JITESH PILLAI
Talent Matters

Maanvi Gagroo has been acting since 2008 and has made quite a name for herself in the intervening years. She's a talent powerhouse who has a yen for comedy. Her comic timing has always been perfect. She's such a natural in front of the camera that whatever she does, doesn't look rehearsed. They say comedy is just a front for tragedy. Scratch the surface and you'll find the pain her characters are going through, which they're hiding behind their mannerisms. Making the audience root for you is the hallmark of good actors and Maanvi has been able to do so in each of her outings. She might not be the central character but you look forward to her appearances and soon becomes an indispensable part of every project. She's grounded, knows her limits and is fun to talk to. She's bubbling with enthusiasm about everything in life as we chat about life, career and other things. Excerpts:

Maanvi, what would you ask your character Siddhi from Four More Shots Please!, if you had to revisit her...

I would ask Siddhi from Season 3 about her problem and why she behaves the way she does. In fact, I, as Maanvi Gagroo, wanted to slap her! Especially in that scene where she roasts everybody at her birthday dinner. That was the height. But it was a great scene for me as an actor and I loved performing it because I got to say things that I would never say to somebody’s face in real life. I would also tell her to get some therapy!

Have you ever had a similar experience in real life where you were grieving and you behaved a bit off character?
