Mumbai, Nov 12 (NationPress) The talented actress Sayani Gupta, known for her role as a complex antagonist in the forthcoming season of the International Emmy-winning series ‘Delhi Crime’, has shared insights about her character's journey in the show.

In the third season of ‘Delhi Crime’, Sayani portrays a character deeply entrenched in the world of human trafficking. She serves as the second-in-command to Huma Qureshi’s character, Badi didi, maintaining the delicate balance within this grim chain of exploitation.

During an interview with IANS in Mumbai's BKC area, ahead of the season's premiere, Sayani elaborated on how her character represents the transformation of an oppressed individual into an oppressor.

She explained, “My character, Kusum, comes from a troubled past. She idolizes Badi didi and is completely self-serving. I enjoy discovering the spirit animal of my characters, and for Kusum, it’s a rat. She’s not just any rat; she’s a small, agile mouse who knows how to navigate the hidden corners of her world, always prepared for unforeseen circumstances. She’s clever and resourceful, but she’s not malevolent. Her intentions are simply to maximize her limited opportunities.”

Sayani continued, “Kusum’s unpredictability is striking; she often oscillates between roles. Sometimes, the liberated become the oppressor, a theme that resonates with my character. She is responsible for keeping the other girls in line. At times, I felt remorse for how I had to portray the mishandling of the trafficking victims. However, we built a strong bond on set, forming a supportive group. I do apologize to them for my character’s actions.”
