Gossipganj – Tell us about your character

Anushka Sen – Alia is a young 21-year-old girl who’s smart, vivacious and has the world at her feet. Her adopted parents have spoilt her and made her feel nothing less than a princess. She is a head turner and she is aware of it. Alia is instinctive and really sharp. She might not understand emotions thoroughly y, but she knows every person surrounding her. She observes, she grasps and then acts on it, a wolf’s mind but pretend to be a sheep.

Alia is a social-media addict, but that’s not because she enjoys it but because she knows that the life of the rich and famous is enjoyed by the masses and it also feeds her bank-accounts heavily. The girl does have a soft-corner and emotions for people but doesn’t show it much, because she rather wears the cloak of vanity and have the last laugh. Simply put, she behaves like a blonde, but is a smartass bitch.

Gossipganj – What all preparations did you do for the character?

Anushka Sen – The reason I loved to be a part of Crashh was that it is a show based on the story of four siblings and how they struggle in their lives still comes up with a heart full of joy and dreams. OTT platform gives an opportunity to artists to prove themselves as an artist. My recent project in this dynamic OTT space lets me explore myself as an actor through the story. I loved the script and my character in Crashh as it is a beautiful saga of sibling love and the pain of being separated at a young age.

I do want the show to be fabulous and the one that stays with the audience as the show coincidently collides with Valentine’s Day popularly celebrated as the day of love, I would urge all the siblings to watch the show and hope it strikes a chord with them. We have given our hundred percent and that is all that we could’ve done since it was shooting the show with all the necessary precautions and limited units, it is a tremendous team effort.

There is also a glimpse of the mental trauma that they all suffer yet share a connection that they don’t know of. It was an emotional joyride to shoot the show and it will make me happy if the audience feel it too.

While makers ensure that all the guidelines are followed on sets, actors are also being extra cautious. There were limited people on sets and we wore masks. At every point in and around the sets, there were sanitiser bottles and sprays. It was quite a distinct experience, but I got used to it. It has become a new normal for everyone.
