Utkarsha Naik on playing grey characters
She says her character Savita in Prem Bandhan has a very angle itself. Sharing her experience of performing this role, Utkarsha says, “I have played negative roles in the past, but the phase that Savita is in currently is different from all of them. Savita started out as a very positive character but she has now turned negative that is only disclosed to the audience but not to her family. So as an actor, I still have to switch between a positive and negative personality which is very exciting for me. The way I talk and even my body language changes accordingly. And I personally also enjoy playing the grey shade characters and my audience has also loved me in my vamp avatars. So, I am sure they are going to enjoy this new twist in the show.” The audience is eager to see this side of Utkarsha’s character once again.
