Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Pavitra you have been in the industry for a decade now, you have played some exciting roles, tell us how has the journey been for you and when did you decide to be an actor
Ms. Pavitra Punia:
Thank you so much for the compliment. Yes. I have played many roles till now that I felt I really should go ahead and portray the characters. I’ve only played once the positive character but after that I’m doing all the negative characters in that too because I find that in negative characters you allow yourself to show more versatility in the matter of what kind of actor you are and you can see a lot of variations basically as an actor.
Also. I have never planned to be an actress. I always wanted to become an IPS officer and right now being in this industry also for so many years, since 2009 now my forte is – like I see myself more on Forbes and not in this industry anymore. But let’s see. I’m destined to be in this industry and I am doing my job with full gratitude and with as much hard work, I can put here I’m being loyal with my work.
