I love being her because it’s about owning your desire, at least for some of the scenes.”
Rasika elaborated on how playing Beena Tripathi has been a liberating experience. In the show, Beena’s character exudes a sensual confidence that is both captivating and empowering. “So I get to be that for some of the scenes and people look at her and say there’s something sexy about her, there’s something sensual about her and you don’t know what.
