Sayani Gupta's Creative Journey in Delhi Crime Season 3

Mumbai, Nov 4: Actress Sayani Gupta has shared insights into her experience on the highly anticipated third season of Delhi Crime, describing it as one of the most creatively demanding projects she has ever undertaken.

Joining the talented Shefali Shah in this acclaimed Netflix series, Sayani expressed how her character challenged her to step outside her comfort zone, allowing her to delve into a multifaceted role unlike any she has previously played. At the trailer launch event, she remarked, “Honestly, I have to say this, I have not met a single human being who has not said, I do not love Delhi Crime. Not one. And I think it's the rarest thing, because generally films, shows, you know, it's very personal, we all take away different things. So to be able to come and join this incredible team, that has proved time and again that they do solid work and explore all possibilities to sort of showcase that world through these amazing characters that they are able to write and then execute with the entire team and with these phenomenal actors.”

She continued, “It's thank you for making me and if I can speak for Huma as well for making us and the new people who have joined the team, part of your beautiful team and giving us so much love and warmth while doing so.”

Reflecting on her long-standing relationship with director Tanuj, Sayani shared, "Honestly, I've known Tanuj for I think 11 years. We met in LA when I was there, you know, for Margarita with a Straw and somehow, he thought of me, right? And Apoorva and I have spoken about being in daily crime, this world. And when I read the script, I was like, oh, interesting, you know. But I think we all as actors wait for one director who's going to push us into spaces of imbalance, things that we are scared to do ourselves, things that we don't expect even from ourselves, no matter how able we think we are, and you know, things like that and for that opportunity.”

Discussing her character, she stated, “And I think the character of Kusum is incredible because it has no, there is no right or wrong for her. There is no boundary for her. She's a hustler, she's a survivor, she will do anything in her capacity and ability to just survive, you know. And so I had the most fun in my entire career of 14 years.”

“Delhi Crime Season 3” will see the return of Shefali Shah as DCP Vartika Chaturvedi, along with Rajesh Tailang and Rasika Dugal reprising their roles. The eagerly awaited third season of this acclaimed crime drama is set to debut on Netflix on November 13.
