There is so much to learn from them, for example, their judgment on a certain character or how a certain scene should be done. I got to work with all the really experienced theatre professionals. I did, and I am so thankful and grateful for that. You also got to work with many veteran actors in this filmвЂ¦ I used to do my rounds in Badra, go to the smaller gallies and church and feel it! It was a long, but beautiful process because I could see myself become Karina. But to be Karina was a whole different process.

I believe whatever was written for Karina DвЂ™Souza in the script. Yeah, there were a lot of preparations as Karina DвЂ™Souza, my character is quite different from Angira Dhar in personality. Were there any preparations for the role. She took me under her wing and almost mentored me. One day I was sitting in a cafГ© and Shanoo Sharma, who is the casting director of YRF spotted me and asked if I was an actress. I hadnвЂ™t imagined myself as an actress at that point in time. I was getting a lot of offers from the directors I had met with during my stint as an off-camera person. The transition was touchwood, quite smooth and organic for me. I was a producer with Channel V and was only involved in production work behind camera. I am just grateful that I have a film right now and it has helped me reach so many people through my craft. And would always imagine how it would be to be where they are. I have seen her and so many women create magic on-screen. You know, Sridevi had always been one of my favourite superstars. When I was off-camera, I never imagined that I would someday be working in front of the camera but of course, while I was growing up I was looking at the screen and seeing all the heroines perform. How was this transition from being an off-camera person to an on-camera person was like? You had worked for Channel V before, behind the camera of course. The fact is there is not just a crunch and problem in the physical state but also in the mental state! We strive to find our own space, even more so when we become independent. I know this is true because of the kind of responses we are getting from faraway countries, as I said. We just took the issue of Mumbai but we knew that this story would be somewhat relatable to maybe somewhere in Paris. I feel that this problem is pretty global. Uh, I think because we are living in a fast-paced and continuously growing world, where the population isnвЂ™t pretty much under control, I believe that every major city in every country would be facing similar issues that a Mumbaikar faces. Do you think the audiences would relate to it everywhere? Love Per Square Foot has the backdrop of Mumbai and how taking a flat there can be very difficult. Like someone is messaging me from Patna and someone from Russia. That was insane because as imagined I was getting so many messages and responses from places like Brazil and Turkey. I could just imagine the reach this film will have. But when I found out that it was a Netflix release, I was very very happy.

See, we were looking at a theatrical release in the beginning. Love Per Square Foot got a Netflix release instead of a theatrical release. Hi Angira, first of all, congratulations on your debut film. She opened up about her journey from off camera to on-camera, on the response to Love Per Square Foot and also her upcoming projects. We had a chance of catching up with the vivacious Angira post the release of her film.
