Surveen Chawla does not follow a set process to approach her characters
Actress Surveen Chawla, who is gearing up for the release of her upcoming streaming series 'Mandala Murders,' has said that she doesn't follow a process to get in and out of a character. The actress recently spoke with IANS, and said that while she doesn't have a process to approach a character, she makes sure to be 100% present mentally in the scene, and do justice to the truth of the moment. However, once the director calls for 'Cut,' the actress easily moves away from it. The actress told IANS, 'I don't have a process. And I don't take myself too seriously. I stopped taking myself too seriously, as Surveen, the person or as Surveen the actor, both. This happened over the course of time. Where I didn't understand the hoo-ha. Or the bubble that I had created in my mind about who I was. I feel it's so important to not have that world around you where you're so engrossed in that bubble. That you can't have a bird's eye view of who you really are. I honestly don't have a process of getting in. Or getting out of one'. The actress further mentioned that a character or a part has ever really lingered on with her after she is done, dusted, completed a part. She continued, 'I think my only process is to just internalise and familiarise myself with what is written on paper. To such a degree that it becomes like second nature. Rather first nature. And then second nature is when I go back home from the set. I think I'm very instinctive, spontaneous'. 'I just kind of get disconnected. There is no part that has hovered around my head. For me it's a job that when I'm at it, I'm just 100% present there', she added. Chawla recently opened up about her role in 'Criminal Justice Season 4,' calling her character Anju Nagpal the 'emotional core' of the series. Chawla shared that Anju is calm and composed on the outside but carries a storm within, making the character both challenging and deeply compelling to portray. In a recent interaction with IANS, the actress shared her thoughts on preparing for her roles and what drew her to the gripping narrative. Reflecting on her character in 'Criminal Justice 4,' Surveen stated, 'See, for me, Anju Nagpal, my character, is the emotional core, the epicentre, the emotional epicenter of the show. And I think she's calm; she's composed. She's in the midst of a storm but not letting it out, not letting it show. She's keeping it all suppressed inside of her.' 'And what drew me to the part, actually, was all of this and much more, which I can't reveal as we speak. But more than just the part, I think it's also the entire team, you know, with such fantastic actors like Pankaj ji, Zeeshan, Shweta, Mitaji, Barkha, and everybody on board.' Indo-Asian News Service

Surveen Chawla weighs in on Deepika Padukone's 8-hour shift demand amid Sandeep Reddy Vanga row: 'Not fair to take away someone's personal passion just because they are a mother'
Amid the ongoing debate around 's reported request for an 8-hour workday and the backlash from Animal director , actor has come out in strong support of more humane working conditions in the film industry. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In an exclusive chat with ETimes, she opened up about the challenges faced by working mothers, the need for balance, and why burnout in showbiz is a real and pressing issue. Excerpts... Surveen highlighted the urgent need for structural change, particularly when it comes to supporting women in the industry. She said, "I think the environment in the industry today must become more conducive for mothers—especially new mothers—to work. Being a new mother does come with a fair bit of restriction; there's a lot to cater to when it comes to the child. We need to be mindful of that and try to support or accommodate them in a way that works for both the makers and the actor. I don't think it's something that should be questioned. I don't even want to entertain why that happened or why it should happen. It's simply the need—and so be it." She further stressed that motherhood should not come at the cost of one's passion or career. "I mean, you can't really take away—how do I put it—I don't think it's fair to take away someone's personal passion just because they're a mother and might not be able to give enough time. In general too, this is the only industry with such extreme working hours. When we're on shoot, it's crazy—you're gone for too long. There are days when you don't see your family, your partner, your children, your relatives—for days on end. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now And I don't think that's fair," she added. Drawing a comparison with other professions, Surveen emphasized the need for proper boundaries and a structured work culture. "I really feel we need proper rules and regulations to ensure that people in the industry can also find a balance. Like in other professions—you have fixed hours where you work, then you come home and have time for yourself or your family. It should be the same for us too." "So I think this needs to be considered—not just for working mothers, but in general. It's quite overwhelming. It can drive you insane. Burnouts are real, and many of us experience them, which is why we often need to take breaks. How cool would it be if we could go to work like in any other profession—put in seven to eight hours and still have a life to live each day? Wishful thinking, but I do hope we're able to achieve that someday," she concluded.
