Actress Tanya Maniktala, who is all set to be seen in Paan Parda Zarda, has spoken about her “empowered” character in the upcoming film and said that she has no interest in doing ‘flowerpot roles’.
“For me, it has never been about just being a part of a film; it has always been about what my character brings to the story. Honestly, I have no interest in doing what we often call ‘flowerpot roles’ — where a woman is simply there to fill the frame but not the narrative,” Maniktala said.
Explaining why Paan Parda Zarda has been a refreshing experience for her, she said, “Usually, in projects of this scale and genre, women characters end up on the sidelines, adding little more than a decorative presence. But with Paan Parda Zarda, it has been a very different and refreshing experience.”
