Her rich filmography is the result of her breathing life into diverse characters, some breezy, others layered. Sensharma’s mantra to play emotionally taxing characters — never take them back home. “I don’t know how or why, but I am able to [shake the characters off]. When you are shooting, it’s fragmented and is different from what you finally watch when it’s completed. While filming, you have to conjure [the tension]; it’s not your reality. Maybe the roles leave a mark on me that I am not yet aware of.”
The actor gave one of the most loved performances this year in Geeli Pucchi in Ajeeb Daastaans. Tell her that she has luckily not been pigeon-holed, and she offers a different view. “I haven’t fully managed to escape being typecast. Earlier, I would keep getting roles that were morally upright and honest. It’s only now that I have started getting dark roles,” she states, noting that there has been a sea change in writing that has led to better-defined women characters.
