Disney actress Tara Sutaria made her Bollywood debut in Karan Johar’s Student of the Year 2, and her most recent film, Apurva, attracted attention. Tara, who has over five years of experience, talked about what has thus far helped her grow as an actor and a person in an interview with Hindustan Times. She also explained why she is unfazed by competition from up-and-comers like Khushi Kapoor and Suhana Khan.
Tara Sutaria on getting in character for Apurva
While talking to HindustanTimes, Tara Sutaria said, “From the second Nikhil sir narrated the film, I wanted people to not think of Tara playing Apurva but a different person altogether called Apurva. There was absolutely no makeup. The only thing I have put on my face is mud. I didn’t take a shower for two weeks when were shooting in Rajasthan and that was the look required for the character.”
The actress further said, “At one point, there was only mud on my body, hair and even insects and stone; we were shooting in desert. I definitely didn’t want to look slightly pretty. I knew that the feel (of the film) and the look should match the theme, and not Tara. I did my own makeup with the mud or created bruises, blood marks and scratches on the face and body.”
Tara on competition with Suhana Khan and Khushi Kapoor
The actress said, “I don’t look at it as a competition at all. I did my first film with Ananya Panday who was launched at the same time. I have grown up with a twin sister. What people call competition is not competition for me at all. To be honest with you, I don’t think what anybody is doing in the industry, someone else is also doing. What young actor is very different from any other. Whether it comes to our features or the way that we act, deliver dialogue or dance, everyone has created their own space.”
She added, “The movies they are doing are very different from each other. I don’t think it’s too crowded in the industry right now or anything. I cannot say it for everyone, but at least for my journey so far that weird sense of competition between me and anyone is not there.
Of course, I have noticed healthy competition between a lot of young actors but it has never crossed my mind because my taste and choice, the way I have approached my life and career, is very different from how others are approaching. There’s enough story for everyone.
I am not really interested in thinking about what everyone else is doing because that’s their style, taste and choice. I think there’s enough room for all of us. I genuinely don’t think any of us are in the same bracket as each other. They have very different wants and needs, as an actor, even as a human. My needs as an actor, and individual are like anybody else I know in the industry. I am very content with what I bring to the table. I am very happy and comfortable with my space so it doesn’t bother me what others are doing.”
