Q.Tell us about your role in The Last Hour

I play a very mysterious character in the series, so I cannot reveal much. All I can say is I was thrilled. I have never played a character like this before. Both the show’s concept and storyline are very unique. Also, I had watched director Amit Kumar’s Monsoon Shootout. I felt he thinks differently, so I wanted to work with him.

Q. Do you believe in the otherworld, or in ghosts, perhaps? Are you superstitious?

I’m not superstitious at all and I don’t believe in ghosts, but I do think there is some kind of energy. And there is, of course, good and bad energy. I don’t think we are just physical beings on Earth. There is something beyond this.

Q. You are known to be something of a prankster. Did you scare people on the sets?

I haven’t had time to play any pranks this time. It was very cold and we travelled a lot. We were freezing half the time [laughs]. There wasn’t any time for jokes. We just wanted to do the shot and go back to the fireplace or to a place where it was warm.

Q. What has been your favourite supernatural film or story?

I love watching supernatural films, horrors and thrillers. Even though it’s quite old, I recently watched The Shining. It’s a classic.

Q. You will also be seen in Netflix’s Mai this year. Will national audiences see more of you now?

Yes, I have been doing Hello! for Hoichoi, shows for Zee5 (Black Widows, Forbidden Love, etc) and other OTT platforms. So, yes, you will see a lot more of me. For now, though, I’m really looking forward to The Last Hour and Mai.
