When I found out that Sarisa was doing a promotional interview, I wanted you to do a long-form interview with her, and thank you for doing that! I’m glad you mentioned Julie Ganapathy. Her performances are often ignored (perhaps because they are loud with very broad strokes). She finds a really sweet range in it, and it’s amazing when she begins to monologue while fiddling with her pistol. i am a big fan.

I was a little disappointed that she was (almost) reluctant to talk about her processes and techniques, despite your promptings. I have seen this happen to Lakshmi too. Even Sridevi, who refuses to talk about anything anyway, never shares insights. They all stick to the same line very politely. It’s all the director’s job. I guess it’s because everyone started really young. Each of them has grown with the tools given to them by their mentors and grown to be good actors, but we rarely see them talking about it. This seems to be the case with many actors of the time. (For better or for worse, compare it to a young actor who’s done a good job or he’s two to talk about the process (although it’s true that it did exist)). Shift is interesting.

Her experience on her first day at Maro Chalisla left me, in a strong word, cringe. Imagine that she has a 14 year old girl and the guys are trying to make her emote something she doesn’t understand. Twitter Discourse™ notes that female actors tend to be very superficial and diplomatic in interviews, because even the smallest rift can get others involved in unpleasant incidents, and it is in their best interests not to change. I remember saying that it might be because it becomes Maybe there is truth in it.
