What was your reaction when offered this role? What made you choose this show?
I was offered Naagin 5 as well but I wasn't very convinced with the character. However, I was feeling very bad that I am missing out on the Naagin series. So, when Naagin 6's offer came to me, the makers told me that I'll be playing the negative lead. There will be a shift in the character. this sounded very interesting. There are artists like Sudha ma'am, Urvashi ma'am and many more, so it was too difficult for me to say no to this.
How has been your experience working in an Ekta Kapoor show?
The experience is really nice. You get to know a lot of things. Honestly, I haven't worked with any other production house except for Balaji. So, I can't comment on the difference between working with Balaji and another production house. The experience of working in a TV show is very different from that of working in a movie. I am 4 films old in Bollywood. Working in films and TV shows is very different. I am lucky that both my shows are made under the Balaji banner. I didn't have to go anywhere else. It was like a homecoming for me.
You have done a couple of films before this. So was it a conscious decision to take up a TV show?
Not really. I auditioned with ALTBalaji for a web show at that time. I was not looking to do anything on TV at all. But things didn't work out when I auditioned for a web show. I didn't have my dates free, so things did not materialise. But they got my profile. Then Balaji got my profile and the TV unit got to know about this. Then they asked me if I was interested in TV. So, when they told me about the character in Haiwaan, it sounded very interesting. This is how I took up Haiwaan. And now, the reason I have taken Naagin as it is a successful franchise.
Gayathri has previously done films in the South film industry. She was also seen in Ajay Devgn starrer Raid.
