It’s the most challenging role I’ve ever played, says Plabita who plays the role of Fetish Girl in Escaype Live

Plabita who plays the part of ‘Fetish Girl’ in Disney+ Hotstar’s upcoming series Escaype Live too got an opporunity to essay a character that she has never done before! It was a challenging part and she had to prepare for it, to ace it.

In her own words, Plabita shares her experience of preparing for her role of Fetish Girl in Escaype Live , “There were many days of prep. I worked on my body language and the dance performances with the choreographers and on my dialogues and tone of character with the director. I needed a lot of prep for Fetish Girl because I wanted her to look absolutely effortless and I wanted to look extremely comfortable in my skin. Since I have never played such a character, I was very grateful to have been offered it. I needed to work hard to make sure I did my best with it.

She further adds , “It’s the most challenging role I’ve ever played. It was tough to look at myself and act on a selfie camera. I must add, it was possible for me to deliver my best because of the whole crew. The entire team made me so comfortable, without it, I’d have had a tough time being Fetish Girl on set.”
