from him during the shooting itself. Huma Qureshi, Rajat Kapoor, Parambrata are with me in the series. If you work with them, you cannot carry the baggage of the character on yourself because they used to go into their character when the camera was on and come out of the character as soon as the camera was off. When you see their work firsthand, you definitely learn from them.
Huma Qureshi also gave you some tips?
Our building was very nice. It really is a firecracker. He has not given any tips by speaking like this but yes I have learned a lot by watching him. Always when I used to do reading before performing the scene, she would help me in how I could make the scene better. I am very grateful for that.
In the present times, a new face is coming every day, has the competition increased a lot?
Yes, there is so much content coming these days that it is very difficult to create something that people will remember. Well, I don't think much about all this. I just want to improve in every project of mine. The journey of all actors is quite different. It is very wrong to compare it. Everyone thinks that he is a star kid, so there would have been a queue of offers. It is not like that at all. I myself join the project only through audition. Nowadays, after Covid, auditions are also decreasing. Casting directors are familiar with. He gets the audition clip from them only.
Your upcoming films?
You are doing Avinash Das's film in these streets. When will it be released? I don't have any idea but I am eagerly waiting for that project because my character in it is exactly opposite to Riya.
What are the preparations for Diwali?
In our house the entire close family celebrates Diwali together. Special Diwali dinner is prepared in our house. We make rangoli together. Puja takes place at home. Let's light a lamp. All these are small traditions, which I have been doing since childhood, so they give me immense happiness. It feels better to decorate the house than to prepare oneself. As far as shopping is concerned, I only do shopping for my mother.
