Arshin Mehta, known for her diverse work in films like Circle (Telugu), Main Rajkapoor Ho Gaya, The Rally, and Sallu Ki Shaadi, is stepping into a new dimension of acting with her latest project, The Diary of West Bengal. Portraying Suhasini Bhattacharya, Arshin dived deep into the emotional core of her character, creating a performance that resonated both on and off-screen.
“For me, it wasn’t just about acting,” Arshin shared. “I needed to fully immerse myself in Suhasini’s world, to truly understand her struggles and emotions. This wasn’t a role I could simply step into when the camera rolled. I stayed in character throughout the shoot, listening to music and watching videos that upset me, keeping me connected to Suhasini’s raw emotional state.”
Her dedication didn’t go unnoticed. “There were moments when I was so consumed by the role that people on set had tears in their eyes, myself included. Goosebumps were felt all around. That’s when I knew we were capturing something real and honest.”
While Arshin’s personal life differs greatly from Suhasini’s hardships, she found a profound connection in their shared sense of justice. “I’m fortunate to have lived a life free from such struggles, but Suhasini’s fight for what’s right inspired me. This role reminded me of the importance of standing up—not just for oneself, but for society and our nation.”
Arshin’s portrayal of Suhasini promises to leave a lasting impact, both on audiences and her own journey as an artist.
