Actor Sangeetha Bhat, who was last seen in 'Eradane Sala', believes in all kinds of acting, whether it is on the small or big screen. This positive and confident outlook is what she believes will help her get the attention of the Kannada audience. In a candid chat with Tini Sara Anien, the actor talks about the projects she is involved with and more.
It was after a gap of three years that you are being seen in 'Eradane Sala'...
I did 'Mamu Tea Angadi' in 2014 after which 'Eradane Sala' happened. I was working in the Tamil industry in between and was also doing Kannada serials. I didn't feel left out as I strongly believe that all platforms are equally important, as long as one gets to exhibit their acting skills. But it is a fact that artistes who aren't seen for a while are forgotten.
How did you handle this situation?
I am going with the flow. I know that I have a lot of time to prove myself here. I can keep exploring different industries but Kannada will remain my favourite language. I want my people to recognise me first.
Having acted in Tamil films, is the experience different?
In Sandalwood, in a big star's project the heroine is just there for the glamour quotient. In the Tamil industry, there are a lot of opportunities to explore oneself as an actor. They work on varied subjects and each character is performance-oriented. It was more challenging and fun to act in Tamil.
What have you learnt in the process of acting?
One has to keep perfecting their skills. I haven't been to an acting school ever. I picked up the 'navaras' because I was trained in bharathanatyam, which helped me to emote onscreen.
What are the different projects you are involved in now?
I will be seen in Vijay Raghavendra's 'Kismat' and in Rohit Padaki's 'Daiyvittu Gamanisi' soon. I was on the same social media platform as Vijay Raghvendra and that's where we connected. I always wanted to work with artistes like him and the project happened. In 'Daiyvittu Gamanisi', it was the catchy title that attracted me. I remembered it from the Metro train announcements. I also knew about Rohit Padaki's work and I wanted to work with Vasishta too. There's also a project by director K M Chaitanya.
The different elements that pull you to a project.
The director and his working style, the production house, the story and one's co-actors.
A few things you want to change about yourself.
I am an emotional person and this is not appreciated in the film industry. I need to learn to be more diplomatic.
Some things which you never step out without.
I am scared of germs. I never travel without my sanitiser and toilet spray. I also need my water bottle, as I need to stay hydrated.
What do you remind yourself when you are in front of the camera?
I tell myself that I have done this before and I can do better!
