Mumbai, Jan 21 (NationPress) Former doctor-turned-model and actress Roma Arora, recognized for her appearances in television series such as “Jhanak”, “Kathaa Ankahee”, and “Kundali Bhagya”, expressed her passion for portraying negative characters.

Currently leading a live theatre production named Pyar Mein Twist, Roma reflected on her role in Jhanak.

She shared, “I portrayed Queenie Bedi, a celebrity judge on a dance reality show. Jhanak tells the story of a girl named Jhanak who aspires to be a renowned dancer. As she competes in a prestigious dance reality show, my character evaluates her performances, driving her to unleash her full potential and reveal her remarkable talent.”

Discussing her preferred roles, Roma mentioned, “My past roles include Sophia on Zee TV's Kundali Bhagya, where I played Karan’s girlfriend from the USA. My bratty character often highlighted Preeta's middle-class background, adding an intriguing dynamic to the series. She was a lively yet antagonistic character.”

Roma expressed her enjoyment in taking on negative roles, stating, “This is a side of me that rarely surfaces in reality. Portraying something mischievous or even degrading is both a challenge and a delight. I believe there’s an immense depth and breadth to explore in negative characters, and I genuinely relish the process of bringing them to life.”

She emphasized, “It’s captivating to embody such intricate roles, which is what excites me the most as an actor.”

Roma commented on the rapid growth of the entertainment industry, saying, “The field is evolving significantly, especially in this digital era. With technology, social media, and emerging platforms, the creation, consumption, and distribution of content have been radically transformed. Audiences now have unprecedented access to a diverse array of content, leading to an increasing demand for genuine, innovative storytelling.”

She added, “Traditional media like television and movies are being complemented by online streaming services, expanding reach and enhancing flexibility.”

“This transformation also creates more opportunities for actors and creators to display their talent in varied ways. The industry has become more inclusive, dynamic, and fast-paced, compelling both artists and viewers to adapt to this evolving landscape.”
