CHITANGDA SINGH EXCELLED AS A 40ISH WOMAN REFLECTING UPON HER LIFE IN THE CUTTING CHAI SEGMENT OF MODERN LOVE: MUMBAI. SHE CHATS WITH TANISHA BHATTACHARYA ABOUT LIFE AND CAREER
Weapon of choice

Actors are always busy juggling, between not A Lone but many lives. With their onscreen and off-screen characters constantly overlapping, sometimes it becomes quite the challenge to wade past the illusion that surrounds this profession. A case in point is Chitrangda Singh, whose last outing in Modern Love: Mumbai with Arshad Warsi gained a lot of positive responses for the simplicity of the story and her poignant portrayal of a character, which felt achingly real.

She shares how girl pals have come up to her and told her about the instant connection they felt with her character in Modern Love. Says she, "My male friends have started looking at things differently after watching Cutting Chai. That's how a poignant tale like that can make you feel. And that to me is a special moment." Adding to it, she continues, "It feels good when even though you do less, people kind of remember your work.

This I think is the biggest compliment for an actor.

It just keeps you going." Chitrangda marches to her own beat and would not have it otherwise. To stay relevant is the key, to be remembered is the dream. She's as excited about a five minute role as she's about a lead role.

Her only criteria is that the project should offer something challenging to her and allow her in turn to offer something fresh to the audience. She confides, "I'll be honest.

Bob Biswas is Abhishek Bachchan's film to quite an extent. It is all about Bob Biswas. And Modern Love was even more difficult because it was a short film, but it just connected with the audience. I don't think the screen time makes so much of a difference. It is your performance." S he's made a career of being selective and doesn't regret her decision.
